Top Playgrounds in Louisiana

Make sure to wear comfy shoes. There’s a lot of ground to cover, and my feet were killing me by the end. I could've used better sneakers!

Bring a picnic. There are plenty of shaded spots and amazing views. I saved a ton by snacking instead of buying overpriced food inside.

If you're into jogging or biking, I suggest hitting the paths early in the morning around 7 AM. The fresh air is lovely and the park is quiet.

Okay, so I totally underestimated how hot it gets. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle; the Sun can be relentless, even in early fall!

I recommend visiting Pontchartrain Park on a weekday morning around 10 AM. It’s way less crowded then and you can enjoy the playground without waiting for swings. Just don’t forget sunscreen, it can get hot quickly!

I think you shoud pack some snacks and drinks before you visit. The park is awesome, but the nearby food options can be a bit pricey. Having your own treats saved me some cash and made the day better.

I recommend checking out the local artists' market on Saturdays; it's a great way to support local creators and grab unique souvenirs without breaking the bank. Plus, the vibe is super friendly!
