What Makes GOGO Different?
At GOGO, we’re not looking to sell you a product. We understand that outdoor play spaces are meaningful, community-driven labors of love that involve a substantial investment of time and money, not to mention dreams and expectations. They are more than a collection of fun structures. They are places that children will look back on in years to come—at birthdays celebrated, friendships made, backflips perfected and family picnics enjoyed.
That’s where GOGO Recreation comes in. We help you navigate the practicalities of the process while also keeping your vision alive.
Here are the goals that drive us:
- To bring FUN to Mississippi
- To be a turnkey solution
- To keep Mississippi resources in Mississippi
- To be your one-stop partner from concept to installation
- To earn your trust
- To create spaces where we can watch our own kids grow up
From Our Mississippi Family to Yours
GOGO Recreation is led by Andrew and Casey Rogers, a husband-and-wife team with a clear vision to bring the best possible play experiences to communities across the state.
Deeply dedicated to their Mississippi roots, Andrew and Casey are heavily invested in outdoor play, watching their kids explore Mississippi’s natural world and make their own playground memories.
Having met at the University of Southern Mississippi, Andrew and Casey bring years of business ownership and hands-on experience in the outdoor recreation industry. After spending a year in Texas selling artificial turf Andrew came back to Jackson to set up a brand new operation for Synlawn artificial turf. There he spent the last 5 years growing the business and selling and installing hundreds of thousands of square feet of turf. While the big projects were rewarding, Andrew loved the chance to help local families get more use out of their play spaces by using turf. Now he gets to bring that same passion for fun- facilitation to the entire play, shade, and splash project!
Casey holds a bachelor’s degree in dance performance and choreography and danced professionally after college. She was able to bring her passion for dance to her community when she opened Exalt Dance and Cheer studio here in Clinton Miss. She ran the business, taught classes, and spearheaded recitals and events. Casey’s creative, artistic eye and her vision for intentional movement gives her an edge to help bring projects to life!
Together, they lead GOGO Recreation with a strong focus on service to the local community and an emphasis on lasting relationships.

Favorite playground memory as a kid: Flipping upside down on monkey bars/any bars! And going on field trips to Kids Towne (local Clinton park) with my friends. There were so many options for play; it felt like you were always experiencing something new.
How she enjoys the outdoors now: Playing with and watching my kids outside and at local parks, taking walks and soaking in the sunshine and beauty around me.
