Parks
With almost twenty parks and boat launches located throughout the County,
the Board of Supervisors has proven their dedication to providing recreation
facilities for both the young and the young at heart. From softball, football
and soccer to playgrounds, tennis courts and walking tracks, there is
something for everyone to enjoy. The Harrison County Parks Department
is primarily responsible for parks outside the city limits. At different
times they help with special events or may construct special projects
within the city limits.
Parks are located from the most eastern to western part of Harrison County
and north as far as Saucier. They handle daily maintenance during baseball,
football, and soccer seasons, as well as work with the Harrison County
Schools to provide gyms for the many youth basketball leagues. During
the youth sport seasons they set the fields for play on a daily basis
with grass cutting done every five to seven days, weather permitting.
They work closely with the youth tournaments to provide fields that are
in extra-special shape throughout the tournaments.
