Great place for family fun n exercise. Great fishing spot that I frequently go to.

Great park with all kinds of activities ! Also has access yo the river.

This magnificent sunset along the banks of the St. Johns River was the highlight of my evening after two and a half days of nonstop rain. One of my favorite things about this place are the endless number of spots you can stop to take pictures as you make your way along the trail or walk along the shoreline towards the end of the pier.

Decent soccer field with some basketball goals. Used to be a lot better when it had a 9 hole golf course.

Liked it only thing is they had all the bathrooms locked n my children couldnt use them

This is a great park. The boardwalk along the river is nice. The picnic tables are uncovered so dont go on a rainy day.

Great family park! Or, you just want a nice trail walk. Or, if fishing is your thing?a very nice place for it.

Cant wait till the golf course is done, dont see anything happening on the pool. Fishing Pier is great spend a lot of time there and the board walk is a wonderful hike

Great park with a playground, open areas for field games. The shelter has electricity and the restrooms are clean. Walking trail is beautiful.

Open to the public, plenty of parking, playground, seating, and 2 large grassy fields to play on. Only downside is sometimes youll get the occasional guest thatll show up and blast offensive and disgusting music from their car without any regard to the children in the area.

Gorgeous views of river and nice well maintained paths.

The good sunset at the park at a quarter of 6 at night

The board walk is fixed-since hurricanegreat place to take a walk!

Ive been going to this park for months now and its great. Has a nice pier after going down an amazing trail, nice tennis courts, has a golf course, and a very well maintained set of soccer fields. There isnt any trash but theres tons of feces everywhere! The attractions are well cleaned but the walkways before the trail are covered in feces. Theres also no basketball court, well there is a mobile goal like the ones you see in a driveway or street. The problem is this goal is on a hill in the parking lot against the guard rails. Like have fun playing 1/4 court basketball because there is no right side, if you miss the goal then you better sprint to the ball because its rolling straight to a car downhill in the parking lot. There is an open cement section thats court length and has no poles coming out of it. I checked it out and its covered in feces, like a litter box it was everywhere. It seems the park thought about putting in a basketball goal in the court but suddenly decided not to after the concrete was finished. The portable goal they do have has an indent in the rim, like someone put the goal down and then sat on the backboard. Great park for everything but basketball. Theyll probably clean it soon hopefully. Once again this park is great and has everything else.

In the over a decade that Ive lived here in Arlington I hadnt know about this park...at all. It turned out to B a great little treat. Its right on the river next to a boat ramp. Its behind a community center that is NOT open to the public from what Ive been told BUT the public pool attached to it is...I dont know that officially tho. The park is open to the public & a nice park it is. It has quite a few areas of play that enclosed in a small, semi-fenced in area right on the rivers edge. There are also several picnic tables under a gazebo. There is a parking area & a circle drop off point. I didnt notice, Im sorry to say, the bathroom situation. 1 thing that I will warn patrons w/children about is that the pier that is attached to the park has an open side to it meaning 1 side has guard railings of some kind to keep people from falling in to the river...the other side has none. I dont know why that is but I would HIGHLY advise holding childrens hands & NOT letting them run around while on the pier. Other then that...a great park!!!

I love Blue Cypress Park. Its a nice area right on the river. Beautiful sunsets. When I was a child there were camps held here and they were always amazing. Theres a pool a golf course and a fishing area.

Love this place

The beauty isnt just by the park. Follow the concrete path to the river and youll see. Best sight ever.

I was there to vote. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Enjoyed put time out until there was a puppy out without a leash...the park os super clean and full of greenery. Open to walk, explore and enjoy the fresh air.

Good place with lots to do..... When theres not a million people on the fields that is. Great place to bring the kids and a freshwater reel. The golf course is open but better to explore nature with the kids.

The Cuban, fried pickles, and fried mushrooms. Get them and complete your life.

The park is big, with a 9 hole golf course, soccer fields, and more. You can walk (or drive) to the St. Johns River; where theres a newly fixed boardwalk. Thats a lot of fun for the family. The playground itself is small, and over all the park just feels neglected. Its sad really because it could be a great place.

Nature at its best.... #ptpjax

I love this park! Beautiful view of the river and good fenced in area to let your dog play.

Beautiful, scenic, serene....nice place to go to to relax, meditate, exercise, or just watch the dolphins, otters, (yes, otters!) Or just catch a sunset.

The boardwalk is beautiful. had a great time walking Riverside and saw dolphins en masse!

There are paved trails and unpaved trails that meander accross the landscape. The paved trails, at last part of them, used to be the cart path for the golf fairways.Currently there is a community center, restrooms, a playground, tennis courts and football/futbol fields all at the park.The first trail you meet on the way in parallels a handful of old fairways and is paved. It culminates in a fishing pier. There is a boardwalk that follows the river and eventually connects to the neighboring Lions Club Park, however, it was damged by either hurrican Matthew or Irma, or both and is closed off, hopefully only temporarily. Several ponds and marsh areas wind there way alongside the paths. Game trails can be spotted throughout.

