Awesome park that is , if you can make it past the playground. The playground is at the entrance. The giant jungle gym no kid can resist, slides! Swings, seesaws and monkey bars. The nicest playground I have seen in the area so far. There is a water fountain, clean bathrooms and the Clarke House Museum. There are volleyball courts , walking trails and a botanical garden. There are multiple pavilions you can rent for parties or sit under to have a picnic lunch. There is only one thing lacking at this beautiful park..parking. The parking lot is extremely small. If you don't get here early, you have to find somewhere down a side street and walk. read more

If you've never been to this park, make the drive and CHECK IT OUT! This playground is next to the historical Clarke House so you can get a little exercise and history, all in one! I took my 1.5 year old and he had the best time exploring every part of the park. They have so many types of play equipment I have never seen in other parks. The long zip line and the chair zip line were not working while we were there but it didn't feel like we were missing out on anything with so many other fun things to play on. read more

I love coming to this park. There's so much to do for every child and there's plenty of space to explore the walking trail and the volleyball space. I really enjoy letting my nanny kiddo explore all the slides and climbing activities here. I do wish there was better shade for the swings and in general the play ground. Where the sun shades are located in the park don't block out the sun entirely. Beyond that, the park is clean, has bathrooms available, and extra parking past the volleyball courts. read more

This park had a lot of features. It does get really busy but even running around solo, our kid had a good time. Parking was a bit more difficult. They have overflow in the back. read more

We haven't been in years and stopped by randomly and found that it had recently been renovated. I feel like they did a fantastic job! The playground area is nearly enclosed with one way in and out. There are several zip lines, swings, climbing structures, slides, seesaws that seem a great fit for various ages and ability levels. My kids had a blast. We also loved the little nature trails. Perfect for little explorers read more

We love coming to this park. Our boys both have such a great time. The equipment upgrades were worth wait during the pandemic. I love that they now have lots of benches for the adults to sit on, and there are so many activities for the kids to engage in. They also have a cute little walking trail where you can stop and read along the path. The restrooms are decent. They now have auto flush and auto door openers. The only thing is that the toilets are small and have no seats. But I really appreciate that they are touchless. Also they have added lots of bench seating off to the right for picnics, which is great because the pavilions are usually rented for parties. This is definitely a park the family can spend time in and enjoy. read more

This park is fantastic!! They just finished a full remodel and it's easily the coolest park we've ever been to. As long as parents and kids respect the structures and clean up after themselves, this place will be awesome for a long time!! read more

This is a really cool park! My son loves the new zip line and climbing tower also the story book trail! This park was recently upgraded and all the wooden fixtures have been replaced (definitely a plus in my book)! There are several seating areas and enough sunny and shady spots for everyone. Also, get here early or you won't find parking and currently the bathrooms are out of commission but the have several porta potty's and hand washing stations in the meantime. read more

I am always looking for outdoor activities for my family, especially parks where we can walk and explore, so I had seen this park on a list of recommended parks and wanted to check it out. It was about a 30 minute drive from our house to the park, and that was on a good day with not a lot of orange park traffic. When we arrived, there were a lot of people at the park, so we had to park in the overflow lot in the back. The parking spaces are tight squeezes, so be careful when you open car doors. We unloaded the car and started walking to the park. They have lots of pavilions for rent and benches to sit and admire the scenery. There is a small storytime walking trail that takes about 5 minutes to complete. The highlight of the visit was the renovated playground. They have swings, ziplines, slides, climbing equipment, and more for the children. My husband and I did the swings with our toddler son, and he enjoyed it! When he is older, he will enjoy the rest of the playground to play on. It took about 30-45 minutes to enjoy the whole park, so it was a quick trip for us. read more

This is a wonderful park to visit! The playground looks brand new with a lot of fun play options for kids. Plenty of benches and shaded spots as well as a picnic area with a ton of tables. If you are in the area, it's a great stop! read more

