PARC ADJUSTS RECREATION CENTER PROGRAMMING MONDAY & TUESDAY DUE TO FREEZING WEATHER
Lafayette, LA - Lafayette Consolidated Government's Parks, Arts, Recreation, and Culture Department (PARC) has cancelled all scheduled programming at PARC recreation centers on Monday and Tuesday (before 1:00 p.m.) due to forecasted freezing temperatures. Regular recreation center programming will resume on Tuesday from 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (pending weather conditions).
The Dupuis Recreation Center will serve as a warming shelter in coordination with the Lafayette Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (OHSEP) beginning Saturday, January 24. As a result, all programming at the Dupuis Recreation Center this weekend has been moved. Basketball games previously scheduled on Saturday have been relocated to the Martin Luther King Recreation Center (309 Cora Street).
PARC appreciates the community's understanding as facilities are temporarily repurposed to support public safety during this cold weather event.
