Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park

✓ Verified 2026-summer · confirmed against the parks department

Jacksonville's flagship oceanfront park pairs a playground with a quarter-acre water playground of fountains and squirting devices renovated in 2021, all beside 1.5 miles of beach and a 60-acre lake. Wheelchair-accessible areas and an adaptive kayak launch make it one of the city's more inclusive outdoor destinations.
