Alejandro Garces Camp Tomahawk Park is located just north of San Clerc Road, between the San Jose and Beauclerc sections of southeast Jacksonville. Octavio Garces, an instructor at The Bolles School, known as Captain O.S. Garces to his campers, and his wife Geraldine (Gerry) Garces established a private day camp on the site in the latter 1950’s known as Camp Tomahawk. The city later purchased the property from the couple in 1981 for use as a public park, subject to the stipulation that it be named for Mr. Garces’ father, Alejandro Garces. The neighbors principally wanted a passive park, and most of the grounds have been left in a natural state with a mature growth of oak, pine, and maple trees and a creek that extends through the middle of the tract to Goodbys Creek. And with help from the Mayor’s Council on Fitness and Well-Being, the Jacksonville Track Club, and numerous Eagle Scouts, the trails have been expanded and improved over the years.

6:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. the day prior to Daylight Savings Time change
6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. the day prior to Eastern Standard Time change

The Alimacani Park and Boat Ramp is located just west of State Road A1A (Heckscher Drive) on Xalvis Island, adjacent to the Fort George River. Some of the first Europeans to arrive in northeast Florida landed on Xalvis Island in 1562. The ramp and nearby Fort George Island (formerly the Timucuan Indian settlement of Alimacani) are part of the 46,000-acre Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve. The boat ramp is situated on land that the City leases from the State of Florida, near the scenic stretch of A1A known as the Buccaneer Trail. For many years a fish camp/restaurant and a recreational vehicle park were operated adjacent to the boat ramp site, and the City purchased this property in 2002, as part of the Preservation Project. The unimproved ramp provides access to the Fort George River and its tributaries primarily for jet skiers, kayaks, and small jon boats.

Arlington Lions Club Park

Arlington Lions Club Park is located along the St. Johns River, in the Arlington section of east Jacksonville. The Arlington Lion’s Club formed in 1949, and serves the community in areas such as youth recreation and help for the blind and visually impaired. Through the innovative efforts of local realtor Richard Denby Gatlin, the Club bought the property in 1975, and with the exception of five acres that it retained, leased the remainder to the City for use as a park. The City later purchased the site in 1978, and with funding assistance from the state, developed the park in three phases between 1982 and 1989 (when the boat ramp opened). A children’s playground was added in 1990, and the City purchased the five-acre tract from the Lions Club in 1995. The wooded grounds provide abundant nature areas and scenic views, and a long boardwalk along the river links the property with the adjacent Blue Cypress Park.

The boat ramp is open 24 hours/7 days a week. The rest of the park facilities are open sunrise to sunset.

Arlington Road Boat Ramp

The Arlington Road Boat Ramp is located in the Arlington area of east Jacksonville, adjacent to the St. Johns River at the western terminus of Arlington Road. After the Alderman Realty Company platted the area in 1913, it established a ferry service from the present-day ramp site to Beaver Street in downtown Jacksonville. Two ferryboats, which held eight automobiles each, operated on a fifteen-minute schedule. By 1940 ferry service had been terminated, and Duval County opened the boat ramp sometime between 1956 and 1965, during a period when the County’s recreational facilities increased dramatically. The completion of a major improvement project in 1995 included the installation of a floating dock, bulkhead renovations, new fencing and signs, and more. The boat ramp provides excellent water access to the downtown area.

Beach and Peach Urban Park

Beach and Peach Urban Park is located in the Southside Estates area of southeast Jacksonville between Anders and Beach Boulevards. Ernest and Evelyn Anders began developing the Southside Estates neighborhood in 1945, and Beach Boulevard opened in December 1949. The city’s Preservation Project Jacksonville, with the help of its partner The Trust For Public Land, acquired the property in 2002; and a grant received from the state’s Florida Communities Trust (FCT) program was later applied to the purchase price. The name of the park, which contains a five-acre pond, derives from nearby Beach Boulevard and Peach Drive. After input from the community and preparation of a master plan, development of the park began in March 2007 and was completed in September 2007.

Beach Blvd. Boat Ramp

Open 24/7

Beach Blvd. Boat Ramp

The Beach Boulevard Boat Ramp is located in southeast Jacksonville along Big Pottsburg Creek, just south of Beach Boulevard. Though the meandering creek originally included the present-day Arlington River, today it is a tributary of the river. During the British occupation of Florida from 1763 until 1783, Samuel Potts, a gentleman in England, received a 20,000-acre land grant along the St. Johns River and established a plantation named Pottburg. The creek probably takes its name from this source. Duval County purchased the land in 1957 from the developer of the adjacent Killarney Shores Division, and the boat ramp was likely built soon thereafter. Improvements over the years include a new ADA-accessible floating dock in 2004. Due to limited vertical clearance at the Beach Boulevard bridge and limited creek width, mostly smaller boats and jet skis use the ramp.

