Memorial Park
Memorial Park was created by the people of Jacksonville to honor the 1,220 Floridians who gave their lives during World War I. Dedicated on Christmas Day in 1924, the park quickly became one of the city’s crown jewels. Designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers landscape architecture firm, Memorial Park sits along the banks of the St. Johns River in the heart of historic Riverside.
Today, the park remains a vibrant gathering place, surrounded by one of Jacksonville’s most beloved neighborhoods. Within walking distance, visitors can enjoy a thriving restaurant district, explore the world-class Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens, or browse the popular Riverside Arts Market. On sunny days—which are plentiful in Jacksonville—the park comes alive with activity. Anglers cast their lines into the St. Johns from the balustrades, while walkers, runners, and cyclists weave through the park along its wide pathways.
