Ridgeland Things to Do Near Northpark: August 3-9
Plan a Ridgeland week around trails, Mississippi craft, the Natchez Trace and reservoir parks close to Northpark.
Northpark sits close to Ridgeland's strongest outdoor and cultural attractions. These plans stay local, cover the whole week and offer both short after-work outings and longer weekend options.
Things to do from Monday through Sunday
-
Monday-Tuesday
Ridgeland Multi-Use Trail
Walk, jog or bike part of the city's connected trail system, choosing an access point and distance that fit the weather.
-
Wednesday-Thursday
Bill Waller Mississippi Craft Center
Browse work by Mississippi and regional craftspeople, then connect the visit to the nearby Natchez Trace or Chisha Foka Trail.
-
Friday
Ridgeland History Trail
Use the city's trail markers for a self-guided look at local history without committing to a full-day attraction.
-
Saturday-Sunday
Old Trace Park and reservoir views
Choose paved walking, picnic space, disc golf or a waterfront view at Old Trace Park for a flexible weekend plan.
