Who We Are
Lake Sherwood Acres is a "well-kept secret" of 312 homes located between S. Sherwood Forest and Coursey Boulevards. There are 81 homes built along the shores of a 40 acre lake, as well as 231 homes that are located off the lake. The neighborhood was developed by Victor Coursey in 1974 when this area was considered far out from down town. Part of the draw for this neighborhood is the 25 meter swimming pool and large clubhouse, as well as the many, well maintained green common areas and private lake.
Sherwood Lake Association Purpose
The Sherwood Lake Association Articles of Incorporation state that the association "is a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Louisiana, for the purpose of, among other things, owning, preserving, maintaining and regulation for the use of its members the lake shown on the official plat of Lake Sherwood Acres Subdivision..."
Where are we located?
We are located east of S. Sherwood Forest Boulevard and north of Coursey Boulevard. Click Here for a map of the area and of the actual neighborhood.
Please be aware that the Lake Sherwood Acres Restrictions and Covenants and Baton Rouge City Ordinance No. 10669 passed on August 14, 1996, requires all sellers to furnish the buyers of their property a copy of all deed and building restrictions affecting that property. Additionally, all dues must be paid in full prior to the sale of any property and a written “Paid in Full” Invoice must be presented at the closing. Contact the treasurer well in advance of the closing for a copy of the Invoice.
Progress LSA Moves Forward with Sidewalk Repair Project
After spending over a year surveying the condition of the sidewalks in Lake Sherwood
Acres we are finally at the point where we are ready to move forward with making
the repairs. As a matter of fact, the City has already begun making repairs to the
sections they are responsible for.
Approximately one-hundred and nineteen (119) residents have sidewalks that are damaged
and that they are responsible for repairing. Letters and e-mails were sent to all
119 residents and over half responded by saying they would be willing to participate
in a repair campaign. The contractor your Board has selected is ready to begin contacting
residents and will be going door-to-door to those residents who expressed an interest
in getting the repairs made. The contractor has a list of names, addresses, phone
numbers and photographs of the damaged sections to work from. He also has the list
of residents who declined to participate in the campaign. So, as he goes around
LSA, not only will he contact the residents who said they were interested but he
plans on contacting those who said they were not interested just in case they have
changed their mind. We hope this is not offensive to those who said they were not
interested. So, if he knocks on your door or leaves a flyer at your door let him
know if you are now interested in participating in this campaign.
The contractor selected is Mr. Cal Abbott of Abbott’s Concrete. Please see the attached
flyer he will be handing out as he makes his way around LSA for his contact information. Cal
plans to begin going door-to-door early next week. If you like you may call Cal
direct to let him know you are interested and when is the best time for him to come
by. It’s probably best if you call his cell phone. If you call tell him you are
a resident of Lake Sherwood Acres and interested in having your walks repaired. By
the way, Cal also does driveways, patios and all general concrete work.
Please remember you are not required to use Cal, you can use any contractor you wish.

From The Lake Sherwood Club
Hello everyone! We are busy at the club making this summer the best on record! And you can help us out! But first, a reminder about the perks of living in Lake Sherwood Acres:
1. If you’ve paid your homeowner’s dues, you automatically belong to the club! And so do your children and grandchildren, even if they don’t live in the neighborhood!
2. You can rent the clubhouse and facilities at a reduced rate because you are a member! Have a party, and not have to clean your house! You can sponsor someone to rent the clubhouse, even if they don’t live in the neighborhood!
3. If you recruit outside members or renters for the club, you get the benefit! More revenue for the club means more improvements, which improves the facilities you belong to and also your property values!
So please, let all your friends know about the hidden gem in Lake Sherwood Acres! Simply tell anyone you can think of that might want a great place to spend the hot summer days, a place for their kids to play and swim, or a place to have a barbecue or a reception, or a pool party! The newsletter has info about all our programs, swim team, and a membership application.
