Interactive Water Adventure at Moncus Park, Lafayette 

2901 Johnston Street, Lafayette, LA 70503

Open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The Our Lady of Lourdes 5,100 square foot interactive water feature is centered around a large alligator sculpture staring back at a pirogue play structure. The alligator has “breathing” water arches for its abdomen, and children in the pirogue are so frightened by the alligator stalking them that the boat is shaking, creating “waves” made with custom jets, even though this feature has no standing water. Throughout the large wet deck, another set of custom jets shoot up water that mimic bald cypress “knees.”
