Where You Live Has Everything To Do With How You Live. Situated just north of the state’s capitol city, the City of Ridgeland is a safe haven for individuals and families seeking convenient access to the vibrant economy and rich cultural tapestry of Mississippi’s largest metropolitan area. By and large, Ridgeland residents prosper in a community that offers the best of both worlds — Close-knit, family-oriented neighborhoods where old-fashioned camaraderie is fostered and the innocence of childhood is preserved; and close proximity to great jobs and schools, some of the state’s finest shopping, dining and entertainment, as well as an abundance of parks and outdoor activities.
The high quality of life in Ridgeland is directly attributable to a robust, energetic city government and actively involved citizens. Together, we have created an attractive, healthy living environment of which we can all be proud. Periodic satisfaction surveys addressing issues such as public safety, education, housing, recreation, cleanliness, convenience and amenities are undertaken to ensure this high level of resident satisfaction is maintained.
With a mild, temperate climate and plentiful sunshine nearly year round, it’s no wonder Ridgeland’s numerous parks and outdoor recreation areas are magnets for young and old. For starters, the Natchez Trace Parkway, a picturesque 444-mile National Park, runs right through Ridgeland and offers easy entrance to this timeless treasure. Our fair city also borders the 33,000-acre Ross Barnett Reservoir, a mecca for sailing, boating, fishing and a plethora of water sports. Of course, Ridgeland’s city parks (Freedom Ridge Park, Friendship Park and Wolcott Park) afford ample playgrounds, walking/jogging trails and fields for organized sports. And the 17-court Ridgeland Tennis Center is also open to the public. With this incredible infrastructure for recreation so readily available, these venues for exercise and socialization have also become a major draw for the city.
