Boone Park

I can't believe we've never visited this awesome park in Avondale. We came here to get some family pictures on one side of the park, which has tennis and pickleball courts, some wooded trails and a smaller playground.Prior to heading to the park I researched it and saw an awesome playground, so I knew I needed to bring a change of clothes for my little one.We headed over to the ginormous playground, which had ample parking.It had a huge jungle gym, equipped with ropes, spider web climbing apparatuses and a swing. It also had a large slide, a big circular swing, and a smaller jungle gym for little kids.Also, if you're looking to get a workout in, it had an elliptical and a few other outdoor gym options.This park was clean, large, and great for kids.Pros:-great park for kids-huge-bench seating for parentsCons:-pretty busy on the weekendsTip: if you're a germaphobe like me, be sure to bring a bunch of extra hand sanitizer.

A lovely spot in Jacksonville. We are fortunate to have parks like this. - Great walking paths.- lots of benches to relax and enjoy nature. - The playground looked fun and I'd love to jump on, but didn't want to scare the small children.

Beautiful park that is very well kept. Definitley a big kid park though. The only thing my crawling baby could really do was ride in the swings. The parking area desperately needs to be redone though. A million pot holes and bumps.

At the edge of the Shoppes of Avondale is a great park with a children's playground. It's nice to take a walk in the park. Sometimes I see children parties here. Also, many people come and walk their 4 legged friends. BTW if you'd like to earn the Unleashed badge this is where I earned mine. 3 checkins different days. The playground is busy all the time. When my friends with kids come & visit we take them here. We let them run around. By the time we get home they are asleep. As long as it's in the daytime the park is quite safe, surrounded by many homes. I like that it's so close.

Neat little, not so little park outside of the shopping area. There's plenty for the kids to do and there's also a trail that you can take your four legged friend. They also have a few clean up stations and I've noticed each one was stocked with bags so they must maintain this park pretty frequently. The playground area does get busy, especially on the weekends so if you plan on social distancing, or your kids you might want to think of going somewhere else.

Great park for kids of all ages. There's tons of shade and lots of great trails. Playground equipment is fairly new and there's plenty of choices for little and big kids. You can walk to the local shops and restaurants.

My niece and I love this park. There is adequate parking on the side of the park. Lots of trees provide shade and benches to sit and watch kids play. The kids area has a variety of equipment. My niece loves climbing on the jungle gym, swinging, and the rock wall. Every time we've visited she finds a friend to play with and the parents I've met have been friendly. Lots of picnic tables in close proximity to the play area to take a break and eat a packed lunch. This park is cleaner and better maintained than most parks in the Riverside, Ortega, and Avondale area. Sometime we like to play then walk down to the Avondale shops for lunch.Boone park has other sections besides this one. If you are following the park and driving away from the river, you will see large grassy areas, more picnic tables, and another kids area near the public tennis courts.

Some how this place got labeled as a dog park. It is not, it is a park that allows dogs if leashed. I walked the entire park, both sides of Herschel St. I can't imagine I missed it. There are several clean up stations to pick up after your BFF but there is no place to let the guy really let loose. The only fenced in areas are for the tennis courts. They have at least a dozen of those, wouldn't take much to convert one for the doggos.

This park is great for a nice walk or run. I walk my dog here often. Playground is one of the best I've seen for kids. They also have some fun adult excerise things to do while you watch your kids play. If you cross the street there is more with tennis courts and more walking and excerise stops. Only down side is there are no restroom, so you have to leave to go.

I've grown up playing at these tennis courts so they hold a lot of sentimental value. The staff is friendly and courts are well kept. I do recommend reserving courts before you show up they sometimes can be very busy. A great park to bring your family and play on the play ground or go for a walk!
