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. Still it's nice to have this option for when my baby wants the park

This is a nice park in my neighborhood that I've been coming to for about 10 years. It has a small…read moreplayground for kids and is pet-friendly complete with doggy poop bag stations and plenty of room for Rover to run. I particularly like the spaced-out park benches for a nice rest from walking the neighborhood and privacy when you're off Pokémon hunting. The paved walking/jogging trail is perfect for visitors with plenty of shade and trees during the hotter months. I don't believe there are any restrooms or water fountains around or at least I didn't see any. Just be careful in the early evenings and when the sun goes down because I have heard some unsavory stories regarding sketchy characters hanging out here over the years. Always be aware of your surroundings....

Four Corners Park is just a hop, skip and a jump from my residence. The park provides a path which…read moreis great for joggers, dog walking, or for those little ones looking for a safe place to learn how to ride a bike. With a few benches scattered about and lots of shade from giant, lofty trees, it is an excellent place to take your current book to read for awhile. Three of the four corners contain paths, while the fourth is an open field. A great place for a pick up game of football or soccer. The park could possibly benefit from the addition of a playground, although, that could take away from the serenity of this park. The traffic is never bad through this area since the majority sticks to Post Street. Also, if you take your dog and forget a plastic bag, no worries! There are different stations around the park that have a supply. Trash cans accompany these, so you can throw it away.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Parking was a bit of a hassle due to the new condos that are going up nearby and how many people were there so prepare to have to circle the parking a few times.

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.

There is a bench, a picnic table, and some serious gardening. All the plants have labels, which is educational and cool.

Worth checking out for the park or plant aficionado.
