RIDGELAND, MS – The City of Ridgeland Recreation and Parks is excited to announce the recent upgrades to the walking path at Friendship Park. Thanks to a grant from the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks Recreation Trails Program, totaling $90,000, the City contributed just $18,023 to resurface the mile-long walking trail for the first time since 2005.
