Raising Canes Dog Park at Forest Community Park

It's a nice facility, there's a small and big dog side, and the big dog side has 2 doggie pools now. It can get really muddy but it's quite big. My dog prefers to walk the trails in the rest of the park and visit the duck pond. You gotta be aware of what dogs and owners are here. I used to come here often a couple years back when there was a great crowd of responsible owners/regulars. I find that if we come now it's very hit or miss, in terms of the dogs' behavior. Also very few owners pick up dog waste.

Great park with a lot to offer! There’s a huge open area perfect for outdoor activities, and the tennis courts are well-maintained. The big playground area keeps kids entertained, while adults can use the space for workouts or just a peaceful walk. It’s a fantastic spot to stay active and enjoy nature. Highly recommend for families or anyone looking to stay fit in a beautiful environment!

It’s nice when there aren’t aggressive dogs there. My Goldendoodle is a larger puppy and she has been attacked by 2 aggressive dogs at once so I’m hesitant to bring her to the big dog area unless it’s nearly empty. Now I take her to the small dog section. The owner of these 2 aggressive dogs doesn’t leave and her dogs attack other dogs often, as I see from outside the gate and hear from people who take their dogs to this park often. These 2 dogs visit often (the black dog and the white dog pictured). The owners whose dogs get attacked take their dog and leave but the owner of the aggressive dogs stay and does nothing about her dogs. When mine was attacked and I ran to break it up, the owner of the aggressive dogs sat there and told me “you don’t have to kick them”. While my foot didn’t connect with them, it scared them off, luckily. Now if I started bringing a bat when I take my dog to this park, which is closest to my home, I’d be wrong. Aggressive dogs should not be in there attacking and scaring off other dogs.

Best time to come is after work due to a nice castcade of tree shadows. Room for large and small dogs.

This is a really good size dog park with a dog wash station and a couple of pavilions for sitting. Plenty of trees for shade on either side of the park and a nice walking trail around the outside perimeter and through the rest of the park. There is one section of the park that's a little bit muddy it seems like possibly from the dog wash station water run off. Very well maintained and clean.

Loved the trails! Didn't go to the actual fenced in part for dogs, but my girls are more the outdoors free roam type so it was cool..I look forward to making these trails my girls second home

Shaded picnic tables and plenty of doggie bags, but owners are not picking up after their dogs.

Well maintained, has covered shelter for humans and entrance is secure so furry friends can't escape. Quite clean for a dog park.

I am so glad that this place exists; and that it's within 5 mi of my house. It's basically a huge space for dogs to run around and play in. There are a couple of trees for shade, but not many. Depending on the day, prepare for sun and mosquitoes. There are two small covered patios with picnic tables for non-fur persons, and about half a dozen benches. There is a concrete pad with water and two sturdy kiddie pools. There are a couple of small water bowls near the front; and separate water facilities for dogs and humans at the gates. There are a set of entry and exit gates that allow for the human to take the leash off the dog and prepare to go in or out of the park. Playground On the other side of the larger park. Not visible from dog park. Restrooms Within sight in the tennis building - if it's open. Dog-friendliness Most dogs are well socialized to other dogs. Every now and then there's a dog that's not so friendly. There is no one specifically policing the dog park; however, you can call the BREC security, Baton Rouge Animal Control, or the police. Picnic area There are two slabs covered with picnic tables

Great dog park with friendly regulars. My dog loves it. The actual park is well kept and spacious. Sometimes they are out of doggy bags, but that is understandable. There is a big "pond" in the center that they should think about filling or just making it into a proper pond. It is just an indentation of clay that gets really nasty after rain and the dogs love to roll in it and get stinky. Brec should also consider installing dog washes like the ones at the car wash. Just a little stand alone building with soap dispensers, spray nozzle, dryer, and vacuum. Of course they could charge for that, but I would pay for it, especially when I forget my dog shampoo. As of now they have a hose you can use, which is fantastic.
