Shipyards West Park will be a world-class riverfront park inclusive of complimentary amenities that will provide the missing link between Riverfront Plaza and Metropolitan Park. Currently in the design phase by Agency Landscape + Planning, the 10-acre park space is home to the USS Orleck and the future Jacksonville Fire Museum. When complete, the destination space will allow users to explore nature, learn about the city’s history, and honor the city’s heroes while enjoying a meal with friends, fishing, kayaking, or simply taking in the beauty of the St. Johns River.
McCoy’s Creek Park at One Riverside Ave will include approximately two acres of riverfront public park space along McCoy’s Creek. The project supports the completion of the McCoy’s Creek Restoration and Resiliency Project and enhances the adjacent One Riverside Ave private development.
Features of the park include a natural bank along the creek on the park side, the Emerald Trail multi-use path on the west side of the creek, and a pedestrian bridge crossing the creek mid-park. The park will be accessible from Riverside Avenue as well as the Northbank Riverwalk.
