South Beach Park and Sunshine Playground

Wow! This place has it all for little and big kids. The park area which is going through renovation for the next four weeks is a kids paradise to run off some energy and have some great fun on slides, tunnels, swings, and more. There are two very small water splash sections fenced in with benches that could use a more elaborate splash items like a big bucket that spashes down on kids for excitement, but on a hot day it gets the job done. There are basketball 🏀 courts, 🎾 tennis courts, volleyball 🏐 area, soccer ⚽️ area, Great places for a cookout and picnics.

I have taken my children to nearly every park in Jacksonville and this is one of the best. The turf keeps things tidy, there is actual shade for parent’s. The small water park is just right for a break from the heat.

We were on vacation in Jacksonville, and after breakfast I looked for a playground to take my son to. It was wonderful. He loved it, and it has a safe area for little kids where they aren’t close to bigger children. I wish there were more parks like that all across the country.

this is a sweet little park for younger kids and tennis. Only two blocks from the beach usually has a pleasant breeze, there is a large grassy area to play catch, run a dog, or throw a frisbee or just frolic in the grass. There are swings set in a sandbox. And a play structure with climbing equipment and slides. Even an old-fashioned tetherball and a single basketball rim. There are only two tennis courts and they are quite popular with locals so it can be hit or miss
