Lafitte Park Boardwalk
Abbeville, LA
DIVISION
Southern Constructors proudly completed the Lafitte Park Boardwalk and Fishing Pier in Abbeville, LA, revitalizing a beloved community green space and providing safe, convenient access to outdoor recreation for residents and visitors alike. Working under the City of Abbeville, our team handled the full scope — from demolition and site clearing of the old drive-in structures to pile driving, foundation installation, and construction of a new elevated timber boardwalk. The project also included a new 120-foot-long, 8-foot-wide fishing pier with a spacious 15-foot by 15-foot observation platform, ADA-compliant ramps, paved walking trails, and improved park drainage for long-term safety and durability. Completed in June 2023, just in time for Father’s Day weekend, the new boardwalk and pier offer expanded opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, and community gatherings. This project stands as an example of Southern Constructors’ commitment to delivering thoughtful civil works that strengthen local neighborhoods, enhance accessibility, and enrich the quality of life for families across Vermilion Parish.
