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.

The only downside is that there often times seems to be some sketchy characters that hang around the park and every time we have been it seems to be quite crowded. It's also very small.

This place is a total Southside gem. If you're looking for a peaceful escape or want to get in a…read morefew steps while running errands, this is exactly where you need to be. It's located right at the corner of Blvd and Southside Blvd, yet it feels miles away from everything. Here's why I love it: The Trails: Whether you're on foot or two wheels, they've got you covered. There is a dedicated mountain bike course and several miles of well-maintained trails for hiking. Water Views: There's a beautiful pond featuring a kayak launch and an event center available for rentals. Peace & Quiet: This park is completely tucked away. I've visited twice now and was the only person there both times. The trails looked pretty clean; I think they have volunteers that come through periodically. Birdwatching & Picnics: There are plenty of benches to sit and admire the local birds, plus several picnic tables.

Good park for mountain bike trails and a really awesome dirt jump park with sick jumpy jumps. There…read moreare trails circling around the whole park though, in wet weather some will be nearly underwater but they're nice if you're coming for the dirt jumps. The south parking lot is tiny but there is parking at a senior center off Beach nearer to the dirt jumps which I guess is fine to use? I mean, it's owned by the city as well, not a private business. Unless you're interrupting bingo night I would think it fine to park over there. Be watchful for snakes including possibly cottonmouths. I did not see any but one trails goes between a lake and swampy, flooded, area and seems prime for water snakes--I like snakes but don't want to encounter a cottonmouth on a trail and this seems a great place to do just that.

The staff and volunteers were incredibly welcoming and did a great job hosting. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and such a great reminder of what a special outdoor space this is for the community.

Christmas trees and dragon flies, giant decorations and twinkle lights galore.... Santa is holding court in the center of the gardens, right next to lit up swings and see saws for the kids to run around and play. You can make s'mores over an open fire and there are adult beverages for sale as well!!!

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!

I feel perfectly safe walking around, it's always clean, lawn manicured, quiet, & landscaped beautifully. The gorgeous old tree in the back by the open field is the true show stopper. The loop around the park is fairly short, but very pretty. If I had to take a guess on the length, I'd say it's half a mile long or a little less. It's the perfect length for dog walking on these hot summer days.

Alexandria Oaks Park is perfect for a large group playing frisbee, the loner with a good book, or a play park for the pups. Tips -- parking on North and South end, doggie bags available, massive greenway, basic walk path, rec leagues play here occasionally. When I first moved to San Marco, my kickball league used to play here on Sundays. The greenway that expands from the South to North end of the park is big enough for a music festival. Even if noise or crowds aren't your thing, there's plenty of room on the greenway for you to get some peace and quiet on your blanket. Hey, have I mentioned I have a new dog? Yeah, yeah. Well, we took her here for a play date yesterday and it was great. She had enough room to roam around, meet other dogs, and play until she was short of breath. I expect more frequent visits to Alexandria Oaks Park in the future.

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.
