Sadly this may have been a nicer little park in the past, but clearly it needs some TLC. Took our puppy there Nov 4th and honestly we turned around and left after only a few minutes on the trail. It's become run down and appears that it's not being really cared for as much. Some trash around and on the start of the trail. Beware there were tons of mosquitos on the trail and a stray cat. Who knows how many more. We really have no desire to go back. Those pictures of the "lake" do Not Look anything near like that in person in a negative way sadly and I would probably barely call it a lake. read more

Losco Regional Park is a really nice park with a really nice walking path that goes around a lake. It also has a children's playground, a few soccer fields, a splash type water park, public restrooms, adequate parking and much more. I can't believe that this is my first time here as I am often in the area and seek out parks to walk and get some steps towards my minimum ten thousand steps a day minimum. But now that I have discovered Losco Regional Park, I will say that I will definitely return to this wonderful park. This park was also pretty popular on this particular Thursday morning. There were plenty of people enjoying the park. Losco Regional Park is truly a great park and I definitely recommend a visit here. I will also give Losco Regional Park an overall rating of five stars. Go check Losco Regional Park out for yourself. read more

When we first moved to Jacksonville, this is the park we have grown to love. Destiny church picnic was at the park today. Food trucks, bouncy houses, and much more. Even an ice cream truck was on site. A great way to unwind and enjoy the great outdoors. The tacos were decadent. Wifey had the lemon pepper wings. The piece of resistance was the Rosati ice and blue bunny chop galore ice cream sandwich. All and all the church picnic was a ball. Good fellowship and great food! read more

What a great park that's fairly close to me and didn't even realize it. They have about 3+ miles of nature trails nestled near the back of this park that's a really nice perk for me and the dog. Also, an amazingly large and unique playground area for families to take their children. Not to mention a few sports fields and various tables, lakes, and covered structures for any given activity you may want while being there. Really will come back again read more

Losco Regional Park - Unused water splash pad in the winter with the large playground in the background. - Parks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Losco Regional Park is located on the southside of Jacksonville. This past weekend I had the opportunity to check it out for the first time. Some of my friends did a 5K in the park and then we met up at the pavilion for brunch. The pavilion had roughly six to eight picnic tables and offered shade from the Florida sun. As well as a grill. Not to mention the huge oak trees with Spanish moss all around which provided a lovely picturesque background (and shelter from the rain to get to our cars when we left LOL). They were restrooms nearby which I did not use as well as a pond. We were surrounded by a playground offering entertainment for the children such as swings, slides and climbing. The park offers a sidewalk path through the main portion of the park. There were also three hiking trails that go into the woods. We were there on a Sunday morning and the park was packed. And bonus, dogs are permitted! I look forward to coming back to this side of town for some run/walk exercise and next time I will bring my dog Simba. read more

This is one of our favorite parks. It seems to have something for every age. There is a large playground with some unique "things" to play and climb on. This is the type of playground where not only little kids get to play, but big kids, teens...and even adults like to have fun too. There is a covered picnic area, drinking fountains, benches, grills, restrooms and even a splash park (when in season). There is a large area with trees where the kids like to play tag, man hunt, etc. Often you can see ducks and/or geese at the pond as well. What we like the best is/are the short, but ample, hiking trail(s). It's a very peaceful place for a walk and the trails are well marked. There is more than enough parking too! (There is a very nice soccer field located at this park. I/we have never had a reason to use the field so I am unsure of how or who you contact to use it. But it's a pretty awesome field.) read more

One of my favorite local park. It has just about everything... huge Soccer Fields, Hiking/Biking Trails, Pave Walkways, Playground and Splash Park for kids, Restrooms, Park Pavilion. Great scenery, nice and tranquil for a park.   Losco Park has a 0.5 mile paved pathway that wraps around the park, as well as a 5K route option. It is great for walking, running or just strolling in particular, with your kids and pets. Get that camera ready too, great for picture taking.   This park received a lot of upgrades as of lately. The playground equipment was upgraded. That slide, however... it  goes fast and one of my concern with that is, the slide is metal (it gets hot in Florida, especially in the summer months). That would bid too well on a tushy of a youngin. A small Splash Park section was also installed. Great for young kids. And sadly, I do not see any more swings, which a favorite in the past.   One of the soccer fields was also upgraded, as an artificial turf was installed. There are 3 other soccer fields (all grass) that can be used inside the park.   On the side of the park, there is an entrance for a Hiking/Biking trail. For me, I find it perfect and more suitable for hikers because the trails and terrains themselves are all flat. There are a lot of Pine trees in the trails, so there lots of accumulation of pine needles, which makes for a slippery surface for mountain bikers, especially when making a fast turn.   All in all, this park is always kept clean and well maintained. It is a spacious park, plenty of parking space read more

