Jarboe Park

Jarboe park is a big clean space with a lot of activities for the whole family to enjoy. My personal favorite part is the pickleball courts. 8 courts with an easy to understand queuing system, a shaded area with concrete, hooks to place your belongings, and a shower station - practically everything you would want there. The sand volleyball area is also super nice!

Today was the second time I have come to this park since the 90s. It has drastically changed for the better.This park hasTwo basketball courtsTennis courtsTwo sand volleyball courtsMultiple play grounds for childrenA butterfly gardenScenic retention pondsA long trail for jogging and exerciseOn the jogging trail there are stop stations for specific stretching and exercises such as push ups, dips, pull ups, and sit ups.This park is dog friendly, although, leash is required through the the park. Clean up after animals is also required.There are multiple parking locations that directly access parts of the park.

This is a very special setting, where each weekend (on Saturday) between 2-5:00 pm, beach residents, Jacksonville residents, neighboring Nocatee and Ponte Vedra residents all come to the Neptune Beach Local Food Network Farmers Market. All vendors are local farmers, local artisans, and the level of dedication and commitment to future where everyone can eat better. It's all about the customers, the farmers, and access to good nutritious food is a human right regardless of a person's location or economic level.

Well equalized park with beautiful scenery, including wildlife (birds). Plenty of places to sit while the kids run and play. Or take a stroll around the park on the paved pathway. Also has a few shaded areas. The breeze from the ocean keeps it cool. Lovely.

Jarboe Park is not as outlandish as some parks, but it is clean and comfortable with playground equipment for this kids and a place to sit for the parents. It also has a pond, so bring the heels of your bread loaves to share with the ducks. I don't think fishing is permitted and I don't think you would want to. Last week the pond was low and showed its need of rain.The tennis courts are satisfactory and the basketball court is well kept and has the paint on the court and nets on the goals. Plenty of seating around it too.The park is located on the corner of 3rd street and Beaches Chapel on Florida Blvd.

One of the many great parks that can be found in the Jacksonville area. It has activities for the whole family. Jarboe park has three tennis courts, 20 "Fit-Trail" stations, two playgrounds (one is for toddlers), various types of swings, numerous picnic areas, and even a small basketball court for elementary and middle school aged children. The Southeast corner of this park is the home of the Beaches Green Market and community garden. The market is open on Saturdays from 2 PM to 5 PM. As you can see, this park has pretty much everything a family could want in a park.

Love the walk around the lake. Take some bread along and feed the ducks. On Saturday there is a farmers mkt from 2-6 I believe. I noticed the are special swings for handicapped children which I thought was wonderful.It's not usually too hot here since its near the ocean because I've always enjoyed a nice breeze as I walk around the lake.

I stopped here to investigate the park as a future site to shoot some of my photos at. There's a pond and a small playground for the kids and a basketball court to use as backdrops, so I may use it someday when the loght is right.
