Moncus Park

This is a beautiful Park and we went there for the farmers market. I thought there were a lot of different kinds of baked goods, cuisines, And handcrafted products. There was a great variety of everything and best of all, the people that we spoke with were very knowledgeable about their products. It made for a beautiful morning and apparently the farmers market is up and every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. To noon, rain or shine. The entire park was impressive. It was extremely clean and obviously very well manicured and cared for. It had a gorgeous large dog park and it looks like everything is in very good working order.

What a busy beautiful park. I was there during the Farmers Market on Saturday and went looking around. There's a dog park, a fun splash park, a giant tree house/play area for kids. There were so many families enjoying the park. What a great community space. Also, a really nice war memorial with pillars explaining each of the wars. Even a few times out of the year show movies at sundown. So happy they didn't develop the area. Thanks to hard work saving the area as a community space and to generous donors.

Absolutely amazing park, big hill to run up and down all day, forest area, splash pad, playground, dog park, and so much more. This park is one of my favorite parks in all of Louisiana, it's just a staple of southern Louisiana's culture, and it's not just because of the spectacular festivals. I go to this park a whole lot, and I enjoy every second of it anytime I go here. There are countless trails around the park, through the beautiful forest area, and around the playground area. There are many benches and picnic areas to snack on food around the park and also to take a rest from walking. The park is nestled right next to a water passage, which is beautiful to watch during sunsets. The last time I went here was with my two buddies and we went into the forest and we found a cool graffitied pipeway that was next to the waterway I snapped a photo of it and it looks beautiful. The ponds are taken care of very well and there are also ducks in the pond. I am unable to say how much I appreciate this park, truly a staple of Louisiana.

The walking trails around the park were enjoyable. They will be more enjoyable when the tree canopy grows in a little bit more and offer some shade. The wooden trail on the far side was a bit confusing and we ended up walking along the coulee for most of it, I think we must’ve missed a turn. We enjoyed the native Prairie planting on one end and the Native Plants in the lagoon. From the parking lot, it was a little hard to understand where the walking paths were. Maybe we missed some directional signage?

While parking is a work in progress so far I have never had an issue. I enjoy visiting for walks. The splash pad area gets busy but the further back you go it is quite peaceful.
