A cleaner park starts with the little things.

Thanks to funding from the Keep Louisiana Beautiful Grant, Chappapeela Sports Park is now home to five brand-new trash receptacles! These additions will help keep our park cleaner, more welcoming, and ready for the thousands of athletes, families, and visitors who enjoy it each year.

A big thank you to Keep Louisiana Beautiful for helping us continue to make our park a place our community can be proud of 💙
