Treaty Oak Park

Treaty Oak Park is a great park, but be advised that there is really no parking. Treaty Oak Park is a nice place and definitely check out the tree.

The tree brought me here!There is a lot of lawn around this opening among high rise buildings in downtown Jax. As others have mentioned, there is no parking lot, but I was able to live park and run over to see the tree. There are really no other trees in the park, so no shade canopy on a sunny/hot day. You will want to prep water and SPF accordingly.I am so pleased to see this 250yo tree so well treated! The Old Senator tree in St. Augustine is 650 years old, and that disrespected senior has a tiny patch in a parking lot for a gross motel, with trams passing it all day long. That poor FL treasure is not permitted to grow and spread out like this phenomenal tree in Jacksonville. In Brunswick, GA, Lover's Oak (over 900 years old) has a bit more space on a median strip, but again, roads on either side. Treaty Oak Park is living proof that these natural beauties can thrive if given the real estate. I'm so happy to see how huge it is, and healthy and happy to boot!The MOSH Mouth statue is very nearby in James Weldon Johnson Park for more photo ops!

It is free park at downtown Jacksonville. No parking space near by. So we park at the bus parking temporarily and watch if the police come to chase us out. Our visit is short and should be good before police show up at our parking spot. The park is famous of the old oak was there. This oak is about 70 feet tall. The trunk Is more than 15 feet diameter. This oak is famous on it branch reach the floor like octopus tentacle. It is great place for photos. The tree branch probably reach 40 feet in each direction. It is beautiful to take the photos with the branch only. I can imagine hang a hammock have afternoon nap. According to the historian is more than two hundred years old. Great find in Jacksonville.

This tree is known as Florida's largest oak tree and Jacksonville's oldest living landmark. We found few parking spots available right in front of the park's front entrance. Standing under this tree is undeniable like standing in a presence of greatness. Just think how many people in the past 250 years stood there, and this tree peacefully all watched us come and go. The events this tree must have witnessed!! I could almost feel it's hugging me.. the way the branches are touching the ground and swirling, simply feels like it's reaching down for you to give you a hug. Simply magnificent specimen, I'm proud there were people out there that fought and preserved this oak for future generations to enjoy! I know I am definitely grateful and humbled by experience.

I got married and did my wedding photoshoot at Treaty Oak Park on a Saturday morning. The images came out amazing. I always loved big beautiful trees (especially if they have moss hanging from the tree branches).My family loved the ida of holding my photoshoot here and it was a great success. I had a family friend take the photographs for me and they came out beautiful to say the least. I'm very happy.

This truly is a historic tree!!!! It's an underrated attraction in the Urban Core (Downtown) area of Jacksonville, Florida. I'm surprised it's not even in TripAdvisor's Top 15 Best Things To Do in Jacksonville, FL!!! This tree is about 200 years old and the park that it's (conveniently) located in is an abundantly family-friendly place, since it's in a safe and (mostly) clean part of town! I recommend this place for tamiles with small children to visit this historic tree! However, it's against the rules to climb this tree. Therefore, it'd be best to observe this tree from the ground!!

A beautiful park which it's highlight is a HUGE live oak tree! It is estimated to predate the city of Jacksonville it self..about 250 years old. The base is 25 ft wide, 70 ft tall and has a span of 145 feet! Many memorable photo sessions are conducted here because of its natural beauty! At one time there was talk of cutting it down to develop the land around it but MANY people and organizations rallied to save it! Jesse DuPont Society has put money aside for its continued care which some estimate it could live another 400 years! Today Greenscape is having its yearly tree give away in the park! There are lots of volunteers and nonprofit helping with this worthwhile endeavor!

You must go see this 250 plus year old tree. It's a humbling experience. I can't wait to go back time and time again. Pictures will not do it justice.

Treaty Oak is such a majestic piece of living history right in the middle of our beloved city!It was so easy to pull right up out front and start exploring... there were squirrels throwing acorns at us... dew on the tree... and the sun rising and starting to peak through the massive branches... Definitely an enchanting scene, whether you are night shifters who were looking to escape the hospital walls after 13 hrs, or your looking for a picnic spot or even a place to have a wedding Treaty Oak could be your spot...

It is a beautiful park and I had my maternity photos here....but the city doesn't keep up with it. Grass doesn't get cut very often and trash here and there from the homeless or just careless people. My boyfriend and I revisited this park about 1 year or maybe a little more , after our daughter was born. There had been a hurricane a few weeks back that hit downtown. When we visited there were tree limbs EVRYWHERE, and quit a bit of trash. Although we went to visit, we ended up cleaning up the park , making piles of libs and debree and picking up trash so when the city did come that it would be an easier cleanup, we haven't been there since but I hoped it helped! It takes a community to keep public places nice. People please stop littering when esp. when there is a trash can less than 2 ft away -_-
