South Jxn

South Jackson has several hidden culinary gems and historical sites in the capital city.

Those treasures include Buddy Butts Park, a nature and hiking park with well-maintained, well-marked trails for hikers and mountain bikers. Originally a German POW camp during WWII, prisoners and other enlisted men were part of the 1940s labor force that built the 200-acres Mississippi River Basin Model Waterways Experiment Station, a large-scale hydraulic model of the entire Mississippi River basin completed in 1966. Although the historic design is no longer in operation, it is still viewable to the public and those interested in the state's diverse topography.

Battlefield Park is another recreational area that's ADA-accessible and features basketball and tennis courts, a playground, and picnic tables.
