Highland Road Splash Pad

The playground is much improved by the recent addition of the new shade sails, although the slides and surfaces can still be burning hot on sunny days, so be sure to remind children to use caution. The splash pad itself is one of the best in the city, full of interesting water features, fountains, dumping buckets, sprayers, and watercannons. The splash pad allows for good play from infants through young teens. The splash pad itself is not shaded, so be sure to apply sunscreen frequently and thoroughly, especially in the summer. The maintenance crews occasionally return off the splash pad as early as 4:30 pm, sometimes later, and there seems no clear or posted schedule. Also, the splash pad is often off for maintenance; call BREC or check their Facebook page to confirm whether or is running.

Love this park. Its great to be back after 6 months, because of the pandemic. Unfortunately our 2 year old was a bit reserved going down the slides, but i guarantee next time we go, she will get acclimated quicker. She was more excited seeing the other kids and interacting with them, since she hasn't started back at daycare yet. Anyway, the Splash Pad was closed, but the playground, park and courts were lively. We recommend this to all, especially the locals if you've never been. The pics sum up her frustration when we told her it was time to go.

Great park, highly trafficked, very clean, and nice on site bathrooms

Beautiful park with accessible parking. Nice hiking/running/walking trails with excellent shading. Tennis courts nearby. Bathrooms, with family restrooms and changing areas right next to the park. Lots of shaded seating available. Splash pad area is fun for kids of all ages.

Great park. One of my favorites in town. There is a lot to do. Splash park, normal park and giant. Beautiful property to walk. Tennis courts, basketball. Have activities. Kids love it. If I have any complaints it's they need more covered seating for the adults by the parks. There is usually a lot of people and they take the covered spot. Besides that it's a great park. 👍

So much fun for the kiddos!

Super clean, nice area and big area to play in with lots space for families!

Best park I've seen around the area. Big and quiet. There's an American football field, Tennis courts, Disc catchers, a playground, a mini water splash park, beautiful woods, a mini exercising park, a huge sidewalk for cardio and more open space for other activities! 10/10 park.

Very nice. Large splash pad. Gets very busy in the summer time

Went on field trip with my daughters school and the whole park was beautiful and well kept. The children enjoyed the water area, there was so much for them to play with and on. Also there's lots of room to eat lunch at the tables under the pavilions.

Kids loved the splash pad and the playground equipment!

Awesome. Just not enough toys for kids under 9 years of age. Nice trails. Nice scenery. Public restrooms. Not much shade so find yourself a tree. 🙃

I loved it today was Memorial Day it was such positive vibes very peaceful kids running in and out the splash mound kids and parents playing in the playground and they youth tennis lessons goin on also it was a wonderful vibe and I'm born and raised in Baton Rouge and I can say if you wanna feel at peace this here is a hidden gem

They clean this park twice a day. It's a goldmine for children, an absolute heaven of playtime

The splash pad is a great way for the kids and you to cool off on these hot louisiana days especially when they wanna play at the park but is so hot and humid out. Park is clean safe and pleasant.

This is a beautiful park! The splash pad is a perfect cool treat for the kids all summer! The padding at the park area is soft and safe for bare feet! It's also pet friendly😀

I love this because it is free, right next to the playground, and very kid conscious/friendly. A place to go if your child needs some smiles. There is also disc golf, tennis, baseball, basketball in the gym, etc... This park has changed tremendously since I was a child, but I will continue to return and watch it grow.

Excellent splash park and a large covered play ground. We were happy how big and clean this park was. It felt safe, well definitely be back!

Clean with plenty of equipment for kids of all ages to enjoy. My kids love to play at this splash pad and there is a playground right next to it for them to play and dry off.

I loved the variety of swings, slides, and other adventures for kids to get out and play! It is also a great place to have private parties and play sports. This is definitely one of the better BREC parks in East Baton Rouge parish.
