Ward 3 Recreation is aware of an incident that occurred in the parking lot of the Ward 3 Power Center on Thursday, June 5th.  Earlier that afternoon, an altercation took place between two groups, at a separate location in Lake Charles. When law enforcement was contacted regarding that situation, the individuals involved left that location, entered their vehicles, and drove to the Power Center parking lot, where the dispute continued.

It is important to clarify that this incident did not involve any Ward 3 Recreation patrons, programs, or activities, and did not occur inside any Ward 3 facility. The safety of our community members is our highest priority, and at no point were our guests or staff part of the altercation.  

Ward 3 Recreation will continue to cooperate fully with local law enforcement and remains committed to providing safe, welcoming, and family‑focused environments across all of our facilities.
