Active Places

Physical activity can be done anywhere, anytime! Activate your mind and muscles by heading to one of the many parks in Baton Rouge. Visit BREC and the YMCA to see the numerous locations for participating in indoor and outdoor activities.

As part of his Healthy BR initiative, Mayor-President Melvin L. 'Kip' Holden, along with BREC and LSU, will triple the amount of bike facilities within the next year. More information can be found on the Bike Facility Improvements flyer and map.

Physical activity and healthy eating go hand-in-hand. Rather than jumping on the latest fad diet bandwagon, focus on eating everything in moderation.
