Florewood State Park (also known as Florewood River Plantation State Park) is a state park in the U.S. state of Mississippi. It is located off U.S. Highway 82 on the western edge of Greenwood.

In 2005, a bill introduced before the Mississippi Legislature authorized the disposal of Florewood Plantation State Park and four other state parks,^[2] and an auction company commissioned to offer at public auction the "entirety of Florewood River Plantation State Park" auctioned off the park on July 23, 2005.^[3] The department intended to keep the park open as a day-use facility with "picnic pavilions and picnic tables."^[4] As of 2014, the park was described as "Temporarily Closed Due to Renovation" by the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.^[5]
