Janet Simmons from BREC joins the show to unpack a busy season for Baton Rouge’s parks and recreation. While personnel investigations limit what can be shared about recent headlines, Simmons emphasizes strong protocols and leadership continuity. Beyond the news, BREC is rolling out a packed holiday calendar: Zoo Lights, Rain Dog Run, Sensory Santa, Creole Christmas at Magnolia Mound, and the snowy spectacle at Perkins Road. Families can expect camps, art pop-ups, and festive community events all December long. Simmons also reveals plans to sell underused parkland and reassess rec centers, ensuring resources are focused on building better, more vibrant spaces for the future.
