Memorial Park

This park is just the perfect size. Not too big and not too small. It sits on the St John's River so that you can see beautiful views and sunsets! There are benches to sit on to relax and rest. There are beautiful trees to sit by on a blanket and maybe bring a basket of food and wine to share with a friend or family. There is a nice view towards Jacksonville and the Fuller bridge. There are also bicyclists enjoying the park. You can bring your dog on a leash if you clean up after him. You can go for relaxing walks or walk as fast as you want. The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens is next door for a peek at wonderful pieces of art and the beautifully designed garden.The Memorial Park celebrates its 100th Birthday this year. It would be a good time to visit.

Memorial Park is an extremely nice park located just off of Riverside Avenue in Jacksonville, Florida. While not an overly large park, it was pleasant nonetheless. My one complaint here is that parking is somewhat of an issue. I enjoyed walking this park and they have a nice memorial statue for those who fought in World War I. We need parks in our communities. We need an area where we as a community can gather in respite and recreation, a place that helps us turn a bunch of apartments or homes into a community. Memorial Park was a great place to spend a bit of time. I would definitely recommend a visit to this wonderful park. It has a nice walkway, the cool memorial statue and a nice view of the water. It is definitely a park that only enhances the neighborhood that it is in.

This park possesses a good-sized open grass circle, a waterfront view, and some interesting architecture. It was reasonably busy on a summer eve, and was walkable to the nearby shopping center while also having a bit of free parking on the side. There are some private apartments and such in the area, and it's a bit disappointing that the city did not preserve the full uninterrupted riverfront for public use (there are riverwalk areas closer to the downtown). Still, a pleasant place to sit.

A very nice small park right on the river near downtown. The memorial statue is quite stunning and very sobering. Mainly some green space with a few benches but the place was hopping on a beautiful Sunday morning.Worth a quick stop to see the memorial.

Such a beautiful park! Riverfront! Great views! Walking friendly! Safe neighborhood! Wide open spaces! Pet friendly! Bicycle racks! Jacksonville hotspot! Beautiful water fountain & statues. Cityscape! Landscape! History! Just do it!

I truly enjoyed my morning walk/ run at Memorial Park. This park is one of many hidden treasures. As it sits along the banks of the St. John's River. It's at the corner of historic Riverside & Avondale. It's a great place to just clear and free your mind from the heaviness of the day. The breeze from the sea is refreshing. I was able to sit and spend time with my dear sister. As we talked, we saw mothers pushing their little ones in the strollers. Friends walking and talking story. Floridians sitting on the marble benches under the huge oak trees enjoying a good book.

Beautiful and calm place we enjoyed our walk through the park. There are several different restaurants and ice cream places to satisfy your hunger or thirst. I recommend to visit.

All stress is lost when walking thru Memorial Park. Talk about a wonderful place to escape the craziness of life. Take in the views, go for a stroll, sit on a bench. It's the little things in life that make life grand. Memorial Park seems to check all the boxes for this guy. I remember cleaning this place after Hurricane Irma just under a year ago. There were parts of me that felt that it's allure would fade away and never return to its original stature. Wrong I was. Memorial Park is in tip top shape, dare I say pristine!The park's crown jewel sits right along the St. John's River -- the statue honoring the Floridians who sacrificed their lives during World War I over 100 years ago.Memorial Park is a place to check out if you need to, ya know, check out. Bike riders, roller blades, dog walkers, etc. fill its home. Did you know they offer free salsa lessons every Saturday? Now you do!Don't change, MP. Don't change a thing.

Nice park by the water. It has a big green area in the middle of the park to walk around and other spaces with park benches around it too. It has a beautiful monument in honor of those who fought in WW1. Also, some fishermen try their luck too.Good for a walk, enjoy the breeze by the water, and jog.

Well kept park, open lawn, sidewalk path, and a water front view. It was a nice small park, nothing outstanding for me. The statue was really nice and pretty deep symbolism of life if you read the plaque. The trees with the Spanish moss gave a real southern feel to this park and it was great to just walk around. But it was too hot to be there for long.
