LeFleur's Bluff Playground
This 21st-century, 30,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art playground is separated into different play areas based on age, for children ages 6 months to 12 years old featuring 80 play activities, 73 of which are inclusive to children with accessibility needs.
All structures on the playground promote physical activities - from providing greater freedom to run, jump, and climb, to supporting reduced stress levels.
Dogs: Dogs are not allowed anywhere on the Complex (Playground, The Den, Spotter's Adventure Trail). Service animals are allowed on the Complex.
The Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Foundation's generous $4.2 million grant for improving the health and well-being of Mississippians made this innovative project possible and their leadership team played a visionary role in the LBC's development.
