Riverside Park will be temporarily closed to the general public beginning Monday, December 7, to allow a contractor to repair the slop along the embankment of the river, according to Matt Young with the City of Lake Charles.

Riverside Park is located on the west end of Fitzenreiter Road along the Calcasieu River. The temporary closure is expected to last for approximately thirty working days, said Young.
