Sunshine Park is the best and safest playground in Jacksonville Beach. It's a modern, fully fenced…read moredestination designed for stress-free play. Just (sometimes) the big kids run wild and it can be dangerous for toddlers or babies. Why it's a favorite: Safe & Clean: Fully enclosed with artificial turf (no mulch or sand). The "Fort": A massive, multi-level wooden-style structure kids love. Inclusive: Separate "Tot Lot" for toddlers and ADA-accessible gear. Bonus: A seasonal splash pad, skate park, and pickleball courts. Verdict: It's the gold standard for a clean, secure, and fun family day. Bring lots of water during the summer!

This park is really, really nice. Passed along Hogan Rd. a bunch of times & never noticed it. The…read morepark is situated behind a firehouse. It is located right off a dead end road. It's a lovely park. I do like the umbrellas that cover certain parts of the play area. It definitely helps. It started raining while we were there, so we sat at the sitting/picnic area. It's nice b/c its covered and also has restrooms. Restrooms are always a positive when you have two kids with you. I don't know how old this park is but the all equipment seems pretty new and more modern. Like I have never seen a faux climbing mountain obstacle at a park before. My boys liked the slide b/c it was a taller, so they got to slide faster. Honestly there isn't more I could say. The pictures speak for themselves. But it is very clean and not near the main roads, so you feel safe. Behind the park is a big soccer field. This park has def. moved into the "Top 5" of recreational parks.

I have been wanting to take my son here to play for a while. So, one Thursday morning, I was able…read moreto drive him here to play. When we pulled up, I did notice a lot of trash in the parking lot and a sofa in the woods. There were only a couple of other people here with their children, so it was nice and quiet. They have plenty of equipment to play on, and the area is fake grass for easy accessibility. The slides were a bit wet so we went on the swings first. The playgrounds are easy to climb up and not super high. My son had fun playing here, and it's a nice location away from the busyness of Baymeadows and 295.

The playground is…read morelocated on the north side of the park. * Playground equipment - The city recently updated all the playground equipment (Summer 2025) * Gazebos - several gazebos with picnic tables * Trails - lots of people walk around the outside of the baseball parking circle, but there is a trail under the trees eat the playground I've stopped in the park when the weather is good and worked under the picnic tables (on my laptop). Parking Note: If there are adult or teenage baseball games happening be sure to choose your parking carefully - balls do sometime clear the fence.

Nice clean park. With family activities. A nice blend of people. Felt completely comfortable.read more

A Jacksonville Gem I've Loved for Years…read more As a Jacksonville native, Ed Austin Park has been one of those places I've enjoyed for as long as I can remember. It's one of the few parks in the city that truly offers something for everyone, and it's only gotten better over time. The walking trails are peaceful and well‑kept, the open fields are perfect for families and community events, and there's always some kind of activity happening. They've got great frisbee‑throwing areas, well‑maintained baseball fields, and plenty of space for casual sports or just relaxing outdoors. Every now and then, you'll even catch fireworks in the area, which adds a fun, unexpected touch to the atmosphere. I've always appreciated how clean, spacious, and welcoming it feels. Whether you're a longtime local like me or just discovering the area, Ed Austin Park really shows off the best of Jacksonville's outdoor spaces. Highly recommend spending some time here.

The Jekyll Island Public Playground was just completely redone in Jan 2022. Every bit of equipment…read moreis brand new, fresh wood chips throughout, and nicely maintained landscaping. You can't see the playground from the road (Oceanview), but it's adjacent to the mini golf, so pull in there, and they share a parking lot behind back. Red Bug Motor's Pizza is also adjacent to the playground. There are two playgrounds here, younger kids on right, big kids on left, when you enter from the parking lot. The huge "GA state law says we're not liable for death or injuries" signs are prominent, and creepy. Otherwise, the equipment is brand spanking new, and lots of fun. My (older) toddler was able to do almost every apparatus, and had a blast every visit. There are always kids coming and going from here so your little ones will find some playmates. Many parents let their kids roam free while they went to hang at the pizza deck, or play mini golf. Plenty of benches for parents to sit and keep an eye on kids, and trash cans for waste from snacks.

This park was built by Walmart. I worked for the attorney who was trying to get the Walmart…read moreapproved. The neighbors were very much against it. Said it would bring crime and traffic. (Um no that's car washes and storage units). Anyway, Walmart said they'd donate the back parcel for a park. It turned out pretty nice. The first park was destroyed by angry neighbors or neighbor but Walmart rebuilt. Lots of people use it. Dog walkers, sports teams, exercise clubs, families. It has a pavilion for parties and grills for picnics. Plenty of parking too. And we cannot forget CCSO who frequently keep an eye on what's going on there, just to keep the bad folk away.

It was busy with kids and parents mostly stayed to the sideline letting kids make friends and have a blast. There are loads of shaded picnic tables right next to the park where you can sit or bring lunch to eat at! The squirrels are very friendly and the birds come up to you almost like they expect a due for sitting under their tree, haha! Very clean and safe. There are public restrooms at the brick building across the sidewalk on the side of the picnic tables towards the parking. For public restrooms they're not bad! A quick straight stroll (2 blocks or so) to get ice cream and go out to eat or shop around! Great location.

Adjacent to the Saint Simons Island lighthouse at the southern end of the island, this large park…read morehas a fun zone pool, a lovely walking path at waterside, a large fishing pier and a playground, with a dozen or so benches scattered about, most of which are in shade and all have a great view. When it's not being used freely by all sorts of visitors and tourists, the park gets set up for different events throughout the year, including for Memorial Day, Fourth of July and music festivals. Enjoy the view of the Saint Simons Sound. The big widget is the recovery ship that is cutting up the Golden Ray, a car transporter that capsized a few years back. Great spot. Parking can be a challenge during the busier times but there are plenty of bike racks. [Review 15742 overall - 424 in Georgia - 1246 of 2021.]

The employees and camp hosts are friendly and helpful. There is lots of trails and wildlife to enjoy. Anytime we have had issues, they are promptly addressed and rectified. The only slight drawback is the paper mill stench. It can be quite awful at times. Oh! And the noseeum's. Bring bug spray! We regularly visit Savannah, Jacksonville, St Simons, Jekyll Island, Amelia Island and Okefenokee National Park while staying here. Brunswick has all the necessities you would need and is a nice town. Husband always visits the Pinball Palace! Highly recommend staying a while and really exploring the beauty of this area.

Transients like me and longer term stays are available in the campground. There's just something about being waterside that I find helpful for my mood and my productivity, I was here for about two hours for phone calls and emails, sitting in the van and listening to the quiet lapping of the shore. There are activities here including picnic shelters, a playground, a fishing pier and a boat launch with crane. I was able to watch them pull a boat in with the crane and load it onto a trailer. Very cool and clever. [Review 19929 overall - 616 in Georgia - 902 of 2023.]
