Also known as City Park, this Mid-City masterpiece features a 9 hole golf course, an art museum, a bunch of tennis courts, a dog park, croquet court(s?) under construction, a children's museum, and two small lakes. Both lakes feature a beach area where kayaks can be rented. If it's the right time of year, the smaller lake attracts migrating white pelicans -- they're very cool to watch. The rest of the year you can see cormorants, egrets, blue herons, and ducks (domestic and wild). During the Mardi Gras season, you might catch a glimpse of the elusive Spanish Town flamingos. They arrive at night and rarely stay past morning. If you see one, make sure to try to catch it. They are highly desirable. If you're in BR for a visit, make sure to check out City Park. It's cool.

This park is really nice to visit year-round. There are many components of this main Brec City-Brooks park. In addition to the city park there is an attached dog park, nice tennis facility, and a contemporary arts museum. Also, the parks are all really kept up and maintained well. Another plus is that the location in mid-city is great, the area is relatively safe. They oftentimes have free events going on such as the recent Arts in the Park with added free museum admission.

This historical layout is my favorite municiple course for a round in a rush .Great walking course with interesting scenery & wildlife that is in as good of shape as its ever been.
