 WATER VALLEY, MS

 

The Baker Street Park located in Water Valley, snuggled off Hwy 7 in North Mississippi.  Renovation began on October 25, 2008, with the assistance of a grant from The Mississippi Development Authority.  This grant was used to refurbish some of the old playground equipment in the park and to purchase new playground equipment for the community.  Jefcoat Recreation and Construction was instrumental in assisting Water Valley choose age appropriate playground equipment and offered quality pieces of equipment at great prices.  With the help from Jefcoat Recreation, Water Valley was able to stretch grant dollars and purchase many new items for the playground.  Without their help we would not have been able to purchase all of the new playground equipment that the children of Water Valley deserved.  Thank you Jefcoat Recreation for helping the children in Water Valley to have a beautiful and exciting playground with equipment that will last for generations.  The playground reopened Saturday, August 8, 2009.

This is just one story of the many communities that we help every year.  It means the world to my team to hear back from all of you and to see those smiling faces that appear when a child sees their new playground.  Because it’s not just a place to play, it’s a place where memories are made. 

Thank you Levert,  for all your hard work and dedication to this project.  Those children may not remember the hours you spent building Baker Street Park but they will always remember the gift you gave them, your heart.
