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.

WARD 3’s COMMITMENT TO ADVANCED TRAINING IN SWIM INSTRUCTION REMAINS UNPARALLELED

Every community needs champions who refuse to accept drowning as an inevitable statistic — and here in Southwest Louisiana, where drowning rates remain among the highest in the nation, that mission becomes personal. That’s why having Billy, a seasoned American Red Cross WSIT from Texas, leading our instructor training is more than a professional development opportunity. It’s a statement.

At Ward 3 Recreation, we are the face of progress and intervention. We’re not waiting for change — we’re creating it. By hosting this training, we’re building a local network of certified water safety leaders who will teach, protect, and empower our residents for years to come.

This is how prevention looks.
This is how community leadership sounds.
This is how lives are saved.

And this is how Ward 3 Recreation continues to rise as a model for what proactive, community‑driven water safety truly means.
