 8298 SW LAFAYETTE WAY

Your Exclusive Rec Hall!

As a CHOA homeowner, you can access a historic community space! The “C” area Rec Hall at 8298 SW Lafayette Way was the original Charbonneau Country Club building. After the new clubhouse was built, this space was deeded to CHOA, providing a dedicated gathering spot for residents.

A Little History:

Charbonneau was envisioned as the perfect community by its 10 founding visionaries: Robert P. Booth, Dale Fischer, Walter F. Henningsen, Jr., James F. Miller, Paul F. Murphy, Gordon D. Orput, William E. Roberts, L. L. Stewart, Ray E. Vester, and Ralph E. Williams. They worked with top planners, architects, and engineers, led by Robert Odermatt of San Francisco, to bring this dream to life.

In 1972, the first homes were built along French Prairie, Lafayette Way, and Boones Bend, along with the “Red” 9-hole golf course. CHOA became the first HOA in Charbonneau, forming the heart of our vibrant neighborhood.

Your Rec Hall: A Space for Every Occasion

If you need extra room for entertaining, a special event, or just a casual get-together, the Rec Hall is the perfect solution!


 Less space at home for entertaining? Hosting family from out of town? The Rec Hall is ideal for:

✔️ Card & poker games

✔️ Meetings

✔️ Football viewing parties

✔️ Bridal & baby showers

✔️ Weddings & anniversaries

✔️ Birthdays & reunions

✔️ Family holiday dinners

✔️ Retirement celebrations

✔️ Flower arrangement classes

✔️ Craft parties & more!
