BROUSSARD, La. (KLFY) — The Broussard City Council will spend $8,950,000 for a new tennis court, pickleball facility, veterans memorial and parking lot to be built at the Broussard Sports Complex at St. Julien Park.

The tennis/pickleball facility will be an addition to the eight existing tennis courts by adding 24
pickleball courts, a concession stand, a pro shop and an elevated balcony. A total of 16 of the 24 pickleball courts will be covered, with overhead fans and lighting.

The veterans memorial will sit on the north side of the park, overlooking a proposed pond. The memorial will honor six military branches by incorporating historical plaques, multiple flags, seating and an engraved brick tile walkway.

Broussard Mayor Ray Bourque said providing a high quality of life for Broussard residents is one of the city’s top priorities.

“I’m pleased that the city council voted to approve the funding for this important project as another significant investment in our community,” Bourque said.

“We are excited to have this project moving forward,” said Broussard Parks and
Recreation Director Jamey Abshire. “We are proud to provide more for people to use and
enjoy as we continue to expand the park.”
