Riverfront Park is a beautiful space in Jacksonville with a riverfront view and a HUGE playground…read more I was staying at the nearby Hyatt and I ended up stumbling upon this park after taking a walk. I was absolutely floored by the expanse of this park. Even as an adult, I found this park to spark that childlike excitement. With huge slides, tepee hut style enclosures, and levels to the park, it was super exciting. A great spot for kids and adults alike!

This is my favorite place in Jacksonville. I walk/run here almost every morning and it never gets…read moreold. Usually it is pretty empty at 9 am. I love looking out and I especially get excited when I see dolphins! The river is right off the main San Marco Blvd and can be easily walked to from the main little part of town. It is also arguably the best spot in town to watch the sunset. The sun sets RIGHT over the river and it is always a great sight. People bring folding chairs and blankets to sit and watch. I've seen people bring V Pizza to eat while looking out at the river, and I need to keep that in mind for next time lol! Note that there is no designated parking or benches. There is a crosswalk with a ramp up to the walk way, so this is handicap accessible. Don't miss this beautiful spot in San Marco.

I went to the Atlantic Beach Farmers Market here for the first time. This park is hidden just a…read moreside street over from the main road. I never knew it existed! Parking is tricky on Sundays - the market was packed. The park itself is so nice and I love how the vendors were set up all throughout. I also noticed there were restrooms that were not port a pottys. They had a variety of vendors, food trucks, etc. This market is bigger than I expected, and I will go even earlier next time.

Been going here since we were younger! Now, we take all the nephews and kiddos here…read more Fun for watching baseball, pickup basketball games, picnics, family gatherings, tennis, racquetball, etc. They even have Farmers Markets and events on the weekends. 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!

Been wanting to check out this park for a while since I know they have Pickleball courts and I…read morewould love to try to play pickle ball more. Came here just for a little walk and to check out the courts and they were busy, there's not a lot of of them so that's probably why they're so busy but the park itself is so beautiful and well-maintained. There's a little lake in the middle and even a community garden that you can stroll through. It was very quaint and small but perfect for a little stroll and there were even some cute ducks here. I would love to try to come to play pickle ball one day and find out the best time to do so. It's so nice to have parks like this in the area to get outside!

Low stars due to "under construction" & closed right now. I have been here many times to shop at…read morethe Farmers Market. I am sad to see it gone, but waiting to see if it will still be a park. I hope so. I will update when I find out. Recommend:not right now.

One of two separate adjoined parks, both of which are small; kind of strange that they need…read moreseparate names. The other one has parking and a playground, this one is a little stretch notable for having a skyline view of the city. While limited in scope, at least when I was there it had one of the cleaner port-a-potties I've ever seen. The water here isn't the kind that you could go in, and the area is next to a bunch of private homes and their docks, but for anyone seeking an interesting view with a breeze it makes for a nice stop.

You get an awesome view of downtown from here and it's usually most crowded when there's fireworks…read moregoing on downtown, but aside from a 30ish foot circular slab and some grass. There's not much to this "park".

I was pleasantly surprised by this park. Went to play disc golf on a beautiful day. The course is…read morefairly well marked - had to back track a couple times but finally did find the tee boxes. Discovered that the park also had basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball field and a few swings. Sits within the Historic Springfield area. Downside is that there are some homeless people that are living under the bridges. Also, very few trash cans available.

Klutho Park hosts the main gathering area for Porchfest - a music festival that uses ordinary…read more(sometimes extraordinary) porches as stages. The park is transforming - via huge public assistance from neighbors & friends and the City of Jacksonville. Hogans Creek flows through the park and connects it to what will hopefully be Jacksonville's "Central Park" one day. Named for architect Henry John Klutho - a man that left his mark on Jacksonville - the park is a reminder & a vision for better times in this neighborhood. They've recently added a sculpture walkway as you enter the park - curated by a UNF sculpture professor and featuring some Jacksonville artists!

It was a beautiful day to eat my lunch on the St. John's River. There are several picnic tables…read moreavailable throughout the park/boat ramp. The park is nice and I like seeing the water and the boaters coming and going. The park could use a little clean up. There is a public bathroom near the entrance, but I've never used them. Pros:great place to launch a boat, take pictures, fish, walk the trails, and eat a meal. Cons:the place needs a good clean up. Recommend? Yes

One of my favorite parks in JAX because the boardwalk hugs the St. John's River for at least 1/4…read moremile. This park collides with the Blue Cypress Park so some of this review may be covering some limited aspects of that park. The park has ample parking and lots of parking for vehicles with boats. The boardwalk and fishing dock have been redone recently and there are ample good fishing spots. There is a good tree cover behind the boardwalk that is a great place for bird watching. The park itself has a few short trails and a large picnic area. The only downside is that because the waves and winds blow towards the park it can be quite windy and trash can run ashore.

Great little park hidden away in Atlantic Beach. Nice playground, tons of shade, and a free splash…read morepad that's open in the summer.

We had to use our GSP to find bc it is well hidden. Once here I was surprised all that it had to offer! They had a well constructed community center though closed now, , I guess you can read it?!I They had basketball courts, lots of pickleball courts (all being used), swings/monkey bars, etc, big multi-purpose field which our pack of 8 year old boys and girls were playing kick ball in and loving it. There is green space too where we had sack races, tug of war....you reserve (or rent) a pavilion where we had our food, drinks, cake etc. Like I said it's a very nice park and well used. One thing was the restrooms, they could be updated.

Northbank walking bridge is re-built and that's fantastic news for Riverside and downtown…read moreresidents. This is a breathtaking way to start your day. Always a breeze, plenty of walking room, plenty to take in a get yourself centered in the city. The new walkway is artistic and beautiful and this connects Riverside to downtown. I know it's a crucial part of Jacksonville being the great city it's meant to be. This is a 5 star experience but businesses need to get involved here. Containers or stand ups with food and drink would be ideal here. It would be great for the city if they built around this and I truly hope they do.

This is a lovely place to visit while in Jacksonville!…read more I enjoyed an evening stroll after dinner and caught some amazing sunset views. As a woman traveling alone, I felt safe walking here by myself during the evening. There were plenty of other people enjoying the river walk that I never questioned my safety. You could easily make this a short or long walk, depending on your preference.
