Returning to daytime adventures, I traveled to the San Marco region of Jacksonville Florida where there are plenty of parks. I started with Alexandria Oaks Park. Alexandria Oaks Park is a wide open park with a trail that loops the entire area. Between the walkways stand plenty of open fields dotted with trees. Not all of them oak trees despite
Normally I don’t explore two parks in a single day. But my roommate asked if I wanted to check out Riverside Park in downtown Jacksonville. I hadn’t done a night adventure in a while so I took up her offer. Riverside Park is a large circular complex with a small pond in the center. Even at night, this area was
I passed a strange shaped park while grabbing food the other day. So I decided to check out River Oaks Park as soon as I could. River Oaks Park is a little different than many of the other places I have visited. Especially compared to my recent adventures. This was not a conventional park. No basketball courts or soccer fields.
Continuing my adventures, I found Crabtree Park. After recently moving farther north in Jacksonville, Florida I had plenty of nearby places to check out. Crabtree Park showcases once more how Covid 19 has changed so much of our lives. I explored this place on a Saturday and yet it was empty. I imagine under normal circumstances, this park has children
I’m back to exploring after moving some miles down the road. This time I checked out Earl Johnson Park. The first thing I noticed about Earl Johnson Park was the fact that no one else was here. I had gotten my first Vaccine Shot recently. Though I brought my mask with me just in case, I figured I wouldn’t be
While getting food, I found a park nearby. So I set out to Elizabeth “Betty” Wolfe Park to see what made this park different from others. Elizabeth “Betty” Wolfe Park is split into two distinct areas. I did not get many pictures of the first part at all. This is because the front area is a large playground. And since
As promised, I visited Jacksonville Drew Park after my slight detour. Right near one of my other adventures, I wondered how this place would hold up to its neighbor. Jacksonville Drew Park has one major feature I have seen at other parks. This place is first and foremost, a series of baseball fields. As Covid 19 still is in control
I know I said that I was going to explore the park near the last one I visited. But I was compelled to go watch the sun rise at Jacksonville Beach. While I was there, I saw Oceanfront Park one block away and decided to check it out. Oceanfront Park is simple by design but has plenty to look at.
After another long pause, I finally got a chance to go exploring again. This time my destination was Lovelace Park. I found even more than I thought I would. Look! Its my shadow. I exist. Anyway, it was a perfect day to explore. You can by the sky. Lovelace Park was peaceful and quiet too. Barely a soul here. A
Covid 19 is still a looming threat in the United States. So I cautiously went to Huffman Boulevard Park to knock another small section of the world off my wanderlust bucket list. Huffman Boulevard Park was much more crowded than the last place I explored. Most importantly a large part of the playground was in use. Besides the fact that
