Confirmed from Nose 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.
Waterfront amusement area with a playground and picnic tables, along with a fishing pier.
What runners say about Nose Park
“Its always clean and tons of grass for him to run through.”
“My son loves that area to just sit in the shade and play or throw sticks in the water :) beautiful park, go check it out, but keep it beautiful!”
“I love spending time here it's so peaceful definitely a place to get your mind right”
“Nose Park is great for walking the dogs ,getting exercise, playing with the grandkids and fishing, but not if you need the bathroom.”
Great park! I love bringing my 19 month old here. He likes it more than the bogafayla wayside park, and so do I! My mom lives nearby so it's convenient. It's smaller and he remembers the entire park and where to go. It's more secluded.Its always clean and tons of grass for him to run through.
Nose park is a very pleasant, quaint and quiet place to relax. There is a nice pier to walk and fish from off of the Tchefuncte river, and a playground with a walking path around the entirety of the park.
Although this is a really small park, the scenery is very beautiful. The pavilion definitely gives off a nature vibe to the point that it doesn’t even feel like Louisiana! I enjoyed my time walking around Nose Park while I was in Covington.
Great little spot to walk the dogs, let the kids play and check on the bayou.