Bee Street Park

Bee Street Park

Bee Street Park is 8.3 acres of undeveloped land in the South Shores subdivision, east of Jacksonville’s San Marco section. The park takes its name from Bee Street that is adjacent to the park. During the 1930’s, Joseph Davin and Brown Whatley were the premier developers of South Jacksonville. One of their firms, the Southside Homes Company, platted South Shores in 1937 and dedicated the land as a park or parks for public use. In 1940-41, five small parks were cleared and planted on at least a portion of the property. Today, dense thickets, trees, marsh, and a creek from the nearby St. Johns River prevent most access to the land, an in October 2003 the City placed covenants and restrictions on the eastern portion of the site, requiring it to be retained in its natural state.

The Bert Maxwell Boat Ramp is located in north Jacksonville, just west of the north end of the Trout River (Interstate 95) Bridge. On land purchased from a member of the well-known Broward family, the facility opened in September 1961 and was named for Albert Maxwell (1910-1961), the Superintendent of Duval County’s parks and playgrounds who died earlier that year. In prior years, Mr. Maxwell had played professional baseball for the Jacksonville Tars, a team first established in 1926. In April 2004 an improvement project added a second boat ramp, floating docks, new restrooms, light poles, landscaping and more. A popular facility, the boat ramp provides the best direct access to the lower Trout River. In 2006, as part of the I-95 roadway expansion, the fishing pier was re-built at no cost to the City of Jacksonville, the pier is now open for public use.

Big Talbot Island State Park is primarily a natural preserve; a premier location for nature study, bird-watching, and photography. Big Talbot’s shoreline is unlike any other in Florida. Centuries of wind and water have eroded the exposed coast, creating a 20-foot bluff along the shore. The park’s famous boneyard beach is covered with the skeletons of live oak and cedar trees that once grew near the ocean. On the estuarine side of the island a boat ramp provides access for fishing and touring the salt marshes. Visitors can picnic at the Bluffs access overlooking the water, then take a stroll down the Shoreline Trail to the walk the beach or sunbathe.

Blue Cypress Park, Community Center & Golf Course

Blue Cypress Park, Community Center & Golf Course

The city-owned park named Blue Cypress in the Arlington section of Jacksonville, was at one time a local 18-hole golf course for the Edenfield River Estates development. Because the park is located in an environmentally sensitive area, plans were developed to reduce the course to a 9-hole golf course and use the remaining area for a natural, resourced-based public outdoor recreation site. The original facilities included a community center (former clubhouse) and swimming pool (since closed), golf course and tennis courts. In July 2001 the fishing dock, and a boardwalk along the St. John’s River were completed. In 2003 the 9 hole golf course opened until 2016 when the course closed. In 2004, soccer fields, trails, tennis courts and a concession restroom building were added. Pickleball is available at this park as well.

In April 2021 a Grand Reopening ceremony of the golf course was held with Council Members Joyce Morgan and Ron Salem announcing their excitement for the community. In the future, three more holes will be added to round the course out to a 12 hole course. First Tee of Duval will also offer a program.

Cedar Point Preserve is located 10 miles northeast of downtown Jacksonville with two trailhead parking areas. Fitzpatrick Creek Trailhead (7116 Cedar Point Road) is located along the south side of Cedar Point Road just west of Pumpkin Hill Road and the Black Hammock Island Trailhead (8318 Cedar Point) is approximately 1.2 miles further east along Cedar Point Road. The 618-acre conservation land supports several important natural communities; oak hammocks, pine flatwoods, and a freshwater marsh system and is surrounded by an intricate salt marsh ecosystem. This site is essential to preserve this area in order to protect and maintain the salt marsh tidal creek ecosystem and to preserve biological and hydrological functions of the upland forests. Forested areas within Cedar Point provide habitat for wildlife, including many wintering and migratory birds. It also provides protection from storm water runoff floods, winds, and other erosion processes.

Recreational opportunities include 7.3 miles of trails available to hikers, off-road bicyclists and horseback riders as well as picnic facilities, wildlife viewing and scenic overlooks. With the completion of an impressive 245-foot trail bridge over Pumpkin Hill Creek completed in summer of 2018, the Preserve's trail system is now connected to the National Park Service's Cedar Point Property that offers an additional 4.4 miles of hiking and biking trails at the south end of Black Hammock Island.

