In my last post I blogged about Sam Houston Jones State Park. In that blog post I mentioned the Millennium Park in Lake Charles, LA. Only one word describes this park ......Awesome!




The park is located on the Lake Charles Civic Center Property and is completely surrounded by an aesthetic fence. There is only one entrance in and out.

We had been to this park a few years back but were unaware that an arsonist had burned it down. I know that is hard to believe but it is true. The main structure in the park was so big it was actually a target of an arsonist.

The good news is that they rebuilt the park better than before and added a splash pad  full of water stations.

As you enter the park the eyes will feast on several activities for small children as well as your average 12 year old. There are swings, monkey bars, seesaws, slides, bridges, a pirate ship with its on slides, a structure with a two story slide and so much more.

As you move further into the Millennium Park you begin to see the splash pad. There are approximately 14 water stations to cool you off and both children and parents will enjoy. As a parent you may not want to get wet so there are park benches with mesh canopies to help you get out of the sun while you enjoy your children's laughter and fun.

There is a nearby clean restroom right on the site. A security officer was in the park the entire time we were present and it is my understanding  he is there as long as the park is open.

Just across the street there are several vendors parked who are selling snacks.

Our kids had a blast at this park. I highly recommend a stop by the Millennium Park if you are in the area or if your up for a trip. There is no cost to play at this great park i
n the heart of Lake Charles, LA.
