HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) - Hattiesburgâs Town Square Park is the 2020 Public Space of the year for Mississippi.
The American Planning Association names a List of Great Places each year featuring one street, one neighborhood and one public space in each state.
Mayor Toby Barker says itâs an honor for the city.
âFor 2020, Town Square Park is the public space in the entire state of Mississippi that made this list,â Barker said. âAnd for those of us that frequent Town Square Park during better times for Live at 5 or some other event, itâs a natural testament to the vision that went into this park.â