Dinsmore Boat Ramp

The Dinsmore Boat Ramp and Playground is located along the Trout River in the Dinsmore area of northwest Jacksonville, near the intersection of Dunn Ave. and New Kings Rd. In the early 1900’s, dairy farming became the principal industry in Dinsmore. Prior to creation of the boat ramp/playground area, which was developed as a Duval County facility sometime between 1956 and 1965, a bridge crossed the Trout River at the site and connected Dunn Avenue before the road was later re-routed. After obtaining input from the local citizens, the City made improvements at the site between June and December 1999 that included a pedestrian bridge connecting the boat ramp and playground areas, parking and ramp renovations, new playground equipment and picnic tables, and more. The boat ramps provide direct access to the upper portions of the Trout River, and are well utilized by boats less than twenty-two feet in length.

Dutton Island Preserve

The Dutton Island Park and Preserve is located just east of the Intracoastal Waterway, in the Atlantic Beach area of Jacksonville. Formerly known as Pine Island, it was renamed for a former owner, Walter Dutton. The City of Atlantic Beach purchased the island from Dutton’s estate in 1998, and developed the property in three phases between early 2000 and the summer of 2003. Meanwhile, as the first acquisition of the newly-created Preservation Project, the City of Jacksonville purchased a nearby 98-acre tract in 1999 as the first expansion, followed by additional purchases of 242 acres in 2003 and 8 acres in 2005. Through the initial vision and work of local real estate broker and conservationist Tom Dumas, and the combined efforts of Atlantic Beach and Jacksonville officials, state agencies, and conservation organizations such as The Trust For Public Land, the park/preserve was established.

Earl Johnson Memorial Park

Earl M. Johnson Memorial Park is located between Emerson St. and University Blvd. on the Southside. After the Civil War, much of the area was settled by African-American families, and the community became known as Pine Forest (also Larsen). Most of the land was donated to the City in 1976 and utilized as the former Stetson Road Landfill. The park was created by 1990 and named that year for Earl M. Johnson (1928-1968), the first African-American member of the Jacksonville Bar Association. He worked tirelessly for civil rights throughout Florida, while serving 16 years on the City Council and on the Commission that drafted the new consolidated government in 1968. The site contains 2 fishing lakes and 8 youth soccer fields, often used by the Jacksonville Youth Soccer Club, which helps the City maintain the park. Park Fields will be closed Aug. 5, 2009-November 8,2009 for field renovation.

Friendship Fountain

1015 Museum Circle Jacksonville FL 32207

Friendship Fountain

Friendship Fountain is located in St. Johns River Park (a/k/a Friendship Park), on the south bank of the river, just west of Main Street. When the park opened in 1965, the Fountain of Friendship (named at the suggestion of a Rotary Club member because one of the Club’s cardinal principles is friendship) was the world’s largest and tallest fountain, capable of spraying 17,000 gallons of water a minute to a height of 120 feet. Accentuated by colored lights at night, it soon became a popular tourist destination and local recreation site. Currently, both the Museum of Science and History and a popular restaurant with its own marina occupy portions of the original park property. The park provides a wonderful view of downtown Jacksonville and access to the Southbank Riverwalk that opened in 1985. In addition, the Jacksonville Maritime Museum is located on the Riverwalk, adjacent to the northeast corner of the park.

The fountain will be flowing from 8:00 am to 10 pm daily

Showtimes are 7:00, 8:00 and 9:00 pm nightly.

Helen Cooper Floyd Park "Little Jetties"

Helen Cooper Floyd Park "Little Jetties"

Helen Cooper Floyd Park is located on a peninsula southwest of Mayport, at the convergence of the Intracoastal Waterway and the St. Johns River. In 1830, bar pilots and fishermen established the village that eventually became Mayport. The park property was known for decades as the Little Jetties. In 1985, the City and officials of the Greater Jacksonville Kingfish Tournament began efforts to co-develop the site as a home for the event. After the City leased the property from the Navy and made improvements, Little Jetties Park was dedicated in November 1992, but the tournament never moved there. Around the first part of 1999, the park was renamed. A Mayport native, Helen Cooper Floyd (1922-1998) was a schoolteacher, journalist, and historical researcher and writer. After moving with her family to Pascagoula, Mississippi around 1963, she eventually compiled and wrote two booklets and a book about the folk history of Mayport. The fishing pier was renovated Spring 2024.

