About This Trail

Imported description

The Ponchatoula Area Recreation District is a ball field. There are three walking paths in the park. The outer path is a nice walk with plenty of shade. The many signs state that dogs, skateboards, scooters, loud music, alcohol and other unwanted acts are not allowed. The walking path is mostly away from the ball field activities, so you shouldn't have a lot of people setting up chairs on the path. It is a well-kept area and has an indoor walking track at the eastern edge.
