Senior Citizens’ Park

STN-7

Observation

Baton Rouge Recreation and Parks Commission has not completed the Senior Citizens’ Park.

Discussion

To be truly useful the park should serve not only the elderly, but neighborhood families as well. The elderly usually enjoy the activity of children at play.

Recommendation

BREC should prioritize the completion of this park, adding a pavilion for sheltered sitting, raised planters for elderly gardening, and children’s play equipment.

Responsibility

Spanish Town Civic Association

Project Status

BREC has completed the park and the ribbon cutting was held in June 1999. The park won an Honor Award from the Louisiana Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architecture in 1999.
