Take the Car and Check Out These 3 Best Views Near Jacksonville, FL
Memorial Park
This large park is a favorite among locals and tourists alike, who love its prime location on the banks of the majestic St. Johns River. Named Memorial Park for the “Florida Fallen” in 1924, this park honors the 1,700 Florida men and women who died serving in World War I.
With 6 acres of space, Memorial Park is full of beautiful areas to sit and read a book, take a walk, or have a picnic. It’s also an excellent venue for weddings and special events, which you can organize by contacting the City Office. Visit the park any time between sunrise and sunset. Once you have finished soaking in the views at the park, you can take a leisurely stroll to nearby pubs and restaurants or the 5 Points neighborhood.
Jacksonville Arboretum and Botanical Gardens
The Jacksonville Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is a must-see for anyone new to town or who loves being active in nature. This gorgeous space is perfect for relaxing with friends or finding some peace away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If you’re looking for something slightly more challenging, we suggest exploring one of many award-winning nature trails.
This gigantic garden covers 120 acres, and the hiking trails will take you through 13 distinct ecosystems! If you have a green thumb or just love looking at flowers, check out the palm, tea, pollinator, and raised bed gardens. QR codes are located throughout the park to give you access to points of interest and cyber yoga.
Jessie Ball DuPont Park
This fantastic Florida park is home to one of our favorite views; the Treaty Oak. This incredible tree is over 250 years old, even older than the city it grows in! In the 1930s, Jessie Ball DuPont began trying to preserve and protect the tree by buying the land around it and donating it to the city. For a scenic outing, you can visit the magnificent tree and then walk around the gardens.
The park is equipped with picnic tables and benches so you can share a meal with friends, and there are handy trash cans placed all around to ensure that the gardens are kept pristine.
