The Broussard City Council unanimously approved a transformative $8.95 million investment that will further enhance the Broussard Sports Complex at St. Julien Park. This exciting development includes the construction of a state-of-the-art tennis and pickleball facility, a Veterans Memorial, and expanded parking to accommodate the growing number of families, athletes, and visitors who enjoy the complex.
The new facility will bring even more opportunities for recreation and competition, with multiple covered courts that ensure year-round play, a modern pro shop, and an elevated observation deck where spectators can enjoy a clear view of the action. The space is designed to host everything from casual games to tournaments and community events, further strengthening Broussard’s reputation as a family-friendly community and establishing St. Julien Park as a destination for both residents and visitors across Acadiana.
In addition to expanding sports opportunities, the project will include a Veterans Memorial dedicated to honoring the courage, sacrifice, and service of military veterans. This striking addition will provide a place for reflection, remembrance, and community gatherings on important occasions such as Veterans Day and Memorial Day. It represents the City’s deep respect for those who have served and its commitment to creating spaces that connect past, present, and future generations.
Recognizing the park’s growing popularity, the City Council also prioritized additional parking as part of the investment. The expanded parking will improve accessibility and convenience, making it easier for families and visitors to enjoy all that St. Julien Park has to offer without concern.
This project reflects Broussard’s vision for growth and quality of life, blending recreation, family, and remembrance into a shared community experience. With the leadership of Mayor Ray Bourque and the City Council, the City continues to build on its identity as not only a great place to live and raise a family, but also as a regional destination for sports and community life. The future of Broussard is bright, and these exciting new additions at St. Julien Park are a testament to the City’s dedication to progress, unity, and honoring tradition.
