WATER PLAYGROUND WILL REPLACE POOL: Chicot State Park will open a new water playground for the summer 2013 season. The playground, designed by Ackal Architects of Lafayette and built by True Construction of Jennings, includes tumble buckets, water cannons, fountains, aqua domes, a pavilion and bathrooms. The $695,000 project replaces the existing 40-plus-year-old swimming pool, which had been subject to water leaks that adversely impacted area water pressure. In addition to the pool’s increasing repair needs, new ADA requirements would demand upgrades that would be cost-prohibitive.
The water playground will be the newest feature at Chicot State Park which includes the Louisiana State Arboretum, vacation cabins, campsites, lodges, a group camp and more than 20 miles of nature trails. The park, located six miles north of Ville Platte on La. Hwy. 3042, is situated on more than 6,000 acres of rolling hills and around a 2,000-acre reservoir. The park is open daily from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, visit http://www.LaStateParks.com or call 888.677.2442.
CABINS WIL BE CLOSED FOR REPAIRS: Fifteen deluxe cabins at Chicot State Park will close for construction to correct structural issues. The cabins will be unavailable beginning Sept. 6 and the project will require at least seven months to complete. The park's five standard cabins will remain available during the project.
