Sandy Creek Community Park - Improvements
BREC "Imagine Your Parks" Strategic Plan called for a Community-Level park to be placed in the Northeast portion of East Baton Rouge Parish. After an intensive land study, BREC acquired approximately 400 acres on March 11, 2011 from several landowners in the northeast part of Parish. This land acquisition was the final Community Park site that BREC needed to acquire for the Imagine Your Parks Plan. Twelve Community Parks are being developed. Nine from existing parks and three from newly acquired land, all of which are being or have been converted to BREC Community Parks.
Sandy Creek Community Park will serve the northeast part of the parish, but will have a regional draw. Ideas for the park include an equestrian theme, complete with horse trails, and a community playground and trails for mountain bike riding. Other amenities will be determined with public input during the master planning process.