Hood Landing Boat Ramp

Open 24/7

Hood Landing Boat Ramp

The Hood Landing Boat Ramp is located adjacent to Julington Creek in southeast Jacksonville, at the terminus of Hood Landing Road. During the Spanish and English occupations, plantations existed along the creek, and numerous farms bordered the creek after Florida became a U.S. territory/state. The ramp was built sometime during the period from 1956 through 1961, a time of unprecedented growth for Duval County’s recreational facilities. Clark’s Fish Camp existed adjacent to the site before the ramp’s creation, and became a popular seafood restaurant about 1976. The stretch of Julington Creek between the ramp and the St. Johns River is a favorite habitat for manatees. As the area became the fastest growing section of Jacksonville and use of the ramp greatly increased, the City searched unsuccessfully for nearby land (much of which is wetlands) for parking and restroom facilities.

Joe Carlucci Sisters Creek Park and Boat Ramp

The Joe Carlucci Sisters Creek Park and Boat Ramp is located in northeast Jacksonville, at the confluence of Sisters Creek and the St. Johns River. Known as Two Sisters Creek when Florida was a colony of Spain, the name derives from two similar hardwood hammocks that were situated on either side of the creek, which is now part of the Inland Waterway. The City purchased most of the land for the park in 1974, and completed the acquisition in 1986 by closing the portion of Old Heckscher Drive that divided the property. The dedication of the park portion took place in November 1987, and construction of the boat ramp was completed in December 1988. The City Council renamed the facility in 1991 to honor of Joseph A. Carlucci, who passed away in February 1986 at the age of fifty-eight. In 1978, after serving as a City Councilman for ten years, the voters elected him to the Florida Senate – an office he held until his death.

Lonnie Wurn Boat Ramp

Open 6AM Closed 9PM

Lonnie Wurn Boat Ramp

Lonnie Wurn Boat Ramp is located in the Fort Caroline Club Estates neighborhood of north Arlington, adjacent to the St. Johns River at Mill Cove. The City’s Fort Caroline Club Park resides adjacent to the ramp property. The opening of the Matthews Bridge in 1953 greatly facilitated the development of Arlington. Arlington-Wurn Construction Co. began developing the subdivision in 1958, and built the ramp, dock, and playground, along with an adjacent water and sewer treatment plant. Lonnie Wurn conveyed these properties to the City in 1974, and after demolishing the treatment plant in 1990, the City added the property to the boat ramp site. Major improvement projects completed in 1995 and 1997 greatly enhanced the facility. Originally named for real estate developer Adolph Wurn (1890-1974), the boat ramp was later named for his son Lonnie Wurn, an attorney and developer.

Memorial Park

Memorial Park

Memorial Park lies nestled between Riverside Avenue and the St. Johns River. In 1918, the Jacksonville Rotary Club proposed the idea for a park to honor the 1200 Floridians who perished in WWI, and the City purchased the property in 1919. Thirty-one civic groups worked in planning and raising funds for the park, which was dedicated Christmas Day, 1924. The park soon became the scenic focal point of Riverside. Designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers firm, the park features the bronze sculpture Life, created by the celebrated Charles Adrian Pillars (1870-1937). A local resident for 26 years, he also created Florida’s two statues residing in National Statuary Hall at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. In 1986, Anne Freeman founded the Memorial Park Association, which along with the City has worked steadfastly to restore and preserve this historic landmark, particularly after a tornado devastated the grounds in 1997. There is an accessible fishing dock at this park.

Metropolitan Park

4110 Gator Bowl Drive Jacksonville FL 32202

Metropolitan Park

Metropolitan Park is an 18.25 acre, urban waterfront, multi-purpose, family orientated park that is located on what used to be an urban landfill, supported by a concrete bulkhead. The land was purchased by the Department of Housing and Urban Development for $1,005,000 in May 1972. The beginning of the park started in 1982, with the first groundbreaking. The cost of the project was $3.1 million dollars. The ground breaking was delivered by then Mayor, Jake M. Godbold and then Governor, Bob Graham, on December 8, 1982. The project was underwritten by the City of Jacksonville, U.S. Department of the Interior, State of Florida Department of Natural Resources, and the television station WJCT - TV (local public broadcasting system). The entire park project was planned to be completed in different phases. The first phase included an exhibition mall for arts and crafts shows, a family picnic area, playground areas, and the focal point of the park was a Performance Pavilion. The park was planned to be a multi-purpose park for family enjoyment that included performances, concerts, plays, talent shows, and other group gatherings. On May 10, 1990, there was another ground breaking for the new entrance to Metropolitan Park. Mayor Tommy Hazouri presided over this event. At that time, the park underwent a $1,079,000 construction project that included paved walkways, lighting, landscaping, parking, and playground areas. Metropolitan Park was the winner of the 1986 Governor's Design Award. The Florida National Pavilion, located in Metropolitan Park, was the home for the Jacksonville Music Festival and the Jacksonville Jazz Festival.

