The City of Lake Charles Community Services Department is pleased to announce the completion of several projects at local ballfields. 

This off-season maintenance includes the completion of regrading fields at Henry Heights, Nelson Road, College Oaks and Weaver Park. 

At all fields sod was removed and the fields were regraded to allow for proper play and improved drainage. Base cut-outs were reset and new sod, comprised of a higher end grass hybrid to withstand the heat and play, was installed. 

“We continue to make steady progress with upgrading our ballfields citywide,” said Mayor Nic Hunter. “We are committed to taking additional steps to enhance and upgrade these facilities. We want our young athletes to have access to quality play environments and these recently completed projects are just one step we are taking to provide a better recreational experience.”
