Ringhaver Park

Ringhaver Park is located in southwest Jacksonville. The park is named for Lambert C. Ringhaver (1910-1976), whose family made a memorial donation for the initial park development, which grew from 36 acres in 1977 to 576 acres in 2003. Mr. Ringhaver was the founder of Ring Power Corp., and served as president of the Florida Forestry Association, as a trustee of Jacksonville University, and as president of the Greater Jacksonville Open for two terms. The multi-use park is home to the Westside Soccer Club and the Ortega Stream Valley nature area, which contains an 826-foot boardwalk along the Ortega River and a pier that may be used for launching kayaks and canoes, and a hiking trail. A new pickleball court was installed July 2022, and new playgrounds were recently installed.
