Forest View Park

A Bit of History

Forest View Park has been a neighborhood fixture since 1957, when the Harborview section of northwest Jacksonville first began to take shape. This green space has evolved alongside the community it serves, with notable upgrades as recently as 2004 that expanded what the park has to offer to locals looking for some outdoor time. It sits south of Soutel Drive, making it easy to find for anyone in the area.

What You'll Find Here

The park offers plenty of space to spread out with generous open green areas great for throwing a frisbee, having a picnic, or simply lounging with a good book. If you're more into structured activities, you'll appreciate the designated areas for sports and fitness that make it easy to stay active close to home.

The Heart of the Park

At the center of it all stands the community center - a true neighborhood hub where local events and programs bring residents together. It's this center that really cements Forest View Park's role as more than just a green space, but a gathering place that helps knit the Harborview community together.
