The Most Epic Playground In Mississippi Will Bring Out The Kid In Everyone

Mississippi’s new LeFleur’s Bluff Playground offers a state-of-the-art play area with unique features for children of all ages and abilities.

If you take play time seriously, you’re going to love Mississippi’s newest playground! The huge play area spans tens of thousands of square feet and boasts lots of unique features. Pretty epic, it’s sure to bring out the kid in everyone.

On December 10, 2021, a brand new state-of-the-art playground will open at the LeFleur’s Bluff Education and Tourism Complex in Jackson.

A great day trip destination for the entire family, the complex is the shared campus between the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science and the Mississippi Children’s Museum.

The 30,000-square-foot LeFleur’s Bluff Playground features 80 play activities, which are separated into different play areas based on age.

Some of the playground’s features are pretty unique.

For instance, the Wedra is the first play structure of its kind in the world! There’s also the Hedra Tower, which is only the 4th fourth play structure of its kind in the nation.

A berm is also among the playground’s unique features. "What’s a berm," you ask? It’s a raised hill in the middle of the play space that enhances parents’ visibility of their children.

Aside from the unique play structures, there’s tons of all-inclusive equipment.

In fact, 73 of the park’s 80 play activities can be used by kids with accessibility needs. The custom We-Go Swing, for instance, is suitable for kids with and without wheelchairs.

The park’s perks don’t end with the play equipment, though.

Shade structures cover 75% of the playground, making the area below up to 30 degrees cooler!

Providing a play space for children of all ages and abilities, LeFleur’s Bluff Playground is sure to bring out the kid in everyone. Don’t forget, the playground opens December 10th.
