Walker offers natural beauty, from river bends to dark skies
Pleasant days and starry nights await in Walker, Louisiana. It’s one of only two cities in Livingston Parish and was founded in the 1820s. Originally called Milton Old Field, the town’s name was changed to Walker in 1890. Located in the pine woods near the twisting Amite River and some 20 miles east of Baton Rouge, Walker has a small urban core. But it stretches far beyond that to embrace open, rural land. There’s so little light pollution on the outskirts of town that a national observatory makes its home there, as it scans the skies, catching glimpses of what lies beyond the Milky Way.
Parks and green spaces in Walker give you a serene connection with nature.

Local schools that support athletes, artists and college-prep
Students have their choice of schools in Walker itself or throughout the parish as a whole. Walker Elementary educates children while empowering them. The school is growing quickly with new classes being added for prekindergarten, second, third and fifth grades. Walker Junior High participates in the State Library of Louisiana’s Young Reader’s Choice Awards and helps make the journey to high school easier.

It also has a visual arts department teaching ceramics, game animation and art history courses.

Outdoor spots to walk the dog, fish, and play sports
In the more urban part of Walker, those craving the outdoors can venture to Sidney Hutchinson Park. The green space is centrally located and surrounded by a 1.2-mile walking trail that travels around the perimeter of the park. The path is dog-friendly and has a few spots where furry companions can run off-leash. The space also has a large lagoon stocked with fish like rainbow trout. Visitors can cast their lines from the footbridge spanning the waterway while watching ducks and geese paddle in and around the pond. In addition, the park has baseball diamonds for summertime games and Challenger Field for players with disabilities.
Sidney Hutchinson Park features a state of the art baseball field.

Walker’s observatory connects science lovers to the cosmos
One of the most unique features of the Walker area is the LIGO Livingston Observatory. One of four sites working in conjunction to detect gravitational waves in space, the station’s sister site is located over 3,000 kilometers away in Hanford, Washington. Gravitational waves can signal the birth or death of a star as well as when stars collide. The public can learn more about what these waves mean on the first Saturday of every month when the observatory opens to the community by appointment. There are over 50 interactive exhibits in the Science Education Center for young and old to explore in this remote area of Livingston Parish.
