There's a section designed for toddlers and another area for bigger kids, which made it perfect for different ages. They have multiple slides and swings in different sizes, and they even have a tire swing that we both got to ride, which was such a fun moment. There are also short tunnels and climbing structures that made it feel like an adventure for little ones. I also appreciated the pavilion with benches where families can sit, relax, or enjoy a snack. The wooden design and shaded areas make it comfortable to stay for a good amount of time, even on warmer days. I'd definitely love to return the next time we're in the area!

In the park there is an art installment that was erected back in 2015 for the city's 450th birthday celebration, It's an 8.5' tall replica of the original Monumento de la constitućion covered in photographs of people holding a minature of the original monument. "I hope to concentrate on the ideals of freedom, democracy, human rights and compassion by focusing on the individuals who make up St. Augustine's community," Said of the art installment.

We stay at the inn at least 3 weekends a year and always take our fur child. We like to walk with her in the park. The park is never crowded and very peaceful. Being in Florida, it is also has many trees, which provide plenty of shade. There are also several benches throughout for you to sit. They are made out of stone. There is a statue of St. Francis of Assisi in the back corner of the park. Our dog hates it for some reason and always barks at it! We did notice this recent trip that homeless people are staying there at night, just an FYI. It is also a little higher than the sidewalk. I never noticed a ramp for wheelchairs, just stairs. This park is so quiet and a great place to meditate or reflect. You don't even need music.

Problem is- signage isn't very clear on how to get to the parking lot for the park! The directional sign on the road says "Sculpture Park" with a right arrow- and if you make the next turn you are sitting in front of the police station. Which is where we parked and walked down the sidewalk on A1A to get to the park. Turns out- there is a back exit to the parking lot at the police station that goes down a road and dead ends into the parking lot for the park. Who knew?- not this woman! Oh well- the Lakeside Park/Veteran's Memorial/Sculpture Garden park has a large round memorial to all of the service branches- very pleasing to the eye. In the center is the American Flag and the POW flag below it. There is a board walk along the lake- which provides a wonderful view of turtles! I'm sure you could see some birds too- depending on the time of day. The path winds South and is adorned with a variety of sculptures- hence "Sculpture Garden". I think my favorite was the one that looked like a Phoenix- although there were several that caught my eye. Plenty of shade, benches and art! Oh Well- the big sign at the Southwest corner of the park said Lakeside Park, Veteran's Memorial Park.

So the first thing that I needed to do when I got here was go to the beach so what perfect spot…read morecould there be other than an interesting low key spot like this! Coming here was kinda confusing as I had to look to the walkway to find my way to the shore line so walking down the path was fun and interesting all to its own and with the beach at the end I was all for it! The beach is long and has a way for cars to drive down the middle of it seeing this was kinda a trip to me as I'm not used to cars driving on the beach as you just don't see that in many places outside or Mexico. This spot was definitely a locals spot as I can tell I didn't fit in here which is one of the main reasons I went here as those are generally the best beaches. The beach was right and the time I spent here was awesome I really couldn't have asked for more. Overall super cool spot that has a handful of parking spots right next to the trail and just a ton of beach for you to enjoy. With that said who knows when or if I'll get back here again but let's just say I'll always have another beach day somewhere.

We found our way into the end of the boardwalk & happily shared the boardwalk with pedestrians, families & little kids with scooters!

The other people that are also on the tour, most likely won't understand the fact that they have to stay quiet in order to hear things, etc. Our group laughed, yelled, carried on, ran up the lighthouse instead of going quietly searching. It was complete negative experience for us. They also allow the other group before yours to stay til the end during your time and they were also making noise. I wouldn't suggest it at all, except to view the lighthouse with a little less people, view the city at night and to be cooler than during the heat of the sun.
