About the Business
Forest Community Park is a popular tourist attraction located at 13900 South Harrells Ferry Road in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. This park, situated in the southeastern part of East Baton Rouge Parish, offers a wide range of recreational activities for the whole family to enjoy throughout the day. With enhanced maintenance, security, and recreational opportunities, Forest Community Park is designed to cater to a larger geographic area than a typical neighborhood park.
Visitors can explore the park's soft peat gravel walking and running trails, as well as boardwalk trails that wind through a section of the forest. Two pavilions are available for rent, each equipped with tables, seating, and electrical capabilities. The Raising Cane's Dog Park, open five days a week, offers a spacious area for furry friends to play and socialize.
In addition to the playground, splash pad, and tennis courts, Forest Community Park features redefined vehicular and pedestrian circulation, updated baseball/softball fields, and a renovated recreation center with extended hours of operation. Whether you're looking to fish, play tennis, or simply enjoy a day outdoors, Forest Community Park has something for everyone.

"Not EVEN SAFE!!! Kids are expecting better safety measures from the park recreation department…There is a BIIIIG PEST PROBLEM WITH THIS PLACE!!! The groundkeeper is NOT DOING HIS JOB!!! Need, black widow spiders, & mud bees… I’ve called the police on this place!!"
"Ammending my review from 5 stars to 3 as there is now a cut-through on one side of the park funneling a lot of traffic through it now. There are always a lot of cars, travelling much too fast, not heeding pedestrians, kicking up dust from the new unfinished road and making the air smell like exhaust. The kid side of the park is still fine, but avoid the dog park side if you're a walker; it's dangerous and unpleasant now. Update: Whatever traffic cut through that was happening before seems to have stopped. Wonderful place for a morning or evening walk. Plenty of spots for kids to play, there's a nice dog area with spots for small and large dogs. They're working on additional walking paths now."
"One of our favorite parks! Lots of space for kids to run and play, and the playground is great any time of year. During the summer the splash pad is a wonderful spot to visit. There are lots of park benches and seats around the park, though I've frequently wished there were more benches surrounding the playground. The nature trails are also a big hit with my family."
"We took our girls (dogs) so they could stretch their legs and get out of the hotel room and went on a trail and they LOVED it!! The park over all was nice and very clean!"
"My dog and I had a wonderful time at the dog park today. It was overcast and breezy which allowed the dogs to really run themselves out with over heating. We also walked around the lake and saw a few nice joggers and a group of kids that loved to pet the dog as we stopped then finished our walk. The park has many amenities like the dog parks (one for big dogs and one for the little ones), excellent tennis courts, basketball court indoors, and MA y pavilions for family events or just a lunch in the park."
