They invite everyone to join them. It's also great place to meetup with friends and enjoy a walk on one or more trails. All the trails are covered by trees. If it rains a lot at least one of the trails is impassable but you still have other choices. Pros: * Lots of trails to choose from with lots of different levels of difficulty * A nice size picnic area - approximately 8 tables available * A couple of small gazebos (in case it rains) * A nice assortment of plants along the paved walking area * A nice Christmas event Cons: * limited restrooms - available only at the front entrance and sometime the men's needs maintenance

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!

I love looking out and I especially get excited when I see dolphins! The river is right off the main San Marco Blvd and can be easily walked to from the main little part of town. It is also arguably the best spot in town to watch the sunset. The sun sets RIGHT over the river and it is always a great sight. People bring folding chairs and blankets to sit and watch. I've seen people bring V Pizza to eat while looking out at the river, and I need to keep that in mind for next time lol! Note that there is no designated parking or benches. There is a crosswalk with a ramp up to the walk way, so this is handicap accessible. Don't miss this beautiful spot in San Marco.

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.
