From South Mississippi's Sun Herald:
A playground will open in the Fort Bayou area Saturday, and it offers relief to parents in the neighborhood of about 1,500 homes that never had many safe places for children to play.
Area children helped design the playground that will be built next to Ocean Springs Hospital thanks to a donation of time, equipment and labor from about 150 volunteer workers from KaBOOM!, AmeriCares and the city of Ocean Springs, according to a news release.
City Assistant Parks and Leisure Services Director Geri Straight said the playground is a big improvement to the area.
From The Mississippi Press:
Volunteers from the city, AmeriCares and KaBOOM! will build a new playground on Saturday in the Fort Bayou neighborhood.
The playground will be built in park space adjacent to the Ocean Springs Hospital, city leaders announced in a press release issued Sunday.
"We are thrilled to receive the generous donation from AmeriCares to fund a new KaBOOM! playground on the site donated to the city by the county," said Mayor Connie Moran. "Thanks to the involvement of the Ocean Springs Hospital and Jackson County, the Fort Bayou neighborhood of over 1,500 homes will have its first playground."
