There’s a lot to see and do in Vicksburg, and Catfish Row Children’s Art Park is one site that shouldn’t be missed.

Far from your typical park, the highlight of Catfish Row Children’s Art Park is the colorful, eye-catching artwork that fills it.

Displayed on several art walls, the mini masterpieces that decorate the park are the works of local school children.

And while the artwork is the park’s focal point, it’s not the only reason to visit.

A charming play area is sure to pique the interests of younger visitors.

But it’s not just any play area. Aiming to pay tribute to the Mississippi River and the trade that once took place on the famous waterway, the playground boasts a nautical theme.

Informative signage dots the park, too, making for an experience that's both recreational and educational.
