You must be a La Porte resident to reserve the Seabreeze Park however, guests do not have to be residents of La Porte to attend a reserved event.

Reservations must be made in person at the Parks and Recreation Office located at 1322 South Broadway to reserve the Seabreeze Park for a party of 50 or less.

Due to the various stipulations regarding usage (for example, insurance for jumping apparatus), we do not take phone reservations.
