Executive Director’s Message As we begin 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on what an incredibly busy and successful year 2025 was for Pelican Park. Over the past year, we welcomed more than 1.2 million vehicles through the gates, representing approximately 3,000,000 visitors, and we proudly served 8,890 registered program participants. These numbers demonstrate how essential Pelican Park is to our Parish. The momentum we experienced throughout 2025 was truly
remarkable. We expanded programs, hosted major tournaments, strengthened partnerships, and made significant improvements to the facilities while enhancing the overall participant experience. Our staff, board members, volunteers, sponsors, community partners, and families who participate in programs and events played a vital role in every success. Their dedication and passion continue to shape Pelican Park into a place where recreation, community, and connection thrive. As we look ahead, I’m excited for the programs, tournaments, and events already scheduled for the first half of 2026. Our focus remains on elevating quality, increasing accessibility, and creating meaningful experiences for participants of all ages. Whether you join us for youth sports, adult leagues, special events, or community celebrations, we are committed to serving you with excellence, professionalism, and pride. Thank you for being part of the Pelican Park family. Together, we will continue building a vibrant, active, and memorable year ahead. Here’s to a strong start to 2026 and to everything we will accomplish as One Park, One Team. Suzanne Fisher Suzanne Fisher Executive Director
