Community Affairs

Community Centers are open to the public Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM and Saturday from 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM.

All centers are closed on Sundays.

Below is the schedule of user fees for reserving a Community Center for a function or special event:

1. Events held at a Community Center from Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and Saturday, 11:00 AM to 7:30 PM, cost $25.00 per hour.

2. The renter’s hourly reservation must include time for event setup and takedown.

3. A $75.00 refundable cleanup deposit is required for all events. This deposit must be paid and submitted with the Reservation Agreement prior to the event date. For the reservation to be complete, all forms must be signed by both the renter and a center employee.

4. Events that exceed the reserved time will incur an additional charge of $25.00 per hour. This fee will be deducted from the renter’s cleanup deposit.

5. Renters will receive an original receipt and a copy of the signed rental reservation reflecting full payment of all fees. If the renter does not receive an original receipt or a signed rental reservation agreement, they should contact the Administrative Office at 318-329-3394 or the Director of Community Centers at 318-539-8093.

6. Employees are prohibited from accepting anything of economic value (including money, favors, or gifts), soliciting organizations or patrons for money, or accepting tips, as outlined in the Louisiana Code of Governmental Ethics. Violations of this policy will result in the termination of the employee.

Note: Rental fees may be negotiated for long-term or recurring events.
