I love this park!!! It has everything u need to bring the family together. Football field, basketball court, soccer field, baseball field, running track that goes around the football field and if your lucky u can either go swimming inside or they someti.es have the little water park on for the smaller kids. Coach james is the head football coach for the junior bears and that man is amazing with the at risk youth young men that come to play with him. I absolutely love how he treats each child and builds them up to be better young men in their own communities. If your ever in the area take a walk around. There is a farmer's market that comes on Wednesday! Great fresh fruit and granola!!!

I actually like the park. Most of the staff members are friendly, but there is one in particular that seems to do nothing. Each and every time I came to the park to pick up my children she was on the phone instead of watching the children. Even if watching the children wasn't her job she was always on the phone having a personal conversation.

  • Joey McMullan

Lafollette Park is a beautiful city park for young children and adults. This wonderful community park provides plenty of recreational activities and opportunities. Sporting activities and events for children. Wellness activities for adults and children at the Field house. I recommend this nice and clean park to the public.

  • Ashlee

Its a good place to go when I leave the house, I could sit at the bench Just listen to music chill for a bit or watch people play, I could play basketball, take my little step brothers and sis out and play, they have a soccer field. Just moved and I really like the park .

  • Victor Batie

When I first encountered Lafollette Park, we were using the field house for the home of our church. This is where I encountered "R Kelly" holding court with groups of very young and impressed young girls! What a predator! He's right where he should be!

  • Raeshawnda Miller

Absolutely horrible. There was glass everywhere even where the kids play. Ppl smoking weed right on the play ground. That's crazy kids can play and be kids. The dirtiest park I've ever seen. So not recommend until they do what they suppose to do.

  • Tierra Howard

No one dies in this park ive been living on west Crystal street my entire life and no one has died now it does has it ups and downs but only at night but no deaths and marijuana is not a drug so no drugs in the park just herbs :-) :-) :-)

  • Laura Pereda (Dokuritsu)

Park is well-maintained for people. Not so much for dogs. There's always a bunch of glass scattered at sidewalks or entrances so be careful of your dogs paws. Sidewalk on Lavergne is destroyed and very difficult to walk upon.

  • AMEGA LEE

I've only been here 3 times. I remember the inside being nice a couple of years ago. However, this visit was due to a football game. It was a very wet & cold day, but we were still there to cheer them on.

  • Regaldo Howard

Best place to go to go swimming and do everything you want to do is stay off the streets I grew up around the volleypark I've been there for a long time and always go there to go swimming

  • Nick Parks

Lafollette Park I have nothing but good things to say about this park. I've been coming to Lafollette all my life since about around 1978.To me I think all kids should at least visit.

  • Victoria Davis

Very nice park. You can tell the park district keeps not clean. They have an excellent football field. The park is located in a neighborhood. It has a indoor bathroom for visitors.

  • Claudette Johnson

It's a neighborhood park, that has improved tremendously with updated equipment that encourages safety for the children and promotes opportunities in sports and other activities...

The park was nicer than I expected, clean and plenty of space to watch a concert or event. The basketball court upstairs has seating on the side to watch the game.
