Stinson Park — Attraction in Jacksonville

Great park to take the kids. They can ride their bikes, scooters, etc. on the path that surrounds the park. There's are plenty picnic tables and benches for the size of the park/ number of parking space. There's a lot of space for open play, picnics, flying kites, or drones.

There's a monkey bar, two swings (one for littles and big kids each), and a play set. The play set includes three slides, openings to climb or spiral down, tunnels, and space for them to place underneath (imaginative ice cream shop, etc.).
