St.Andrews Playground

Locals in Ocean Springs know this one’s a solid pick for a full afternoon out — there’s a climbing structure, swings, and a seesaw for the kids, plus a splash pad that gets heavy use once the Gulf Coast heat kicks in. The two separate play zones are a nice touch if you’ve got a toddler and an older kid at the same time. Shade trees and covered seating mean you’re not just standing in the sun watching it all happen, and the BBQ area and picnic tables make it easy to turn a playground trip into an actual meal. Restrooms are on-site, parking is easy, and the open grass field plus walking path give everyone room to spread out. It’s a quiet neighborhood spot that punches above its weight.
