We’re always on the hunt for exciting places to feature that you don’t typically see everyday, and this certainly fits the profile. Perkins Road Community Park is an extreme-sports complex that you’d have to see to believe.

BREC’S Perkins Road Community Park is perhaps one of the most visited parks in Baton Rouge, and there’s a good reason.

Climbers must be at least 9 years old for this, but for $5 you can get a day pass and give it your best shot. Think you can make it to the top? Rock Climbing classes are offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you’re looking to improve on your skills.

Weather permitting, the track is free if you have a link and a helmet, but it’s only $4 if you’d like to rent a bike and give it a go. Just keep in mind a rainy day could keep the park closed for a day or two until it dries out.
