The St. John's Town Center is such a huge boon for the city. It boasts a mixture of standard mall…read moreshops, various eateries, and a sprinkle of high end retail establishments that keeps young and old adults of the city coming back for more. But while we were busy cruising up and down town center boulevard, we found that our kids would be tremendously bored. Up until late last year the only form of entertainment we could provide them during a long day of shopping at the town center was the mall choo-choo train that costs us almost an Andrew Jackson for a 3 minute simulation of weaving between traffic for our 2 kids. Sure we could bring them to the beautiful pond at the center of the mall in front of the Italian restaurant, but with the lack of railings if we don't keep a close eye on them, they could literally be swimming with the fishes (or turtles or ducks)! Thank goodness for the Wolfson's Play Shore for providing our kids a break from all the commercialism. The name itself is reminiscent of the wonderful beaches that attract people to Jacksonville and the colorful sea life play structures continue with this aquatic theme. In regards to safety they've got you covered from top to bottom. The area is shaded and the flooring is made up of that finely ground tire rubber that makes you feel like you're wearing moon shoes. There is ample seating all around the area along with anti bacterial soap dispensers. Once the kids are all pooped out, it's back to the endless grind of spending our hard earned money. I'm glad a play area is finally here. If a free pitstop to unload your kids energy isn't your cup of tea, there's always the choo-choo.

A little bit sketchy, but there's a lot of open space and a couple play structures for the little…read moreone. We saw one family teaching their son to ride his bike with no training wheels. The long long sidewalks surrounding and weaving through the grounds are great for that. There are some covered picnic tables but the rubber finish is coming off. There are plenty of benches in the shade of the amazing trees. Although it's right next to Beach Blvd, I could see spending some quiet time reading praying and reflecting on a bench while the kids play. Our son found a pile of clothes and some underwear on one of the play structures, so there's that. My wife said to make this a 4 star review instead of three.

I always carry protection when going to this park but after a strange man took pictures of his surroundings and said "I'll see you later" to me as he left I will not be returning. I wish they would send a cop to keep it cleaned up or had a better solution. Luckily the city's park crewmen were there and he seemed to scare off at them. The trees and walking path are beautiful but, something has to change :(

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.
