From South Mississippi's Sun Herald:
The city of Ocean Springs has a new playground for children thanks to KaBOOM! Operation Playground, where more than 350 volunteers worked all day Saturday installing the equipment.

An extra 200 volunteers from AmeriCare, Junior ROTC students, Keesler personnel, neighborhood residents and hospital employees showed up and rolled their sleeves up to build the new playground, which is in Fort Bayou Estates.

From WLOX-TV:

KaBOOM was at it again Saturday, doing what they do best - building playgrounds. This time, the organization partnered with AmeriCares and the City of Ocean Springs to build a playground in the Fort Bayou Estates Neighborhood.

There was plenty to do, and very little time to do it. Volunteers know they only have a few hours to build an entire playground. Fortunately, there were hundreds of helping hands, including the Mayor of Ocean Springs.
