JACKSON, MS- Millsaps men's and women's lacrosse teams took part in the local Humana Builds program this weekend constructing a playground near the Jackson Medical Mall. 

The Majors took to the playground Saturday morning and partnered with KaBoom! the national non-profit dedicated to giving kids a safe place to play. 

"We've been working on this project for over six months. Children helped us design the playground...We hope that it brings the community together where children and adults of all ages and really people of all abilities can come out and become a community again," Humana MS Marketing Director Stacey Carter told Mississippi News Now. 

The teams had a part in every phase of the construction from the breaking of the ground to the final sealing of the cement. The project involved over 200 volunteers and the playground was measured at over 43,000 square feet.
