About Murdock Park

Conveniently located in the middle of the city, Murdock Park occupies 39 acres of urban forest. Featured is a 0.52-mile interpretive trail that allows visitors to identify nearly 40 varieties of trees located within the park. The sled run is a favorite wintertime attraction in Lafayette, entertaining kids and adults alike. Katy’s Cabin provides sled rentals, hot chocolate, and other concessions. A snow machine ensures that the perfect amount of white powder is available when cold temperatures prevail. Other attractions include tot and multi-age playgrounds, a redesigned 18-hole disc golf course, Brian Cardinal basketball court, grills, restrooms, and picnic areas. Two 50-seat picnic shelters are available to rent.