-Beautiful park with huge hanging trees! There are bike/ walking paths all around the park, when the weather cools down a lil it's a great place to go walk. -Pretty background to take prof pics by the trees too! -Big soccer fields with AstroTurf( I think) -Brand new BIG playground! It's probably suited more for big kids around 6-12? Will once again be perfect when it cool down a lil...that metal slide will scorch your butt mid day!! Lol! -Water play area! ( My Fav!!) Fountains spray water up and drip water down..for little and big kids so fun!! I would recommend having kids wear swim shoes cause it's pretty slippery! - Heard they are going to add a smaller playground for smaller kiddos hopefully coming soon! read more

As a soccer coach and parent, I've been going to Losco Park for the past 10 years. But I've never had the opportunity to stick around after a game and just enjoy the park. Losco is a Regional park is located in Mandarin - they have more amenities than most neighborhood parks here in Jax. The soccer fields are great. Two of them have artificial turf - I'm not a big fan, but they do allow for all-weather use. With the rains we get here in Jax, that's a good benefit. The fields are also lighted, so you can practice at night or have adult leagues. There are several large Picnic Pavilions that provide great shade from the summer heat. The tables are well spaced and the picnic area is usually very clean. What drew me to the park most recently was their 5k trails. There are three loops (red, white, and blue) that, when connected, form a perfectly shaded 5k running course through the woods. The trail does come close to Julington Creek - so expect to see bugs and other critters during the warmer times of the year. We also had some areas of roots to navigate - but that added a little interesting twist to the run (I actually twisted my ankle - but that was while doing a Yelp check-in & not paying attention to where I was walking - totally hilarious and totally my fault - many thanks to Bobby for not laughing too much!) read more

Needs sidewalk repairs other than that it's a nice park to bring family to. Sometimes bathrooms are not clean.

Y'all.... I have lived in Jacksonville for almost 4 years now and I JUST discovered this little park right by my house. Well, I can't take all the credit, I need to thank Emy B. for that. :) This is a nice little park complete with a walking trail, soccer fields, a gazebo and a little playground. There are even fountains for the young ones (or young at heart) to run through and cool off during those hot hot Florida days. There is plenty of parking and a large restroom with some water fountains to refill your bottle and stay hydrated. I liked that there was a map to show that one loop around the main area was a half mile, which was great as we were training for the Gate River Run next year. You're going to see me here more often when I don't feel like going to the gym. LOL. read more

This is a great park for walking with your stroller, as it loops around with an asphalt path around the perimeter of the park. There's a beautiful lake with ducks! No riff raft sketchy ppl like a lot of Jax parks. There is also a splash pad if you have older children, free to the public! read more

Nice little park on the southside of town at the end of Losco Road. It has a nice pavilion with benches and a grill; the perfect place to meet up with friends and cookout. The pavilion is next to the playground offering the kids some excitement while adults can enjoy the shade of pavilion seating. Also right there is restrooms which are convenient; if you have kids you know what I mean. A nice pond surrounded by a sidewalk; which has a hiking trail on the other side. There are actually 3 trails in one at Losco Park measuring different kilometers in length, from 1/2 mile to 3 miles. We enjoyed the 1/2 mile trail trail when we went with our 4 year old daughter and our dog; it was just the right length to wear them out. The park is kept pretty clean; except for a few pieces of trash along the trail. So please make sure if you hike in with trash, you hike out with it as well. Next time we go we'll be taking a bag to pick up trash; and hope others will as well. Let's keep this park beautiful. read more

Clean park with a Nice area for kids. Plenty of room for walking, both trails through the wooded area and sidewalks throughout the park. Our pup loves the trails. There are multiple trails for long or short distances. read more

