South Beach Park and Sunshine Playground, Jacksonville Beach

The newly renovated park is absolutely beautiful. My kids, ages 1-5, love all the different things to do and climb on. They have a little of everything. It is a lot easier to see my kids compared to the prior park. It is still very busy with places to hide but I am not quite as paranoid about trying to keep an eye on them. I wish the toddler area had a full gate separating it from the larger park but it just keeps me on my toes making sure my little does run off with the big kids. The splash pad is great for the really little ones. The big kids splash pad is pretty basic with one large fountain sprayer. The kids still have fun running in circles around it. It is very packed through the day so I like to go earlier to avoid as much chaos as possible.

Recently renovated. The park was great before, but this is honestly one of, if not THE best, park in Jacksonville. Everything is new, shaded and extremely clean. Room for birthday Parties, different enrichment activities, just a really fun place for parents or caretakers to bring children.
