Aug 25, 2023
An open grass area at the center is surrounded by old growth oak trees. There is no playground or restrooms at this park. It is a passive park with a walking path and a few benches.From the city's site, "Belmonte Park is located in the San Marco section of the City. James H. Hendricks established the central portion of the park on a recorded plat in 1922, with additional parcels added between 1927 and 1937. Residing across from the old South Jacksonville Grammar School built in 1916, it was formerly known as Hendricks Park. Eventually the names of an adjacent avenue and the park were changed to Belmonte, possibly derived from a city in Portugal."As parks go, it's nice but it would be better for the neighborhood with a playground or some equipment for kids.[Review 20289 overall - 1791 in Florida - 1266 of 2023.]
