Confirmed from Acadiana Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
City park with disc golf, picnic tables, a playground, basketball and tennis courts, and soccer fields, plus a nature station.
What runners say about Acadiana Park
A variety of options which include: soccer fields, trail walks, disc golf, basketball courts, and a park playground this place has something for everyone at a cheap price. Free!
Outstanding trails, tennis courts are nice, could probably do with another basketball court. Children's playground available.
Wonderful trails and honestly just a nice place to be around nature more. The showers/restrooms could be cleaner and have better temp control but other than that it's a wonderful stay. Also there is wifi but only by the office. The signal doesn't reach even the closest lots.
Quality outdoor (5) tennis courts, bike trails, soccer field, b-ball court: Beautiful open outdoor space. Adding today that the recently well-constructed addition of the walkway track heightens the experience.