Nathan Krestul Park

2001 LaVaca Jacksonville FL 32217

Nathan Krestul Park

La Vaca Park (la vaca means “the cow” in Spanish) is located adjacent to Christopher Creek in the San Jose Forest section. In the late 1700’s, the site comprised part of the San Jose Plantation established by Francis Xavier Sanchez. Duval County acquired title to the property by dedication on the plat of Section F, San Jose recorded in 1926. The area exhibits a Mediterranean theme, and in 1925 four Hispano-Moorish gate towers were built near the park, marking the entrance to the new development. Alfred I. and Jessie Ball duPont also established their 60-acre Epping Forest estate – one of Jacksonville’s grandest residences – just west of the park. Residents of the San Jose Forest neighborhood are the principal users of park, and around June 2000, Mary Wheatley created a lovely butterfly garden on the grounds. It was later chosen by the statewide Florida Native Plant Society as tops in the wildflower and butterfly category. La Vaca Park was renamed to Kathan Krestul Park in September 2007.

New Berlin Boat Ramp

New Berlin Boat Ramp

The New Berlin Boat Ramp is located along the St. Johns River, in the New Berlin section of north Jacksonville. Dr. Henry Von Balsan purchased fifty acres along the St. Johns River at Yellow Bluff in 1860, and later named the area New Berlin after his native town in Germany. During different periods of the Civil War, Confederate and Union soldiers constructed batteries at Yellow Bluff (which is now a state historical site). By the 1880’s about one hundred residents lived at New Berlin, which consisted of several stores, churches, a post office, and a cemetery. Families have remained in the area for generations, and the state has designated New Berlin an “enclave”, thus protecting it from industrial zoning. The City considered closing the ramp in 1994, but local fishermen requested that the facility remain open until an alternate site could be found and developed.

North Shore Park

North Shore Park

North Shore Park lies nestled between Pearl Street and the Trout River in the North Shore neighborhood of north Jacksonville. Mainly farms and lumber/naval stores operations occupied the area through most of the 1800’s. The original park was included and named on the original plat of North Shore in 1915. After the City annexed the area in 1925, it later expanded the park by acquiring adjacent property in 1943 and 1944. The park contained picnic facilities and a boat landing in 1969, and an asphalt walking trail and stone benches were added in 1987. Though the park now provides a children’s play area, it is largely an attractive, passive park overlooking the river, where visitors may relax and picnic under a canopy of oak trees and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. A shoreline kayak launch was developed in 2018. A new playscape was installed spring 2023.

Northbank Riverwalk & Corkscrew Park

The Northbank Riverwalk extends from Berkman Plaza to I-95 in Riverside. The focus of many premier downtown events, the Northbank Riverwalk offers a fantastic view of the St. Johns River for you to stroll at your leisure. Completed in June 1987, the Jacksonville Landing, with its distinctive orange roof, retail stores, eateries and a courtyard, was the perfect entertainment venue. The Jacksonville Landing was demolished in early 2020. Mayor Delaney oversaw construction of the $8.2 million dollar extension of the Northbank Riverwalk from the CSX Building to the Fuller Warren Bridge to increase the total length to approx. 2 miles.

Boat docks along the Northbank Riverwalk are available between the Main Street and Acosta Bridges as well as at the end of Liberty Street and in front of the Riverside Arts Market (market days and special events only). A shoreline canoe/kayak launch is also available at Gefen Park at the end of Forest Street/Alfred DuPont Place. Corkscrew park can also be found while strolling the northbank.

NOTE: this boat ramp will be closed starting Oct. 14, 2024 through summer 2025 during the bulkhead replacement project. The nearest ramp is the Mayport Boat Ramp.

The Oak Harbor Boat Ramp is located adjacent to the Oak Harbor subdivision in Atlantic Beach, southwest of the Mayport Naval Station. Atlantic Beach incorporated in 1925 and became part of Jacksonville during consolidation in 1968, while retaining its municipal charter and local government. After platting the neighborhood in 1961, Hugh Edwards began developing the approximately 800 home sites. He created a one-acre park, known as the Modesky Memorial Playground, and also built the boat ramp, including a parking lot and picnic area, which he donated to Duval County in 1963 and 1964 respectively. Edwards dredged a canal to provide boat access to the Intracoastal Waterway and anchorage facilities for waterfront homeowners. The boat ramp and park are legacies of a developer who understood the value of recreational facilities for a well-planned community.

