Phase 1 development will be focused within the front 60 acres of the new 100-acre park property. Pre-construction mobilization can be seen currently on the park property and the orange tree protection fencing has been put in place in order to guard the natural beauties. Water quality protection fencing has also been put in place in order to reduce any run offs which might go into the coulee that runs through the park during construction.
While access will be limited, all efforts will be made for the weekly Lafayette Farmers & Artisans Market to continue as scheduled on Saturday mornings. A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for March 27 at 5:30 pm under the Live Oak Grove along Johnston Street. All are encouraged to attend! Parking will be limited, additional parking is available in the South College Center parking lot.
Information about the ceremony and updates on construction will be posted on both the park’s website and Facebook page.

MONCUS PARK MASTER PLAN “We are excited to be partnering with Trahan Construction to build Phase 1 of Moncus Park. They have a lot of park construction experience, and recently completed both of the new parks in Youngsville and Broussard. Even though we won’t have sports fields like those parks, we are positive that they’ll bring their professionalism and expertise to our project as well,” says Lenny Lemoine, the Chairman of LCP. Troy Trahan, President of Trahan Construction, based in Lake Arthur, LA, says, “We consider it an honor to be selected to work with the Moncus Park Board of Directors and staff, as well as the architects and engineers, to bring this project to life. We are excited and looking forward to breaking ground.”
