Nature And Art Combine At Leesville Art Park In Louisiana

Small towns are often the keepers of some of the most incredible hidden gems in the state. They’re always hiding the best restaurants, the most unique museums, and the most wonderful attractions that are fun for the whole family. Leesville is one of those charming small towns in Louisiana that you may never have heard of, but it’s home to one of the most creative parks in Louisiana, and the whole family will love it.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

The perfectly manicured green space has a paved walkway that will take you throughout the park, and you’ll be able to pause here and there to check out the various sculptures and artwork in the park.

There are interpretive signs peppered throughout, so you’ll learn about the art including how it was made, who it’s dedicated to, and when it was installed.

Both kids and adults will have a blast playing a little impromptu jam while learning about different sounds and music.
For the perfect Leesville day, be sure to swing by Fatboy & Skinny's, about a mile and a half away from the park.
