 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.
