About Us
Voters passed a millage in 1998 to construct and operate a recreation facility in the Folsom
area. On February 14, 2000 the doors of Recreation District # 12 officially opened to the public. The facility, commonly known as Magnolia Park sits on approximately 15 acres and opened
with three baseball / softball fields, one football / soccer field and a multi-purpose
gymnasium. Since the Park opening, many amenities have been added including: a walking
trail, sidewalks, bleacher coverings, playground areas, extensive landscaping, a remote concession / restroom, outdoor fitness area and a splash pad.
In 2025 the Park purchased an additional 10.83 acres that adjoin the current park for future expansion.
Property taxes are the main source of income for the Park however, additional income is generated through rental of the gym, meeting room and fields. Please see the "Rental Information" pages for specific pricing on renting the facility.
The Park is governed by a five member Board of Commissioners, four being appointed by the Parish Council and one being appointed by the Parish President. The current Board consists of:
James Rogers, Chairman
Willie Richardson
Lacey Sharp
Brad Graham
Andrew Mendheim
The Park is managed full time by Jennifer Goings, who was hired in late 1999 to manage the
day to day operations of the facility. The Park has one other full time employee - Dennis
Bourgeois who is the Maintenance Foreman and keeps the park looking so beautiful. Approximately 10 part-time employees also work for the Park in the office, field maintenance and concession operations.
