Dupree Park — Attraction in Jacksonville

This park is amazing compared to so many others, and the old one that use to be here before the tornados. Definitely great choice of equipment for younger kids ages 2 & up. Swings are made so that the parent can sit on one side while the child sits across, and you can swing the both of you (needs a strap added on child part for safety).

Most importantly beware of crime. We have personally encountered many odd characters and wouldn't recommend going alone at all.
