The Parks and Recreation staff is a group of professionals dedicated to providing the City of Meridian with recreational opportunities with life enhancing benefits. In an effort to address the area's leisure needs, the Parks and Recreation Department incorporates recreational, fitness and sports programs which we believe is an important part of maintaining a strong sense of community.

The overall goal of this department is to provide recreational facilities and programs with diversity and balance that are available to all city residents and to those in surrounding areas. For answers to your questions, comments, or suggestions, call us at (601) 485-1802. We are here to serve you.

The Parks and Recreation Department operates and maintains six city parks, four community centers, eight lighted tennis courts, a complete ten-court tennis center, two swimming pools, one 18-hole municipal golf course, 10 baseball fields, two four-field softball complexes, two soccer complexes (10 fields, four lighted), and playground facilities around the city.
