What better way to enjoy a lovely spring afternoon than to sit on a blanket and munch on delicious food? Yes, a picnic in the park is an ideal form of relaxation for the weekend. Of course, don’t forget to bring a friend or two along for conversation and fellowship. If the park allows, you could even consider bringing Fido along too. In this post, we’ll consider five great options for picnic spots not far from our houses for rent in Shreveport LA.
Location is key for picnic success

- Richard Fleming Park is located on the northwest side of Cross Lake, so it’s further away from the downtown area than some of the others mentioned below. However, it’s less than a 30 minute drive and is well-worth the effort. While here, you can take part in fishing on the pier or even cook your picnic meal on the outdoor grills.
- Betty Virginia Park is located just south of the downtown area and near Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport – Academic Medical Center. It’s a sweet little park with picnic tables and a playground. You don’t want to miss this beloved park while you’re here!
- East King’s Highway Park features a serene duck pond that makes for a peaceful setting for picnicking. Check out the wildlife and take a brisk walk before heading back to your condo.
- Columbia Park is known as a dog-friendly park! It’s in the Highland neighborhood of Shreveport.
- Ford Park boasts a cool old train engine, disc golf course and a convenient position right next to Cross Lake.
