At BREC headquarters on Florida Blvd. at Ardenwood. 5:00 p.m. Be there and voice your opinion (2-minute limit) if you value golf at City Park and in Baton Rouge generally.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I looked it up. AI generated so take it with a grain of salt.
The BREC Commission met on September 24, 2026, to review the final master plan recommendations from Sasaki Associates for City-Brooks Community Park.
The commission did not vote to implement, approve, or deny the plan; instead, the meeting served to formally accept that the master plan document was completed and move the process forward.
Key details from the process include:
No Implementation Vote: BREC Vice Commission Chair Wade Evans clarified that the September 24 vote was solely to acknowledge the completion of the planning phase, not to commit to the proposed changes.
Plan Scope: The Sasaki proposal outlines a $100 million investment over 15–20 years, featuring a shortened golf course, expanded green space, new pathways, and a proposed nonprofit conservancy for governance.
Next Steps: BREC Superintendent Brooks Williams noted the commission can select specific elements of the plan rather than accepting it entirely. A final decision on implementation or specific components is not expected until October.
Public Input: The plan followed a final public meeting on September 17, where residents expressed concerns over costs and changes to the historic golf course.
Puff Piece on Peters who is a force of change to City Park.

That is a good summary of what I saw streaming online. I read that puff piece on Jenni Peters and noted that she didn't even mention City Park.

Can confirm they voted to accept the plan. But its such a ridiculous sum of money, I doubt it ever goes anywhere.
Public needs to maintain pressure on leaving the golf course alone, though. Most of the people who spoke at the meeting were supportive of leaving the golf course as is but improving other areas.
Not sure who is behind the golf course changes or why, but it doesn't seem to have a lot of public support.

This is the answer. Keep the momentum to leave the Course alone and improve all the other areas instead. There is too much other work to be done instead of destroying the historic golf course,
