 Earl K. Long Memorial Park
“I’m the last of the red hot papas
in politics. When I’m gone, there won’t be anymore.”
Such was a favorite saying of Earl Kemp Long, one of the most
colorful
politicians in Louisiana history.
Earl K. Long Memorial Park
is a lasting tribute to Louisiana politics and the "last
of the red hot papas." Enjoy
the park’s picnic pavilion and imagine being a part of
the crowd gathering for a community picnic featuring the
political outpouring of Earl Kemp Long. The park is symmetrical
in design
- from its eight-foot bronze statue of Long at the apex
of a hedged circular walk to its picnic pavilion, and is
a favorite setting for weddings, picnics and city celebrations.
For more information on the Earl K. Long Memorial Park,
