If you’re cruisin’ around LA (that’s Louisiana, not Los Angeles—get it right, y’all 😎) and you’re lookin’ for a sweet spot to park it, recharge, or just vibe with some lakeside views, Laketown Park in Metairie is the move. Sitting right at the edge of Lake Pontchartrain, this spot is a local favorite that somehow still flies under the radar of out-of-towners, which is wild ‘cause it’s literally packed with cool stuff to do, chill space to spread out, and jaw-dropping sunsets that’ll make you forget all about your phone’s notifications

• 🌅 Views for Days: The lake views here are top-tier—especially when golden hour hits. Whether you’re posting up on a bench or catching the breeze from the docks, that water + sky combo is straight-up therapy

• 🛶 Boat Launch & Pier Access: Got a boat? Laketown’s got you covered with easy access ramps and fishing piers. Don’t have a boat? No problem—just grab a folding chair and watch the pros reel in reds and specks

• 🚲 Biking & Blading Friendly: There’s a paved path perfect for cycling, rollerblading, or just power walking while you sip a coffee. Gig workers, this is your “mid-shift cardio” zone

• 🎣 Fishing Spot Approved: Locals swear by the fishing game here—especially at the breakwall. No license needed for saltwater fishing in Louisiana, so bring your tackle box and cast away

• 🎶 Live Music Vibes: On weekends, you might catch a local band jammin’ at the nearby Bucktown Harbor or events at the park's stage area—free music under the stars? Don’t mind if we do

• 🧺 Picnic-Perfect Setup: Covered picnic areas, barbecue grills, and plenty of shade mean you can pack a lunch and make a day of it. Pro tip: grab takeout from Short Stop Poboys (119 Transcontinental Dr—like 7 mins away) and feast like a local

• 🚗 Easy Parking & Chill Access: Unlike a lot of parks, parking here is not a nightmare. Plenty of spots, free access, and a layout that makes it easy to roll in and out—even if you’re rollin’ with deliveries in between

• 🐶 Pet-Friendly & Fam-Friendly: Bring the kids, bring the dog, bring your grandma—this park is open to everyone. The vibe is mellow, the people are friendly, and the air? Crisp and salty like a good bag of Zapp’s

• 🛻 Near Everything: You’re just a quick hop from Lakeside Shopping Center, Treasure Chest Casino, and Jefferson Parish boat tours if you’re lookin’ for a little adventure before or after your lake day

Whether you’re out there knockin’ out gigs or just need to pull over and recharge your body and your soul, Laketown Park’s got the laid-back magic only Louisiana can deliver. No big crowds, no nonsense—just good vibes, water views, and all the space you need to breathe.
