Charming Landmark
It’s definitely a place for photographers. Almost everyone there has cameras taking pictures of the old style horse stables and country home. The curved pier of the St. John’s River was stunning. It’s perfect for family outings, picnics and hangout. It would be nice if they clean up the butterfly garden a bit. It looks ignored

Old Tree Souls
My husband and I were out driving a week ago and stumbled onto this park- it was sunset so the park would be closing soon, so I thought I would just drive through. Well, we hopped out and took a short walk and knew we had to come back for further exploration! Yesterday we returned and was not disappointed! The trees are amazing- live oaks so huge it would take 5-6 adults to "hug" around the tree! Magnolias and Pecan trees too that were so old and huge~ simply breathtaking. The park is on the Julington Creek and has a pier that is covered at the end. It also has a small kayak launch, trails, picnic tables and several historic buildings. The buildings are closed to the public- boarded up or gated off. There seems to be plans for restoring them. This property is an old citrus farm. Seems to be a hot spot for photographers- lots of families, couples and people doing photo shoots on the property. For me, the trees made this park.
