Youngsville, Broussard building sports parks

BROUSSARD, La. (AP) - Plans are still in development for new parks in the neighboring cities of Broussard and Youngsville in Lafayette Parish after voters approved last year sales taxes to fund recreation facilities in the two cities.

The city of Youngsville is in the design phase of its planned sports complex, which will feature five baseball fields, four softball fields, six full-size soccer fields, 10 tennis courts, and covered pavilions in the first phase of the project. The city plans to build the complex on 70 acres of donated land.