Open 24/7

Palms Fish Camp

The Palms Fish Camp has been a fixture on Heckscher Drive since the 1950’s starting out as a bait and tackle store with a boat ramp and eventually became a restaurant and bar. The restaurant continued to operate until 2002 when the City of Jacksonville purchased the 2 acres. The original building was removed due to its condition. A new restaurant was built which is now home to the Palms Fish Camp Restaurant. The City purchased the property adjacent to the original site for additional trailer parking in 2007. The Palms Fish Camp Restaurant was re-opened in the new building on July 1, 2017. The restaurant is operated and managed by local residents whom have a lease with the City. The Palms specializes in fresh local wild caught fish and shrimp straight from the local fishermen’s boats. A large deck overlooks the accessible boat ramp, Clapboard Creek and the Timucuan Preserve. The City expanded the floating docks in December 2019 to accommodate increased visitation. The single boat ramp and trailer parking accommodates boats under 25 feet in length. Public restrooms are available outside and to the rear of the restaurant. Live bait, tackle and ice are available 1 ½ miles west on Heckscher. Marine fuel and boat rentals are available directly across Clapboard Creek from the ramp. There is an accessible boat ramp at this location.

Pope Duval Park

13500 West Beaver Street Jacksonville FL 32215

Pope Duval Park

This 411-acre regional park was named for William Pope DuVal, the first territorial governor of Florida (1822-1834). The park property was formerly the northern end of Cecil Field and declared surplus by the Navy in the early 1970s. The U.S. Department of the Interior gave the property to the City of Jacksonville. The park was officially named in 1973 on the recommendation of the Jacksonville Historical and Cultural Commission.

River Oaks Park

River Oaks Park is situated along Craig Creek, in the San Marco section of Jacksonville. William Craig established a large plantation in the area around 1800. Developers of the River Oaks and the Brookwood Terrace subdivisions donated most of the park property to the City between 1935 and 1937. One block south of the park, lovely Oriental Gardens opened in 1937. The Works Progress Administration (WPA), established by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935 to provide public service jobs for the unemployed during the Great Depression, supplied the labor and most of the funding to create the park, which opened in 1940. Portions of the grounds form a flood plain, with areas of natural wetlands. Groups such as Greenscape of Jax and the Audubon Society have worked to enhance the park, whose stately trees and lawn provide a natural landscape and visual enjoyment for the residents and passing pedestrians and motorists.

Riverview Park

Riverview Park is located on the Trout River in the Riverview/Fairview Pines section of northwest Jacksonville. The colorful Dr. E. H. Armstrong platted the 600-acre Riverview subdivision in 1911. Adjacent to the Ribault River, he created the 25-acre Riverview Tropical Gardens, which became a showplace in the 1930’s & 40’s, attracting over 15,000 visitors in 1936. Garden trails led past lovely native and imported trees, surrounded by blooming lilies, azaleas, and roses. In 1979, the City purchased land for the park from the Estate of H.S. Walker and developed the property; and the Riverview Community Center (now a Senior Center) opened at the site in 1985. Through the years, the wooded area and river setting, coupled with a playground area for children, made the facility a popular get-a-way spot for families. And today, the Center offers a myriad of activities and services for the area’s senior citizens.

Recently, a boat ramp and new playground were completed at this park, Fall 2024.

Like many of the streets in Ortega, the park is named for an Indian tribe, the Seminoles of Florida. Often home to such activities as flag football games, karate classes, and even weddings, the park also contains a marker that tells the history of the notorious bandit Daniel McGirtt, a resident of Ortega from long ago. The picturesque grounds of Seminole Park gently slope from McGirts Boulevard to the river, adding to the charm of Old Ortega, which was designated a Historic District and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

At one time part of the St. Johns River Park and Marina (a/k/a Friendship Park), the marina is now a separate entity. When it opened in 1965, it was the first municipal marina in the downtown area, and the park boasted the Fountain of Friendship, the world’s largest and tallest fountain. The municipal docks and circular dock master’s building, built as part of the original marina, were demolished to accommodate a new restaurant and private marina, which opened in 1986. A pedestrian dock at the marina is part of the Southbank Riverwalk that opened in 1985, and the marina’s two boat ramps provide boaters nearby access to the many activities taking place along both sides of the river in the downtown area.

Stinson Park is located adjacent to the Ortega River Bridge in the Lakeside Park neighborhood that was platted in 1907. The extension of the streetcar line in 1908 from downtown Jacksonville through Lakeside Park and over the new wooden bridge to Ortega, greatly facilitated the area’s growth. The park is named for William M. Stinson, a physician and the president of Riverside Realty Co., the developer who dedicated the land for the park to Duval County in 1912. A medical officer during World War I, he was active in local civic affairs and died in 1954. In 2001, neighborhood residents organized to renovate and beautify five City properties in the area, including Stinson Park. They enlisted the City’s support, and a beautiful new park design was created in 2003, with construction completed in August 2004.

