Bayou Bend Fitness Center

11/10/2025

One week ago, we celebrated the ribbon cutting and official opening of our brand new 400-meter outdoor track and 2 tennis/8 pickleball courts. We could not have asked for a more beautiful day to launch our new outdoor offerings!

Our track and courts provide the community with a safe place to walk, run, and play with lighting and cameras on both. Soon, we will add on a pavilion and outdoor restrooms as additional amenities. Big thanks to McKnight Landscape Architects and Manuel Commercial for seamlessly working with us to create these spaces!

We would like to thank the following:
•St. Mary Chamber of Commerce for making this ribbon cutting possible.
• Rev. Dr. Allen R. Randle, Sr. and Fr. Joel Faulk for blessing us and our grounds.
•Stephanie Guidry, Bayou Bend Health System CEO; Senator Bret Allain; Mayor Eugene Foulcard; and the rest of the Board of Commissioners for making this possible.
•Kirstine Campbell, General Manager and fearless leader of Bayou Bend Fitness Center for keeping everything running smoothly and for making every day a healthy day.
•The staff of Bayou Bend Fitness Center for always ensuring that our members are happy, comfortable, and educated.
•Everyone in the community who came out to celebrate with us and all the members who make Bayou Bend Fitness Center a success.
