Im always looking for great walking trails in Jax and had no idea this park even existed, such a cute 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 read more

This was a nice paved and shaded trail. It is perfect for pushing a stroller or walking the dog. 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. read more

They were still setting the Astroturfing on the new front playground when we went a week ago, but the new playground in the back by the baseball field is pretty neat. I would like to add if you have little ones, the playground is fully fenced in ( as in the area lining the woods aren't fenced in‍ ) The playground could use more shade and some water fountains, and more trash clean up, (as it seems no one knows how to clean up after themselves) but other than that it's a pretty neat little place! The path to the boardwalk is also lovely! My family enjoyed it! read more

We love the new playground equipment! Needs more shade over the play structures, but the rest of the park and trails have good tree coverage. It's a great park in Jacksonville to visit when it's cooler outside. read more

We've lived here almost 3 years and never knew this was so close to our home. We rode our bikes here and then discovered the paved trail that winds through the woods to a canoe launch. Unfortunately, we couldn't get to it because the walkway to the launch was closed for renovations. There are also baseball fields, soccer fields, tennis courts and a pretty large playground. read more

This is a great hidden neighborhood jem. It has baseball fields, soccer fields, 2 kids playground areas - small one up front with soccer fields and larger one in back by the baseball fields. There is a canoe/kayak ramp but it is much to far to carry one in to. They are building a new accessible launch on timuquana which you can put in at and make a stop down at floating dock in rivenhaver. There is a nice stretch of the Ortega River in between to explore. There are also paved trails back by the baseball fields which go through the wooded areas. There is even a second trail if you cross over the utility easement off The first paved trail. Also 2 tennis courts next to trail entrances. We love to run our dogs in the wooded trail which is shaded. read more

A great day for a walk in the park.. the kayak launch is all new, small board walk/dock just off the Ortega River.

The riverfront boardwalk is closed. Disappointing to find this after a long walk from parking. read more

Ringhaver Park - Boardwalk is CLOSED. Disappointed to find the riverfront boardwalk is closed after walking so far to find it like this. - Parks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This is less of a park and more of a couple of soccer fields with a mini park attached. There is a pavilion (2 sides) to rent (online) for picnics and parties, but the cleanliness leaves much to be desired. If you rent one, you are constantly under bombardment from soccer folks trying to take tables over to the field. The bathrooms leave much to be desired. The children's playground has different age levels of equipment which is nice. The actual nature park seems to be pleasant but was overrun (as well as the playground) by young bored family members of soccer players. All in all, I'm rather underwhelmed by it all. read more

I found this park thanks to Yelp :) The nature trail is all the way in the back past the soccer fields, past the baseball fields. You'll also pass the playground, and park near the tennis courts. There are about 10 fully shaded spots.... So that's a huge plus! The trail is paved about 90% of the way. Once you get over the bridges and boardwalk it splits left and right. It's a circle so it doesn't matter which way you go. BUT going to the left is quicker to get to the water than going to the right. But both lead to the water :). I brought my dog and he loved the trail tons of new smells for him! There are a lot if grasshopper on this trail! That is for sure! It took me about 45 minutes to do the whole trail and stay at the water for a few minutes. At the end of the boardwalk that takes you to the water is a metal boat slip. When I took my dog down there he kept hoping around- it was way to hot for his paws so be aware. All in all a great nature trail that is a hidden gem in Jacksonville :) read more

Park was ok. Trails were ok but boardwalk walking to the river needed some repairs. The bridge going to the small pier was also falling apart. The length was good but the place seemed sketchy at times to me. I wouldn't want to be here by myself very long. read more

This park is pretty close to my house and has pretty much everything you would look for in a park. Soccer field, baseball field, football field, children's play area, nature trail and even an area you can set up BBQ. Nature walk is primary what I come here for and it's actually a pretty good distance from start to finish. If you plan on bringing your pet to go on a nature walk be prepared to pick some ticks if they get into the bushes while walking. Other then that its a good park. read more

Ringhaver Park - Bridge to boat ramp - Parks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

We have tried this park a few times. The equipment is in pretty good shape and it's not trashy. They seem to have a lot of activities going during summer and fall months. Soccer practices and such close by. But the playground portion isn't very busy. I rarely find anyone else there. This would probably be a plus to some, but as I have an only child and I take her to have social time with other kids, it doesn't put the park up on my list as one to recommend. read more

This park is actually very nice and much larger than expected. It has a bunch of larger soccer fields that are connected and it has a small playground attached. Farther back there is a much larger playground area, boardwalk, nature trails, and a spot for kayaking. I've been 5 times and it's been pretty clean for an outdoor park. I don't expect to eat off the ground at a park or expect the bathrooms to be pristine so I have to disagree with people saying that it's extremely dirty. I notice there is a little trash after soccer games but there are always workers there cleaning up throughout the week. read more
