I recently had the opportunity to visit Clarke House Park and explore its wonderful playground. Overall, my experience at this park was quite enjoyable, and I would highly recommend it to families seeking a fun day out in nature. Upon arriving at Clarke House Park, I noticed that parking spaces were limited, which could be a slight inconvenience during peak hours. However, once I entered the park, I was immediately captivated by the beautiful surroundings. The park features various amenities, including a sand volleyball court, gardens, a serene lake, and nature trails, providing visitors with a range of activities to enjoy. The playground equipment itself was impressive, appearing to be new or recently updated. The modern design and vibrant colors of the play structures immediately caught my attention. However, I did notice that the large zipline was unfortunately broken during my visit. Additionally, the zipline with the chair didn't glide smoothly, limiting its functionality. As a result, only one zipline was fully operational. Although this was a minor setback, the playground still offered a wide array of engaging features for children to enjoy. One aspect that I particularly appreciated about this playground was its size. The expansive play area ensured that children had plenty of room to explore, run around, and play. Moreover, the park provided numerous shaded areas where parents could comfortably relax while keeping an eye on their children. This thoughtful inclusion of shady spots made it easier to enjoy the playground, especially during hot summer days. The park's amenities, such as the pavilion with grills and the nearby restrooms, were conveniently located, enhancing the overall experience for visitors. The availability of grilling facilities allowed families to have picnics and enjoy outdoor meals together, while the well-maintained restrooms provided a sense of comfort and convenience. Despite the minor issues with the ziplines, Clarke House Park's playground still had a lot to offer. Its popularity and bustling atmosphere during summer break were evidence of its appeal to both locals and tourists. Whether you're seeking an active day of play or a tranquil stroll through nature, this playground and its surrounding amenities provide a well-rounded experience for families. In conclusion, Clarke House Park is a fantastic destination for families in search of an enjoyable outdoor experience. With its diverse range of attractions, including the sand volleyball court, gardens, lake, nature trails, and well-equipped playground, this park offers something for everyone. While there may be limited parking, the park's abundant play opportunities, coupled with ample shaded areas for parents, make it a worthwhile destination. Despite the temporary issues with the ziplines, I left the park with a positive impression and would certainly consider revisiting in the future.

JACKPOT!!!! š®ššš We were driving through Jāville and decided to stop here. This playground is automatically in my TOP FIVE now! AMAZING playground area for kids! One of thee coolest and most modern I have seen in the 140 different playgrounds that I have taken my young son to! SO MUCH FUN can be had here! They have used their available space SO VERY WELL, and have packed SO many different play elements into the rectangular land space they designated for the playground area, and yet itās still not crowded feeling at all. There is more than enough free/open space for kiddos to run around in. They literally have DOZENS of different, cool, fun playground elements and structures to play on, climb on, spin on, etc. The main playground structure is totally awesome and huge and connects to a good sized spiderweb playground structure as well. This playground had a special custom element to it that Iāve NEVER SEEN BEFORE at any of the 204 different playgrounds Iāve been to beforeā¦..an āELEVATOR!!!!!ā SO NEAT! There is also a super cool and beautiful book-walk through the woods! One of the top most creative playgrounds I have ever come across! THIS PLAYGROUND IS AMAZING AND SUPER FUN!!!!

The Clark Park has been completely renovated and updated. I've been going to Clark Park for over 20 years and love the remodel. I enjoy the butterfly garden, small pond, and walking trails along with the updated park itself. My son and I went to the Christmas event with hay rides through the trails. The Clark house was open to look around at the historic items as well as the house itself. A bunch of local vendors came out to sell food, drinks, and items. The park was open to the children. The event and hay rides were free to attend. My 7 yo son enjoyed the event and experience. I didn't expect to spend any money but I did end up spending $30. I bought him a light up toy, green apple candied apple, and of course a drink. I truly enjoyed it as well and will definitely be attending next year. The event was completely safe and had Clay County officers to ensure the safety. Definitely recommend going to the park anytime and to their Christmas events.

I come here once in a while for Pokemon Go because it has 7 stops, 2 gyms, and is also a nest. There are plenty of covered picnic areas as well as a gazebo. The area is well-maintained and I always see some kind of worker present. Just a week ago they were laying down new mulch. The playground itself is one of the best in Orange Park if you have kids. Huge structures to climb on, but only one tire swing that's always in use. The walking paths are quite pretty, and there are many plaques to read regarding the history of the area. The only negative is that the mosquitoes can get pretty bad during warm weather.

If you've never been to this park, make the drive and CHECK IT OUT! This playground is next to the historical Clarke House so you can get a little exercise and history, all in one! I took my 1.5 year old and he had the best time exploring every part of the park. They have so many types of play equipment I have never seen in other parks. The long zip line and the chair zip line were not working while we were there but it didn't feel like we were missing out on anything with so many other fun things to play on.
