Formerly known as Pontchartrain Park, the McBurnett Knox Playground has been a place of safe sport and play for many years.
The park was renamed in its recent years in honor of McBurnett “Mac” Knox Jr., a man who served the neighborhood for over forty years. He was the first to bring organized team sports to the playground, bringing together kids of all ages to participate in baseball, softball, basketball, football, and track and field initiatives.
All of the amenities available are completely open to the public and include off-street parking, fenced playground with modern equipment, lighted baseball fields, outdoor basketball courts, and several tennis courts.
