McDonald Park

Donated to the city many, many years ago by one of the city’s oldest family’s, McDonald Park began to give space to local athlete’s as a park to play men’s softball, growing into the city’s first Little League Park, and used for girls softball teams until 2005, when it then became the city’s primary distribution center following Hurricane Katrina. The park has been the scene of cheers and tears and its restoration has been guided by the city’s Recreation Committee made up of volunteers.  In the summer of 2012 McDonald Park became the home to one of the city's most popular attractions for kids of all ages.  The Splash Pad instantly became a hit to cool off during the summer sun.  Along with the Splash Pad, visitors can enjoy the children's play area with slides, a rock wall and bouncers, or relax while having a picnic on the grounds of this revitalized park setting.  Bathroom facilities are also available for visitors convenience.
