Entrance sign for McLeod Park

McLeod Park is located in Kiln, MS, near the north end of the runway at Stennis International Airport. It's a just a few miles north of I-10, so it's a convenient stopping point for east-west travelers. Owned by the Pearl River Basin Development District, the park is operated and maintained by Hancock County.

When entering the park, the first thing one sees is the new (2014) park office.

It could use some work: doors missing from toilet and shower stalls, a missing showerhead and overall rather dirty. The showers were warm, but not what I would call hot.

The younger kids will have fun climbing in the large play area.