This park has everything you could ask for. It is amazing for crawling babies up to preteens and then some. The sandbox is very well kept and clean with toys inside. There are zip lines and a massive climbing playgym. Walking trails right by the park and a covered pavilion. There's even a sand volleyball court right next to it. I have been to this mark many times and it will continue to be my favorite in all of jacksonville. read more

WOW - Just wow. What an amazing park. There's a ton to do here for the little ones, and even adults because most if not all of the structure on the playground is solid. There's a small nature trail w/informational signage. Covered gazebo with electricity and grills that can be reserved. I'm a huge fan of most things old and that old house is just cool. I have not had a chance to do the tour but just checking it out from the outside is awesome enough. I would highly, highly recommend this park. read more

I love this park, we drive about 25 mins just to come here. It's great for kids of all ages, there's a lot of equipment to play on and they even have a swing for children with special needs. The park is a good size for children to get there energy out and they even have a covered picnic area for parties or bbq's. Definitely worth it and oh there's a cute little nature trail. read more

I came to this park due to a previous review saying there were some nature trails and I enjoy taking my dog outside for long walks. This park has a pretty awesome playground for kids. There is a retention pond in the back- but it's completely fenced in and you cannot walk around it. Next to the park you'll start to see the nature trails. This definitely isn't my favorite nature trail- but it is okay. The trails do switch backs about 4 times and then end. But if you don't mind going off trail there is a little stream you can cross and go deeper back. Id recommend mosquito spray and high shoes. It looks like snake territory. All in all this is an okay park. read more

there was hardly anything for my nine month old to do here. Plus since none of the playground equipment is shaded, everything was very hot. Wish the playground setup stayed the same in regards to what it used to be. read more

This is a nice playground, I had been told that the county is responsible for this park now and it doesn't look like they are maintaining it the wood is in bad condition in a lot of areas of the park and they is trash everywhere, I would suggest putting waste baskets in the corners of the playground perimeter so people have a place to throw away there trash without having to leave the fenced in area and to also fix the large gaps in the fence around the park as it is dangerous especially where there are screws popping out. read more

Went here for my nephew's soccer season end party. There are at least four big pavilions with grills for parties. You have to book in advance! The expansive wooden playground is impressive. It is designed in the shape of a castle. Huge moss laden covered oaks provide shade from the smoldering Florida sun. Great place for some good ol' family fun. read more

Great park! Plenty of swings and places to climb run and jump! Only downside is that there isn't enough shade

I'm visiting my in-laws who live on Fleming Island. Decided to visit this place with my 2 year old. It's so hot here in the summer! Lol From a mom of a toddler perspective, this park isn't really for toddlers. There's sand everywhere. My daughter got it on her hands and went to touch her face... no! There's no toddler swing. There are some play equipment small enough for little ones to climb by themselves, but most of it was overrun by big kids when we were there. My mother-in-law followed my daughter around to make sure she was safe (since I'm 5 months preggo). We went at 10am and stayed an hour cuz it was too hot. There's plenty of parking and a nice shaded area with picnic tables. Overall, the castle play structure looks pretty cool. read more

This is one of the best parks I've seen in Jacksonville! It has everything you can think of. It even has little play houses for the kids to play in, a bunch of walking trails, public bathrooms, and multiple swings for toddlers and babies. They even have a swing for mommy and baby to both swing on together read more

This is hands down my favourite place to go when I just want to walk endlessly and admire varying types of birds. Literally, I came just to eat lunch and go but ended up finding blue jays and herons and other unidentifiable birds. Will be coming back soon! Also, this park is filled with memories as I've had every birthday party in my elementary years here read more

Adorable, my son loved this place. We stayed for hours. Needs some updates though, some of the structures are a bit unsound. You definitely have to keep a close eye on your kids on some of the more worn areas of the big wood play set read more

This is by far one of our favorite parks to visit. Very safe & secure. Cops patrol often. Beautiful playground. Loads of fun!

Great playground -- normally in very good shape for the amount of kids it services. Drive over 10 miles and the Buckman bridge to get to this playground. read more
