Ed Austin Regional Park

I've been coming to this park since 2020 when all of the gyms closed. It's one of the best parks Jacksonville has to offer for getting steps in, walking your pet, & meeting other pet parents here for fenced in play time with your dog off leash (in the shade!, that's a huge help for the summer months) This park also includes a skate park, basketball court, disc golf, baseball grounds, water fountains along the perimeter walking trail, etc. I think one full lap around the trail is around a little over 2 miles. I love bringing my dog here so we both can get our steps in for the day, but also for meet ups with other pet parents and their dogs in the park. There is so much room for the pets to run, plus it's free! Poop bags, water, & trash cans are all provided. This is a great park to bring the whole family to.

Our Jack Jack LOVES this park! Plenty of parking, separate sides for "big" and "small" dogs, and there are cleaning areas (doggy bags) and fresh water fountains throughout the dog park.Lots of people running, playing, definitely make sure your dog is friendly because there are a lot of things going on here sometimes! A++++++

Big park with almost 2 mile walking trail. Disc golf course. Skate park. Soccer and baseball fields.

Ed Austin Park is a very nice neighborhood park! We use the dog park area when it's not too crowded and we really like the disc golf course! There are playing fields, a senior center, play grounds and restrooms. Also, a very nice sidewalk all the way around...good for strollers and dog walking.

Ed Austin is a sprawling park on the east side of Jacksonville. Formerly a golf course, it's now home to a decent disc golf course. The course had a mixture of open & treed terrain. Both have different degrees of difficulty. Holes are moved occasionally to vary your play. Each hole offers 3 pads at the tee area for different skill levels. There are no fees or county residency requirements to play & regulars are friendly and helpful. The park also has soccer fields, baseball/softball and a senior center. There is also a paved trail, that circles the park, for jogging or walking (2.7 miles).

I recently visited Ed Austin Park to play at the disc golf course. It was well maintained, and the course had changed in the month in between me playing which meant your skills for development. The complex also has several other sporting areas from soccer to walking trails and more. I found all amenities to be clean and maintain with plenty of parking and options for entertainment of all ages.

Ed Austin Regional Park is a great place to socialize, exercise and have fun. I utilized the large dog park. But I see that they have a nice long walking trail around the park as well.This is one of the largest free dog parks I've ever seen. And it has many big old trees to keep you and your fur baby cool. There are also several water stations in different sections of the park.The dog park is essentially sand with a lot of pine needles in the mix. It can be messy but my boy Simba had a blast! This was his first time to a dog park and he was a little nervous at first. But once he saw the dogs all started running he joined in on the fun.There are lots of doggy stations with poop bags. I wish everyone used them! Watch out where you walk you might step in a doggie mine lol!I would absolutely recommend this dog park. But like any dog park I suggest staying near your dog in case there are any aggressive dogs nearby. We didn't have any issues but I've had issues in the past with my previous puppy girl Roxy.

Excellent park for friends and families. With baseball, soccer, football and even a skate park you can spend the whole day here!

It's a full amenity park. There's a little something for everybody an excellent frisbee golf course several soccer fields, baseball field, annexes, and indoor gyms. I love this place very kid and dog friendly. They also have a dog park in the front and it's very convenient.

Nice place to walk with a huge track, nature scenery and sporting fields. They also have a dog park and skate park! Love this park and seeing all the animals on the trail! Oh and can't forget the disc golf course, check it out!
