About Howard Woods Sr Recreation Complex

This city-run recreation complex on Adrian Street in Jackson serves as the base for the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. Visitors can use a playground, a pavilion, basketball courts, and two ballfields for softball and baseball. The grounds also connect to the MLK Equality Trail and include a community garden. The site honors Howard Woods, a longtime local recreation staffer who worked as a coach, playground director, and umpire.
