Friends of Palmetto and Latanier Dutch Oven Cookers are hosting Vermilion Parish's first responders for a fun filled day at 

Palmetto Island State Park.

Additional Information

 The Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation & Tourism, Office of State Parks (State Parks) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit any and all project ideas that could benefit the State Parks system, and, as a result, the citizens of and visitors to Louisiana. The objectives in soliciting information are to promote the State Parks mission, achieve proper balance of preservation and utilization of State Parks Properties while becoming more financially self-sustaining, and better serve the needs of citizens and of visitors to Louisiana through collaboration utilizing Public-Private Partnerships.

The RFI packet, which includes a timeline, instructions for proposal submission, and selection criteria, is available at: www.opportunitiesinlouisiana.com . It may also be picked up between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays at the Office of State Park, Capitol Annex, Third Floor, 1051 North Third Street, Baton Rouge, LA, 70802. Written Proposals must be received by State Parks at this address no later than 4:00 p.m. CT on Friday, October 22, 2021.

State Parks will continue its commitment to ensure all projects promote our mission statement, have community support, and support of local and state elected officials. State Parks also commits to not proceed with any projects that will be detrimental to the local community or any local business.

All inquiries concerning the RFI should be submitted in writing to agil@crt.la.gov

Playground for Teens

Boy Scout Terrence Decuire has raised the money for his Eagle Scout project and installed the playground. He chose Palmetto Island State Park to be the recipient of a rope climbing playground for older kids. He accepted donations, sold concessions at park events and sold 20 oz insulated Swamp Gear cups to raise money for the project.  They came in a variety of colors and were etched with Palmetto Island State Park on them. 

Congratulations Terrence!

  


Splash Pad Open All Year

The splash pad is open Tuesday thru Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
