Friendship Park

Jacksonville, Florida has a long history dating from early Native American settlers to the present. To honor some of the more important aspects of history the city has parks, statues, fountains and more. Friendship Park is most popular due to its Friendship Fountain. The fountain shoots 120 feet into the air like a geyser. On a hot summer day it can be the right place to be to cool off.

At night the lights turn the water red, green and amber. It is a sort of light show with water. The park provides picnic areas with lawn space. Visitors can lay out in the sun in the grass and enjoy a warm Florida day. They can also play sports, hold family events, and just enjoy nature with their family and friends.

On 4th of July the park is filled with residents and visitors to the city. They sit on the lawn, have parties and wait for the fireworks display that is set up over the city. The park is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no charge or parking fee. Friendship Park and Fountain is located at 1025 Gulf Life Drive.
