Baton Rouge Park Facilities And Amenity Inventory

East Baton Rouge Parish parks and recreation facilities operated by the BREC are cataloged, including community centers, golf courses, and the zoo. Amenity columns such as DOG PARK, TENNIS CENTER, and NATURE TRAIL indicate availability with Yes/No values. The dataset was last updated in March 2026 by data.brla.gov.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial equity of amenities like PLAYGROUND and SPLASH PAD across ZIP Codes_from_tqy7_429i or Council Districts_2021_from_d8sa-f3ec.
• Identify parks suitable for specific activities by filtering on columns like DISC GOLF, CANOE KAYAK LAUNCH, or MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL.
• Model facility demand by correlating amenity presence (e.g., PAVILION, FITNESS STATION OUTDOOR) with demographic data from Census 2010 Tracts.

Strengths

• Covers diverse facility types including GOLF COURSE 9 HOLE, STADIUM, and the Baton Rouge Zoo.
• Provides binary (Yes/No) data for over 30 specific amenity columns for clear categorical analysis.

Limitations

• Unknown row count prevents assessment of sample size and coverage completeness.
• Lacks temporal data (e.g., opening dates) to analyze trends in amenity development.