Stockton Park

Stockton Park is located along the St. Johns River, in the Ortega neighborhood (platted in 1909) of southwest Jacksonville. Originally named Ortega Park, it was expanded in 1965 when the City filled an acre of submerged land and built a bulkhead along its length. The park is named for John N. C. Stockton (1857-1922), president of the Ortega Company, the subdivision’s developer. Best remembered for his devoted public service, he worked distributing relief funds during the yellow fever epidemic of 1888, chaired the Board of Public Works in 1893 and after the Great Fire of 1901, and served in the Florida Legislature. Collaboration between area residents and the City led to a major improvement project in 2004-2005. When the newly designed park reopened in July 2005, it became a welcome addition to Old Ortega, which was designated a Historic District and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.

Sunny Acres is situated in the Mill Cove area of east Jacksonville, west of the Fort Caroline and Merrill Roads’ intersection. Created on County-owned land as a park for handicapped children, it was planned and funded by the Motion Picture Charity Club, a local organization composed of individuals that distributed and exhibited motion pictures. After the official opening in June 1964, the park was named by the children. Of special note have been summer camps for the handicapped, and the dedicated work of countless volunteers. Programs for disabled adults, which included recreational and life-skills instruction and some vocational training, were added later. As handicapped exclusive programs were phased out at the park in 1996, the City began an innovative recreation program for children who are being educated at home instead of attending a school. The popular home school program has spread from Sunny Acres to other City parks.

T. K. Stokes Boat Ramp

The T. K. Stokes Boat Ramp is located in northwest Jacksonville, west of Lem Turner Road on the north side of the Ribault River. The land was originally part of the Riverview subdivision platted in 1911. Duval County purchased a portion of the site in 1956, and also leased adjacent property. The facility contained a softball field, basketball court, playground, and tennis courts by 1965. Three boat ramps had been added by 1978, and the leases were eventually terminated and the athletic amenities eliminated. In 1992, the City completed a major renovation of the ramp and also expanded the site by purchasing one-acre of land to the west. Prior to 1965, the facility was named for Thomas K. Stokes, Jr. (1915-2002), a local civic leader and Duval County commissioner. He served as the Illustrious Potentate of the local Morocco Temple of the Shrine, as president of the Opportunity Branch of the YMCA, and as a board member of the Big Brothers.

Thebaut Sisters Landing

In 2021, the City accepted donation of this waterfront property from the descendants of Charlie Thebaut and Allweather Tire Company and named the park "Thebaut Sisters Landing."

Charles Reginald Thebaut, Jr. was born on January 22, 1895, in Jacksonville, Florida, to Charles and Rose Thebaut. Charles left his job as a clerk for Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in 1917 and served in the United States Army until the end of World War I. Upon his return to Jacksonville, he became a travelling salesperson for Goodyear and eventually opened multiple tire dealerships throughout Northeast Florida. In 1924, he married Josephine Isabelle Neal, and they had three daughters, Barbara Jo “Ty” Thebaut, Sharlie “Sister” Thebaut Dutton, and Mary Ellen Thebaut Lanahan, all of whom joined the family tire business, Allweather Tire Company.

Open Sunrise Closed at Sundown

Thomas Creek Preserve & Fish Camp

The Thomas Creek Preserve is located in upper northwestern Jacksonville, near and along Thomas Creek, which divides a portion of Duval and Nassau Counties. The southernmost battle of the American Revolutionary War, and the only one fought in present-day Duval County, took place at Thomas Creek on May 17, 1777. Most of the land was owned at one time by members of the Ogilivie family, who originally settled in the area from Scotland in the mid-1800’s and established the Ogilivie Cemetery near the Preserve. During the period from 1999 to 2002, the City and the St. Johns River Water Management District purchased the property as part of Preservation Project Jacksonville. The site comprises part of the 46,000-acre Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve that was first established in 1988.

