The park features a massive, fully fenced children's playground equipped with towering play forts, multiple slides, swinging bridges, sensory music panels, and climbing nets tailored for both toddlers and bigger kids. A 1.75-mile paved multi-use perimeter path weaves gently through rolling pine hills and open fields, offering a safe, level track for pushing strollers, jogging, or teaching children how to ride bicycles. Sports enthusiasts can play the acclaimed Fore Palms 18-hole disc golf course winding through pine hammocks, or visit baseball fields, soccer pitches, and the community skate park. Cool winter temperatures make this sunny, breezy park a wonderful setting for active weekend family gatherings and picnics. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: Fully accessible paved trails, wide concrete entryways, and level paths connecting all sports fields, parking plazas, and playground areas effortlessly. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Covered picnic pavilions with tables and grills, shaded benches bordering the playground fence, and permanent public restrooms with baby changing stations. • Age Suitability: Suitable for all ages, from infants on paved stroller paths to toddlers in the fenced playground and youth playing disc golf or sports. • Sensory Tips: Open green fields and energetic play areas provide ample space for movement; the wooded perimeter disc golf trails offer quieter natural zones when kids need a calm break. ## Similar picks in Jacksonville - [Gobbler 5K, 10K & Half Marathon at Ed Austin Regional Park](https://grassyknees.com/jacksonville/activities/gobbler-5k-10k-and-half-marathon-at-ed-austin-regional-park--listing-68c83ad8298b808fc4e859d2) — Sat, Nov 21 · 8:00 AM · Ed Austin Regional Park · All ages · From $30 · checked Oct 30.
