Flossie Brunson Eastside Park

Play & Sports Areas

Flossie Brunson Eastside Park features a baseball field where local teams often gather for games and practice. Basketball enthusiasts can shoot some hoops on the two basketball courts - great for a friendly game with neighbors or practicing those three-pointers.

If you've got little ones in tow, they'll love the playground equipment where they can climb, slide, and let their imaginations run wild. When Jacksonville's famous heat kicks in, the splash pad becomes the place to be, offering a refreshing escape for children (though keep in mind it's not open year-round). The park's multi-use field gives you plenty of space for everything from frisbee games to community gatherings.

Rest & Relax

Need a break from all that activity? The park's picnic areas provide perfect spots to catch your breath and enjoy some outdoor dining. These spaces have become natural gathering points where families connect and neighbors catch up over shared meals.

Spread across 7.4 acres, this public green space is an important recreational area for the Eastside community. You'll come across restroom facilities available throughout your visit, however you might want to note that seating can be somewhat limited in certain areas of the park.

History & Community

The park bears the name of Flossie Brunson, a dedicated community activist who championed the rights of Eastside residents during the early 1900s.

Today, the park regularly hosts events that bring neighbors together. And yes, your furry friends are welcome too - the park is pet-friendly, so the whole family can enjoy an outing together.

Visitor Tips

The park hosts various events and activities throughout the year. If you're planning to drive, parking is available, but it might be tight during busy periods or special events.
