Monte Sano Park

A Natural Retreat

Located in Baton Rouge, Monte Sano Park is a little glimpse of tranquility managed by BREC, the local parks and recreation commission. This neighborhood park offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle, where you can reconnect with nature without venturing far from the city.

If you're in the mood for a leisurely stroll, spreading out a picnic blanket, or just sitting quietly with your thoughts, this community space provides a nice breather from your day.

Park Improvements

Over the years, Monte Sano has received some thoughtful upgrades that have really enhanced the visitor experience. The playground equipment has been modernized, drainage issues have been addressed (goodbye, muddy puddles!), and new fencing adds a sense of security to the space. Getting around is easier too, thanks to the addition of connecting pathways around the grounds.

The comfort factor has definitely been boosted with new drinking fountains, benches where you can catch your breath, and picnic tables excellent for outdoor lunches. Dog owners will appreciate the dedicated dog park area where four-legged friends can run and play off-leash.

Recreation Areas

If you're bringing little ones, you'll find the playground is especially suited for younger children. It offers basic play equipment that's well-suited for toddlers and elementary-aged kids to burn off some energy while you keep watch.

For the basketball enthusiasts, there's a basketball court available, however it's showing its age and could use some TLC. Within the park, you'll discover multiple open spaces that are good for tossing a frisbee, practicing yoga, or simply sprawling out with a good book.
