"The things that they're doing at the park is absolutely fabulous, it is going to be something fantastic," said Raymond.
Raymond says the park will attract more people and help local businesses moving forward.
"Come support all the local businesses, this is bringing businesses into Breaux Bridge. Yes we want it in the restaurant too, but we also have other businesses here. Once you come to Breaux Bridge you will be back," said Raymond.
The project is expected to be completed at the beginning of 2024.
