A permit has been granted for construction to begin on a new 15,400-square-foot community center at BREC’s Howell Community Park in north Baton Rouge.
Construction is expected to cost nearly $7.5 million and will include a swimming pool and bathhouse. Extensive parking renovations, stormwater management and landscaping is also planned for the property, according to the permit.
The new recreational center and swimming pool is expected to be completed in spring 2022.

The improvements are the latest for the park, which has undergone several changes in the last few years as part of its master plan revealed in September 2015. The BREC commission voted unanimously in November 2015 to repurpose the golf course into a community park.
