The Natchitoches Alligator Park will live on for future generations as a Central Louisiana tradition. In May longtime owners Terry and Deborah Rogers announced they were retiring and putting the park up for sale. Shortly after, Gary and Shannon Saurage purchased the park.
The Saurages own and operate Gator Country Texas parks in Beaumont and South Padre Island, but this will be their first park in Louisiana. “Now we’re in real gator country. This is Louisiana,” says Gary. “We said we want this park. We want to continue the legacy,” adds Shannon.
