Where the River City plays.
Outdoor life, year-round. Riverfront Park, Khayat Memorial, the Kreole Fitness Trail, Magnolia Tennis Park, and three more, each one shaped around the families who live nearby.
Recreation and parks for every resident.
Our mission is to provide recreation and park experiences to all residents and visitors of the Moss Point city community. The department creates unforgettable experiences for youth, adventure in the outdoors, and entertainment for all ages.
With a city enriched in culture, family, and faith, we are committed to enhancing program opportunities and facilities that promote healthy living for mind, body, and soul.
