The Circus-Themed Playground In Louisiana Is The Stuff Of Childhood Dreams

Kiroli Park in West Monroe offers diverse playgrounds and outdoor activities for families and children of all abilities.

West Monroe's Kiroli Park has been a favorite spot for outdoor adventure for over 30 years. Since opening in 1980, the 150-acre park has grown into one of the most scenic parks in Louisiana featuring an endless list of attractions the entire family can enjoy, including one of the most incredible dog parks in the state. In addition to the fishing ponds, nature trails, and gardens, one of the most popular attractions at Kiroli Park is the playground. Let's check it out:

Kiroli Park's playgrounds aren't your average community park fixtures.

There are actually a few different playgrounds here, and they were specifically built for different age groups and abilities.

The circus-themed playground with bold colors and rubber flooring will quickly become your kid's favorite place to play.

Don't you wish your childhood playground looked like this?

The playgrounds were developed to make sure kids have sensory areas, activity zones, and even a music area.

Pappadeaux’s Playground is specifically designed for the youngest kids.

Your toddler will have a blast exploring this miniature "neighborhood" where they can go in and out of each house.

This particular playground is reserved for kids that are ages six months to four years old, so you won't have to worry about older kids trampling the tiny tots.

These playgrounds were designed for kids with different abilities, encouraging everyone to "play as one."

Between the bright colors and the whimsical theme, you'll find yourself wishing you were a kid again so you can play, too!

Entrance to Kiroli Park is only $1 per person and it's open seven days a week.

You can also purchase a membership so you can visit as often as you'd like! Visit Kiroli Park's Facebook page for more information. For even more epic adventures, check out Gators and Friends, an alligator park, petting zoo, and adventure zone where you can zip line over a live alligator pond!
