HALL’S NURSERY and

Our unique residential communities that line both sides of the St. Johns River are threaded with neighborhood parks so that most residents can find a restful public green within a few minutes’ walk from their front door. Many of these neighborhood parks, such as Willowbranch Park in Riverside, Brown L. Whatley Memorial Park or Granada Park in San Marco, are equipped with basic amenities such as benches, trash barrels, bike racks, security lighting, or playground equipment. Larger community parks such as Boone Park in Avondale or the Southside Park and Tennis Complex in San Marco will not only have benches, bike racks and trash cans, but also picnic tables, playground equipment, shelters, grills, parking, tennis courts and restrooms.

And a few specialty parks offer unique features, such as the largest fountain in the city at Friendship Fountain Park on the Southbank, or Murray Hill Arts Center at Herbert Bayer where residents can take art classes and learn to hone skills. These parks are defined by unique features. A few others include BMX courses, skateboarding facilities, remotecontrol vehicles and beachfront; something that makes them unique from other parks.
