Lafayette Consolidated Government breaks ground on new Thomas Park tennis courts
LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- If you like playing tennis, here is some good news for you.
Lafayette Consolidated Government broke ground today on Phase II of the Thomas Park Tennis Courts project.
Mayor-President Monique Boulet joined City Councilwoman Liz Hebert, Interim PARC Director Brian McGrath, and members from the Acadiana Community Tennis Association to celebrate the start of construction.
“These upgrades will expand recreational opportunities and enhance quality of life, keeping Thomas Park a vibrant gathering place for families and players of all ages,” said Boulet.
The $588,000 project, is funded through City Sales Tax and a State Treasury Appropriation, will replace the park’s aging courts with four new, competition-grade tennis courts.
Chase Marshall Architects designed the project, with Geo Surfaces serving as contractor. Construction is expected to take approximately six months.
A public mural installation and exterior updates to the recreation center are also set to begin soon, officials said.
