James Hill Park — Attraction in Gulfport

Very nice ,beautiful park. I walk my dogs there almost every day. Of course, there are always bad apples, who litter and drive on the grass after rains. Therefore making ruts in what once was beautiful grass. The littering seems to be less lately. So that's nice. This bayou preserve is actually a wonderful place. You can see all different kinds of wildlife. There are birds, turtles and lots of fish. Update: the gators are back. One grabbed my little Charlie right off of the edge, near the water and killed him. I jumped into the brackish water and swam/ walked out about 25 yards where I saw my baby boy floating. The gator was about 25 to 30 yards off to my right and was staring at me as I carried my dead little boy in my arms back to land. My point, watch out.

My only complaint is that the city could do a better job at the upkeep of the park. The front fence is torn a bit, and many areas of the grass are muddy after a rainstorm. Besides that complaint, the park is clean, free of litter, and it's one of the better parks in the...

Beautiful place. Something needs to be done about the homeless that call this space home. Their dog almost bit my little girl and they were very vulgar to me and my children. Won't be back until they clean it up and out. Be careful if you are a single woman. Don't go by yourself or to late. Can be and might be very dangerous. Just a warning. Where are you at Gulfport PD. Leave all of us tax payers alone and do what is needed...
