Pigeon Park in Hernando Mississippi, built by Evergreen Skateparks. Hard to believe it, but this is Mississippi’s first public skatepark.* It appears to be out in the middle of nowhere in a field. Maybe it was the only parcel of land the city was willing to part with. A nice setting nonetheless. 5 years in the making, thanks to local organizers and fundraising, and now it’s open. Wonderful.
Video and still from Above Productions.
(Update: Hard to believe because the video claim appears to be incorrect. Thanks to Joesf for pointing out another public concrete park already in existence in Vicksburg. This shouldn’t take anything away from Pidgeon Park. )

Actually, Vicksburg Mississippi got a public concrete park about 2-3 years ago… Of course I left Vicksburg 20 years ago and the park isn’t enough to bring me back:) also oxford, ms has a grindline park that was built 2007 or 2008:)

OK. My source was the video, so they got it wrong too. Link

I think they just meant the city of *Hernando’s* first public skatepark, not the state of Mississippi’s

Also a public concrete park a little over an hour away in Oxford, MS. It was finished in either 2006 or 2007
