I've been going to Oceanfront Park for many years. The first time I went to the park I met friends…read morefor lunch as they have several picnic pavilions. My last several visits I practiced beginners Tai Chi at sunset. The park is on the beach and offers a free private parking lot. This is a great place to practice Tai Chi as the ocean noizes help you relax. The grass in the center of the park is soft so I'm sure it's also good for yoga. There were a couple of public restrooms open from daylight to dusk. You will also find lots of dogs being walked in the area. If you're looking for a beachfront park look no further.

This park has everything you need, and/or looking for, and then some!…read more First and foremost, there is a large parking lot. Considering how busy the beach can get at times I'm not going to say there will always be a space open, but your chances of finding a parking space are much better than other beachfront parks...and it's free. The park not only has a large parking lot, but it has restrooms and beach showers. There are boardwalks going out to the beach as well for ease and protection of the dunes. If you are in the park a little after dusk and/or before the first light, please know the parking lot has lighting for safety. Aside from the above, there are sheltered picnic areas, a large grassy area for just chillin' or playin' around, a sand volleyball court, and educational information signs about the area/Jacksonville Beach. Plus, there are concrete figures for you to enjoy, take pictures of or selfies, kids to play on, or whatever. In the center of the park, there is a bronze statue which is considered the focal point of the park. It is meant to symbolize the dedication to preserving public access to the beach for generations to come. If you are local or a tourist and haven't been to this beach...put it on your list to check out. Even if you just want to enjoy an early evening walk on the beach instead of a day at the beach...this beach is perfect for a little something different. There is handicapped parking, handicapped access to the beach, and to the grassy area. (Please note: Across the street from the grassy area is UNF's Seaside Sculpture Park--another good place to check out if you have time.)

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 love finding new walking spots! This preserve is gorgeous with all the greenery and hanging moss…read more The trail is good for a walk or run and the sights are great. They have a small parking lot or some people park in the residential area right outside of it. I would suggest bringing bug spray though because I had a ton of mosquito bites after.

Some of the trail is sand or mud, but it was easy to walk through. The trail isn't overly maintained, but there are branches, roots, and debris along the way. Parking is cramped, so make sure you come early. The bugs were bad so make sure you apply bug spray.

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!
