Staying the course

The East Baton Rouge Parish parks and recreation system has rolled out its latest plans for proposed improvements and additions over the next decade — but one thing that will not be changing is the City-Brooks Community Park Golf Course.

Last year, an effort was launched asking BREC to transform the 100-acre, nine-hole golf course into a “central park” that can be more widely used by Baton Rouge residents. But BREC Superintendent Carolyn McKnight, who has been publicly making the rounds presenting the agency’s latest construction priorities, told The Advocate this week that she had no intention of changing the historic golf course into a less restrictive park space.
