All pavilions with bathrooms are shutdown due to hurricane damage 2 years ago. Public venues in the county appear to be the last to get repaired after natural disaster.

Several years ago, my first experience with Claiborne West park was because of a planned trip by the ASSET astronomy club to stay late and set up telescopes. The sky was nice and dark and fairly clear for this area, and we thoroughly enjoyed having the use of the site. Claiborne personnel discontinued allowing people in the park after closing time due to some abuses later on, and we have since had to find other places to meet, but the park remains a quiet and beautiful place to come during the day for other activities. I would definitely recommend the frisbee course (print out a map online), and to just come down and spend a quiet morning or afternoon in the beautiful surroundings. I have heard that there was damage to the park during the Harvey flooding, but that they are working to get things back to normal.
