About the Venue

This play area at Moncus Park is one of Lafayette's strongest public options for mixed-age family outings because it combines an inclusive playground, accessible treehouse, splash play, and broad park amenities in one place. The Ochsner Lafayette General inclusive playground uses nature-inspired structures and interactive pieces on custom rubber groundcover, with separate areas for younger and older children plus swings. Families also get access to smooth paved paths, ADA-accessible parking and restrooms, picnic areas, and the Savoy Family Treehouse with an ADA boardwalk ramp. It works especially well for longer outings, though parking is paid most days.
