Buildings Closed
During this difficult time for East Baton Rouge Parish, BREC is doing its part to help limit the spread of COVID-19, by closing all fitness centers, recreation centers, and special use facilities such as the Baton Rouge Zoo and Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center. The BREC administrative building is also closed to the public. BREC leadership is working closely with local, state, and federal officials and anticipates these closures to remain in effect until April 13 and potentially longer if necessary.
Parks Remain Open
As medical officials agree that being outdoors is one of the best places to be right now, BREC's 180+ parks remain open to visitors. We ask that you visit in groups of less than ten people, that you practice social distancing and bring hand sanitizer or wipes so you can follow CDC safety guidelines. BREC's maintenance staff is continually sanitizing all high touch surfaces such as playgrounds, outdoor fitness equipment, benches and bathrooms.