Losco Regional Park - Parks Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

First time to Losco Regional Park conviently located in the Mandarin area only a 10 minuite drive from my work. The COJ park is full of paved trails on open and wooded areas. I came here to meet my running Yelp friends John L. and Vanessa R. Losco has plenty of trails and beautiful spanish moss trees almost felt like I was in Savannah. Its the home to the Florida Elite Soccer Academy, the busiest times are on the weekday evenings. What impressed me was the large clean bathrooms which were very well kept for a public park. Other amenities they offer are a playground, splash pad and a grill area with plenty if picnic tables. Its a beautiful public place to spend a Sunday afternoon picnic with the family or for a casual run after a long work day. Beware you may run into a crazy soccer mom aggressively watching her child's soccer practice. You have been warned!!! read more

Great because of the splash pad. Very nice views and trail for exercise around a pond.

Love this park. Perfect for everyone in the family. Hike trails. Playgrounds for kids. Places to have bbq parties

Awesome place to run; they have three trails built into 1 that vary distances from 1 mile to 5k. It's epic. read more

Losco Park is so much fun! Pure bliss. From happy families, couples, dogs and squirrels! :) I enjoy walking the park. Just recently found out the 3rd Saturday of each month a team (I don't know the name) or awesome people come with their remote controlled boats. So neat! read more

I love this park!! It's easy to get in and out, theres plenty of parking, and wonderful, clean, paved walking and hiking trails. I bring my dog to local parks often and love waterfront scenery. This one is GREAT and I can't believe I've lived nearby and haven't come here until now! There are soccer fields here, a great big playground with picnic tables (would be great for a kids bday party!), and huge open fields great for throwing a football, kicking a soccer ball and I've even seen people bring their ATV's here to ride around. There is a trail map also, if you are wanting to do a 5k or 1 mile walk. Highly recommend! A gem in Mandarin! P.S. I LOVE the other nearby parks such as Walter Jones, and Riverfront... waterfront parks are great for sunset watching! read more

Plenty of space to run and play. They got new equipment which is really nice but I wish there was something for toddlers other than the swings. I also wish they had more swings for the size of the park. Plenty of parking and they even have a splash pad. Great place to host a party. read more

Such a great park for the kiddos (probably 5+ though) great for exploring and walking around on the paved path. Lots of people bring their dogs. It's off the beaten path so not too crazy busy! read more

Great place to plan a family picnic or just to spend a nice afternoon. When the weather allows it, grab a blanket, some friends, a ball and some food and enjoy the day out. Nice fields to set up a baseball/softball,kickball, football game. There's even marked field perfect for soccer. Playground center to the park so little children can play away from older kids but are still viewable. read more

Great park, good trails, awesome place to run or jog! So much to do with big open fields, you can set up your own volley ball net or play in the soccer fields. Only complaint is that parking can be a hassle sometimes when it's busy, especially since they built up posts and gates to designate the parking areas. Enjoy! read more

Not clean up the trash and don't have any toilet paper in ladies' room. Should do everyday go clean up than building up and smell awful in trash (blue). read more

We came in from out of town for a soccer game. The park was located in a nice residential section of tow. The park looked nice, and had turf fields. However, once stepping onto the turf, the turf proved to be worn down and matted. At halftime, a trip to the bathrooms revealed no toilet paper in 3 out of 4 bathrooms (in the men's room, and only a tiny bit, at that), and literally no upkeep. Bill this as a "bring your own toilet paper" park. read more

Who doesn't love a great park to go to with the family? Losco park is a big park with a playground for the kids and a good amount of seating for parents to keep an eye on them while playing. I actually come here for flag football on Sunday on one of their many soccer fields. There are always people out walking, biking, playing various sports, cooking out or just enjoying the great outdoors. There is plenty of parking available close to the soccer fields if the picnic area is pack. I haven't been to many parks in Jacksonville yet but this is definitely a good one. read more

The park itself is great, but so many of the visitors are inconsiderate. Those beautiful oak trees won't last long because people park under them and damage the root systems. Enjoy the park, but please be considerate enough to be sure that it's here for the next generation! read more
