My son has played a highly competitive level of travel baseball for the last 5 years and we have…read morehad an opportunity to play at parks and stadiums all over the country. As the new home of the 14u Jacksonville Crusaders, this is one of the finest facilities I've seen. The fields are immaculate. The batting cages are lighted and in great condition. The concessions is clean and well stocked. Large, clean bathrooms are easily accessible. The park volunteers and grounds crew are top notch. I can't say enough great things about this park and am so happy that this is where my sons's team will be practicing and playing this season.

Tgere are opportunities for advanced play and all-stars even for the younger kids. A full snack bar and just a great group of people who make all the time spent at the park fun. There are a couple of coaches who care more about their team winning and building a 'stacked' team but that is not the norm and perhaps unavoidable in the sports world.

Good park with multiple diamonds and concessions stand…read more Bathrooms relatively clean. Bleachers are added bonus.

Great park and the guy that runs the concession and takes care of the park is awesome!…read moreThey need more tourneys at the park

This park has: 1 - Basketball court (6 goals)…read more4 - Tennis Courts 8 - Baseball Fields 2 - Restroom facilities 1 - Small Kids playground Been coming here for years and it's been gradually expanding and it's nicely maintained. The tennis courts and the baseball fields are in great shape while the basketball court is decent but can use fresh lines. The kids playground is pretty small, it's been updated in the last 2-3 years but it's still an afterthought compared to rest of the park. LOL The tennis courts, basketball court & most of the baseball fields have lights so can actually play until 930-10PM, later if you get permission to turn the lights off yourself. There's ample parking as long as it's not baseball league weekend. Those days gets ridiculous!

Very cute little park and by little I do mean small! It's…read moreon the corner of University Blvd and San Jose right next to a strip mall. I loved that there's plenty of shade, nice old trees and there is a small playground for my 3 year old! It seemed to be upkept nicely! On the cons if you look at my pics that's it, basketball court on one side, open baseball field in the middle then small playground. Still it's nice to have this option for when my baby wants the park

Very cute park. Has plenty of parking, baseball diamond, basketball courts, and playground area. If…read moreyour driving to fast you will miss it. It's a cute hidden gym on University Lakewood Area.

This park is next to an elementary school and is closed to the public until 6:00 pm on school days…read more It is a nice enough park with a baseball field, basketball courts, a children's playground and more. They have restrooms and water fountains on the property. All in all, it is a decent enough place.

Im always looking for great walking trails in Jax and had no idea this park even existed, such a…read morecute gem! There is a 1.7 mile paved loop and a really beautiful park area for kids. There is also a few boardwalks and one leads to the Ortega river where you can also bring a kayak or paddleboard. I love that other than the paved walkways,they have left the rest of the trail untouched so nature is in abundance. Highly recommend. There is also a pickleboard court

This was a nice paved and shaded trail. It is perfect for pushing a stroller or walking the dog…read more All trails didn't show it, but there's a boardwalk that goes to the Ortega River with nice views. It is well maintained with minimal tree roots.there are two playgrounds, baseball fields, bathrooms, pickleball courts, and soccer fields.

In the late sixties and the early seventies the city of Jacksonville Florida would allow music…read morebands to set up and perform at Willow Branch Park in the Riverside district on the west side. Most notable were the Allman Brothers. They lived not to far from the park where they were writing and practicing their music. They would play at the park in front of an audience to get a feel for their arrangements and audience reactions. They were auditioning members and writing songs for their first album. Every one who attended these series of free concerts knew the The Allman Brothers Band was going to make it big. Shorty after the The Allman Brothers Band left Jacksonville another band made it big. They were going to the same high school I was attending. Robert E. Lee high school was a few blocks from Willow Branch Park. I do not recall them ever playing in the park, though. When this band started to get serious I would see them in local clubs. The band had a short time on this planet but they left an indelible legacy. Ronnie Van Sant once told me, when I asked them why they chose touring on a bus instead of flying, "Planes go up and sometimes they fall out of the sky. Lynyrd Skynyrd's music will live on eternally.

They have a basketball court as well as two baseball fields. I played kickball here last spring with Stonewall sports Jax. It has a lot of tree covers, so it's cool even in the midst of the Florida heat.

It was for Filipino Heritage Night and I loved how they represented the Filipino culture with the Filipino honorary consult getting to throw the first pitch and then having the Filipino national anthem song as well. They also had a Filipino food truck there called Sa Mesa, which is always so delicious so we got that for dinner and watched the game. The seats were nice and shaded, which I appreciated and the stadium is clean and nice. I ended up catching a ball, which was so exciting and very memorable! We ended up winning and it was so much fun and I will definitely be back for another fun night here!

1st game of the season for us as they faced off the Nashville Sounds on June 4th and it was fun,…read morethe fans really enjoyed it even though our home team did not win. The staff is very organized, quite friendly as they guided guests to their seats and the bar was quick on ordering our food and drinks. Everything was delicious :) Parking was easy as well and we will definitely come back soon.

Grew up in the neighborhood, I really enjoy the environment and the woods that remain…read more Sports and all kinds of events happen here consistently, which is good. they do thing's professional and have always been very clean and as environmentally friendly as can be. A couple of things that have slacked over the years are the animal rights at the park. There's a sign for the leash, but there's no bags for poop... not a lot of land or field area left over for guests or animals when the sports are happening, so bringing a pet becomes more of a hassle for everyone, rather than a good time for you, your pet, and everyone at the park. The kids playground was remodeled and I honestly can't tell how kids play on this. this park used to be something to look forward to and now it's more like you're worried for the safety of yourself and others more than anything. There's nothing to really do on this playground, the swings were taken away, and the slides just got smaller...

This is much more of a gathering of sport field than an actual Park. It is located at the end of a…read moreresidential area, so it is also a little bit hard to find. However, I am sure it serves the residents of this town well and that countless memories have been made playing baseball on these fields or in the basketball court I noticed in the front. There is not a lot of parking here and it is really not a parking lot as much as in Open Fields. I did notice that one of the ball fields that they did have a concession stand.. If you are looking for a park to enjoy nature, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. However, if you are looking for a place to play baseball, here is the place.
