Glen Myra Park

Park Overview

Glen Myra Park started life with a generous 3.5 acres spread across 20 lots, though it eventually lost 5 of those to the Haines Street expansion. It's now a clean, well-kept space in Jacksonville, Florida, where neighbors can unwind and connect.

A Bit of History

Glen Myra's story begins back in 1922 when the White House Land and Lumber Company sold 12 lots to Jacksonville for $5,800 (quite the investment for the time!).

The city expanded the park's footprint with additional acquisitions in 1940 and 1942. After years of community planning, 1993 marked a significant milestone with the construction of a community center that continues to serve residents today.

What You'll Find Here

Kids will appreciate the playground with its safe, designated area for climbing and exploring.

During Jacksonville's warmer days (and let's be honest, there are plenty), the splash pad becomes the park's star attraction. It's always nice to see children enjoying the water on hot days.
