Ryan Allen Shoup Park, a gem of parks, has nearly 12 acres covered with oak, pecan and cypress trees shadowing a 3 acre lake named Lake Elizabeth. The lake is surrounded by a walking trail, playground with restrooms, pavilions, and home of the Fordoche Community Center.
Community Center Rental
The Fordoche Community Center is just the right size for most occasions. You can have your reception, meeting or party at the center. The center has a seating capacity of 90 (max capacity of 165) in a rowed table(classroom/meeting) setting. With the addition of the pavilion next to the center, our facility is a perfect location for your next family reunion or company gathering. Both the community center and pavilion had outdoor cooking and festivities in mind when designing the layout. Both buildings have outdoor fans, water and many other amenities. Your rental of the community center covers the cost for both facilities.
Recently added for an additional minimal cost is our “Special Event Package”. This package is a must when having that next family or class reunion and company event. The package includes;
- On-site grounds operator. (Rate includes 6 hours)
- Big screen TV, DVD and VCR player.
- Use of air-conditioned concession stand that is part of pavilion.
