The Calcasieu Parish
Police Jury completed construction last summer of a
new air-conditioned pavilion at White Oak Park,
5584 River Road, northeast of Lake Charles (Take
Exit 36 (Cameron/Creole) off of I-10, go north until
River Road, then turn right).
The project’s architect
is David Brossett, AIA, of Lake Charles, who states
that the pavilion was designed in an Acadian style,
and includes features that blend in with the
character of the park. These include a spacious
porch, rustic window shutters and door handles,
Acadian style roof, and others features.
Police Juror Calvin
Collins states, “This pavilion sets a higher
standard for designing future park pavilions, and
should be popular with local citizens and visitors.
We encourage the public to visit White Oak Park,
which is a beautiful setting for family
get-togethers and other events.”
The pavilion is
approximately 2,700 square feet in size, and can
handle events for up to 125 people. The pavilion is
available for
rent at a cost of $300 per day (plus $100
refundable clean-up fee). Since its opening, it has
been used for receptions, parties, company
trainings, and other events.
White Oak Park also has
camper sites, picnic tables, and a boat launch. For
information on the pavilion or other park amenities,
please contact the Police Jury at 437-3310. |
