The popular Big Lake at City Park is about to become an even bigger attraction. Construction is scheduled to begin next month on the adjacent Festival Grounds, which will stretch along Wisner Boulevard north of Christian Brothers School toward Interstate 610.
The 50-acre site on a portion of the old South Golf Course -- twice the size of the Big Lake development -- will serve as the future home of the annual Voodoo Festival and, park officials hope, other music and cultural events.
The $4 million project will also feature four soccer fields, a one-mile perimeter path for joggers and bikers that will tie in with Big Lake's walking trail, and a shelter that will be used to host events such as large family reunions and company picnics.
