Our County’s Recreation Department is one of the largest and most diverse in Mississippi. They manage a golf course, 3 beaches, 12 community parks, and 20 public boat ramps and piers. They also average 250,000 hours of youth league activities per year.
While these numbers are the foundation of the Recreation Department, their vision is to create more opportunities for families to enjoy all of our facilities. The days of just managing baseball and soccer fields are gone. Those sports fields are now surrounded by walking tracks, tennis courts, playground equipment, and even water splash pads. We invite all citizens to come and play with us.
The Recreation Department provides services for the following recreational areas within Jackson County:
City of Pascagoula Parks and Recreation
City of Ocean Springs Parks and Leisure
