Swimming at Central Park
Located near the center of Jones County, this 297 acre park includes a 25 acre lake (newly renovated) as well as a 7 acre pond. A playground area, swimming beach and sand volleyball court are near the enclosed pavilion next to the 25 acre lake. The beach is open to the public for enjoyment but no life guard is on duty. Swimming is at your own risk and children should be with an adult when near the beach / water area.
Paddleboats and kayaks are available for rent Thursday - Sunday for $5/half hour and $10/hour. Visit the Camp Host (located across the road and up from the beach in the modern campground) to pay and reserve during those times.