Tillie K. Fowler Regional Park

7000 Roosevelt Blvd Jacksonville FL 32244

Open Daylight Hours

Tillie K. Fowler Regional Park

The land was first leased from the Navy in 1979. A decade later, then-Councilwoman Tillie Fowler (later U.S. Representative) began to push hard to develop the land. Remnants of a 16-foot wide brick road links Ortega to Jacksonville and can be found at several locations in the park. The road pre-dates 1917 but was heavily used when Camp Johnston was built as part of the preparations to train American troops during World War I. In September 1996, the observation tower, nature center and outdoor classroom were dedicated. In 2005, the park was renamed for Tillie K. Fowler. A woman of impeccable grace and civility, she tenaciously advocated on behalf of issues important to the City of Jacksonville and on behalf of the needs of the United States Armed Forces, particularly the U.S. Navy. An entry sign into the park now bears her name and honors her efforts. In more recent years, the park has improved and expanded the hiking and off-road bike trails as well as added a dog park and kayak launch.

The Nature Center hours of operation are: Friday through Sunday from 1pm - 4pm. For questions, call 904-255-6877.

Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park

14780 Mandarin Road Jacksonville FL 32223

Open Sunrise Closed 10PM

Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park

Tommy Hazouri, Sr. Park formerly known as Mandarin Park is located adjacent to Julington Creek in the Mandarin section of southeast Jacksonville.

A leading producer of oranges in North America for most of the 1800’s, the community acquired its name from the Mandarin orange that was grown there. The Mandarin Community Club, which was established in 1923, takes a very active interest in the area’s parks. When the development of Mandarin greatly accelerated after the Buckman Bridge opened in 1970, the booming population needed additional recreational facilities. The City purchased the park site in 1989, and together with the design firm, sought and received considerable input from the area’s residents about what facilities they wanted in the park. Former City Councilman Dick Kravitz was instrumental in the land acquisition and early development, which went on to inlclude the picnic area and nature trails in 1992, the pier in 1993, and the boat ramp in 2006. The park also includes playground, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, and adaptable kayak launch.

The name change was introduced by City Council Members, Newby, Carlucci, Boylan, Priestly Jackson, Carrico, Freeman, Howland, White, Salem, Clark-Murray, and Defoor and Co-Sponsored by Council Members Pittman and Morgan in November 2022.

February 2024, a self-service paddle board rental kiosk was installed as a pilot test.

Walter Jones Historical Park

Major William Webb purchased 31.2 acres on the St. Johns River in Mandarin in 1873. He built a home, barn and 1,000-foot dock extending into the St. Johns River. Walter Jones, proprietor of the Mandarin Store and Post Office, moved his family to the homestead in the early 1900s and his family members occupied the property until 1992. The City of Jacksonville acquired 10 acres of Major Webb’s original homestead from the descendents of Walter Jones in 1994 for the purpose of creating the city’s first historical park. The park opened to the public in August 2000 and includes the museum, restored farmhouse, barn, outbuildings, sawmill, historic schoolhouse, nature trail along a riverfront boardwalk, picnic area and restrooms. The park and farmhouse are handicapped accessible. The Mandarin Museum & Historical Society operates the museum and park facilities under a contract with the city.

Wayne B. Stevens Boat Ramp

The Wayne B. Stevens Boat Ramp is located along Fishing Creek in the Ortega Farms section of southwest Jacksonville. The creek flows into the Ortega River about two thousand feet downstream from the ramp. Initially platted as farm size lots in 1910, Ortega Farms was replatted in 1937. The City purchased the land for the boat ramp in 1972. Originally known as the Fishing Creek Boat Landing, the new facility contained three boat ramps in October 1974. While three Jacksonville police officers were ocean fishing east of Mayport in March 1975, their boat capsized and Wayne B. Stevens (1949-1975) drowned. Soon thereafter, the ramp was renamed in his honor. An avid fisherman, he lived with his wife and two children on Timuquana Road, in the vicinity of the boat ramp. Improvements over the years have increased the number of ramps and other amenities at this popular and busy facility.

Yacht Basin Park

2941 St. Johns Avenue Jacksonville FL 32205

Yacht Basin Park

Yacht Basin Park is located in Riverside/Avondale on the west bank of Willowbranch Creek as it enters the St. Johns River. The City purchased the property in 1921, and Jacksonville’s oldest social organization, the Florida Yacht Club established in 1877, resided adjacent to the site from 1907 till 1928. Eventually the City’s Water Services Division (taken over by JEA in 1997) placed a pump station at the site, and JEA renovated the park in 2001 with landscaping, lighting, and the construction of a gazebo and a brick-paved plaza and walkway. In 2002, Jim Overton allocated money from his bond account for the creation of a bronze statue in memory of Mrs. Austin. The completion of the bronze sculpture,"Mom’s Statue"in 2003, it was decided that it would be placed outside of the Florida Times Union Performing Arts Center. A dedication plaque, which is titled “Mom’s Park”, was installed at the park in February 2004.
