It ended up cutting itself off I believe around 7, or 8pm. Probably 8pm because it was getting a little darker around that time. As I rode around the walking path I noticed a basketball court, playground with play sets, two restroom, pavilion, about 2-3 baseball fields and even a batting cage. Which sounds great, but the amount of trash and loitering definitely made it seem like this park gets a little strange at night. One of the restroom towards the back had a truck camped close to it. As if they were living there. The restroom near the front entrance just looks sketchy in general plus people under the pavilion side eyeing me, along with all the parked vehicle activity made it even more sketchy. I wouldn't recommend coming here at night. Unless you want to get strange.

I'm not sure if it was turned off intentionally or not but the kids were very disappointed. When it is running. I am sure that it is quite amazing as the splash pad has a button so it can be used as needed as opposed to continuously running.

It's great for dogs, children, adults. Everyone. I like that there is a sidewalk circling the play equipment so I can walk while my daughter plays. It's also good for her to ride her bike on a continuous loop. There's a larger outside sidewalk for walking a longer trails or taking the pets for a walk. There's trees to help shade the equipment and people as well. The picnic tables allow for family picnics. Such a great park. I will continue to visit.

They have fit a lot into the space, and the large dog area allows quite a bit of open space. Unfortunately it was unmaintained and the overgrown grass is a haven for ticks, ants, and God knows what else. We saw teams playing baseball, a group of kids playing basketball, kids and their dad doing tennis drills, and kids at the splash pad and playground. The dog park areas were empty and we explored, but not for long because it was unwelcoming with the uncut grass. The parking lot was filled with litter and there was a bit of an unsafe feeling all around. Though people were there for recreation, all the parents were on edge, and just wary. I'm not from Jax so idk the safety of this area, just googled a free splash pad for my kid. It did the job, and was safe enough, but it wasn't a place we felt comfortable to stay for long.

Lovelace Park is a small park by a public school. I mentioned this because if you come around when…read morethe school is letting out, traffic is insane and a lot of people are meeting their kids at this park instead of waiting in the long line to get in the school. There is not much at this park. There is a little paved walkway, a few gazebos, and the children's playground. Still, it is not a bad place if you are in the neighborhood to come and chill for a bit. I would not go out of my way to come to this park, but all in all, it was not bad. Overall, I will give Lovelace Park three stars.

I went to this park for the first time in 4 years and it's changed so much!…read more There is a paved path circling a playground and 3 gazebos with picnic tables. There are light poles every ~100 feet so it's well lit at night. The park is full of tall trees and along the wall of trees there are a few "off the beaten path" entrances that lead into the forest behind it. A few minutes through the forest leads to a small river. If you look to the far right, you see houses from the neighborhood next door. But to the far left, there is a bridge that leads you to a second forest area. We didn't go too far into this area because we forgot bug spray. The forest is pretty and shaded with all the trees. However, there is a lot of litter which is unfortunate.

And on the other side, a skate park and open field! Definitely nice to stroll around for a little fresh air, sun, and exercise. They do have some covered table areas and benches to relax in if you just want to enjoy the surroundings. I like the chill atmosphere. And the tree coverings are good, so it's not so hot in the shade. I'll try to get more pics next time!

It's a lovely park. I do like the umbrellas that cover certain parts of the play area. It definitely helps. It started raining while we were there, so we sat at the sitting/picnic area. It's nice b/c its covered and also has restrooms. Restrooms are always a positive when you have two kids with you. I don't know how old this park is but the all equipment seems pretty new and more modern. Like I have never seen a faux climbing mountain obstacle at a park before. My boys liked the slide b/c it was a taller, so they got to slide faster. Honestly there isn't more I could say. The pictures speak for themselves. But it is very clean and not near the main roads, so you feel safe. Behind the park is a big soccer field. This park has def. moved into the "Top 5" of recreational parks.