Very nice it could use some cleaning up on the landscaping

Blue Cypress Park was Awesome! A good friend of mine asked Me to go fishing with him today, & I almost said No! Ha! (This guy always goes to the beach to fish. I LOVE the beach, yet I certainly wasnt in the mood to go there today!) He asked Me if I knew of any good places to go to that wouldnt be very crowded. After telling him about Blue Cypress Park, he was flying to Me! After grabbing his fishing gear, I told him where to go, & it was Great!!! This place is right next to an apartment complex I lived in years ago, & its right next to Jacksonville University!!! It has large soccer fields, Good golf practice area, a pretty nice 9-hole golf course, a really nice hiking trail (short, yet good & beautiful walking trail truly,) & very nice fishing areas! Great little BBQ/Grilling areas around it with tables as well! All right along the Beautiful St Johns River!!! Everyone, swing over to it, & Everybody will have a Great time!!! Yall Enjoy It!!!William T

Favorite park in the Arlington area for walking. Or just a nice place to takes the kids to ta play.

My first visit to the trails I plan to return its a little cooler golf courses under rebuild and the park needs a little more maintenance

Great relaxing place!

A great and fun place where one can do a large varietie of cool things such as fishing, hiking or playing football.

Fun place to fish and beautiful scenery for the picture takers

Right around the corner from my house, this gem had a great playground and excellent walking trails that lead to a dock on the St. Johns. Only thing Id love to improve would be to add some trees to the playground area, so its more shady in the summer.

Now that ramps have been fixed its a great place to walk along the river. On good days the dog takes a swim

Lovely large park. Great for soccer, walking, or seeing animals with your little ones. Lots of geese, fish, and turtles.There is a small area with a few climbing structures and slides.Biggest complaint is lack of trees. Not really any shade, and in Florida that stinks.

Well fenced from the public road, fishing area available, facilitys for public use are available, lots of room to walk and run, very clean, tons of parking. I believe the ducks and geese know they have right of way. Be careful entering and leaving enterence to the main road, traffic is a safety hazard!

Blue Cypress Park is a wonderful park located in the Arlington area of Jacksonville off of University Boulevard north. it offers a great outdoor family experience . It has walking trails, is actually a golf course , has tennis courts. its a great place for beginners to come and mess around with golfing. There are great paved walking trails, also unpaved that scurt around the St. Johns River. a fishing pier and kayak launch. Park for kids to play, open fields for sporting activities. Blue Cypress Park is another Jewel in the city of Jacksonville.

I enjoy spending time with my thoughts walking here.

Great park, must visit if you just want to relax and unwind.

Nice walking paths

Great park

Sundays are good for food and soccer watching. Tennis courts, golf course, soccer fields, future community pool, kids park, and bathroom facilities available.

Not large, but for as small as it is it has some nice amenities. Soccer fields, tennis courts, a walking path that has stops with suggestive exercises, kids playground, restrooms and a few nice places for a picnic around a couple of small pond.

Soccer time my lil Ranaldo!

Very relaxing and clean walking area. Family friendly and spacious play area. Not a lot of shade.

My favorite park as a parent/ couple. My fiance and I walk around the small lake to see the cranes/ducks. There are a couple of picnic benches near the kids park to have a snack and my toddler loves the slides. Its normally not full and sometimes youll see people training or bigger kids playing but its got a good vibe. The fishing dock is nice too, its a bit to walk but a quick drive, its a pier I often see people fishing at. Its also close to a library so thats fun

Was beautiful and peaceful! Looking forward to going again soon.

The City of Jacksonville is too piss poor to properly maintain waterfront parks. Over 18 months after Hurricane Irma, not one pier, boardwalk, or dock has been repaired, AT ALL! But they can spend millions of dollars planting unnecessary palm trees along roads in wealthy neighborhoods.Secondly, if they quit waisting money on cheap contractors throwing up cheap, poorly constructed, wood boardwalks and docks and start using stronger, more durable concrete, aluminum, and composite materials, they would not have to keep replacing entire structures EVERY TIME a storm blows harder than 70 mph!We need smarter and less corrupt government officials in Jacksonville and smarter citizens who actually care enough to hold them accountable!

A beautiful park. Kept mostly free of litter and garbage. It has lots of sports areas like tennis, soccer, and basketball. Also a few fishing spots, piers, and I saw at least 1 boat launch, but there might be more boat launches in the park. Theres also a lot of beautiful walking trails, and places to sit and watch the sunset on the river. 1 of my favorite things to see out here is the Ft. Caroline pod of dolphins that come stay in this part of the St. Johns river. The pod usually has between 25-50 dolphins. Its fun to watch them play in the river, especially when they have their adorable babies with them. If you rent a kayak/canoe its fun to go on the river right there. The dolphins come right up to the canoe and look you right in the eye barely 2 feet from the kayak. Close enough to reach out and pet their head if they let you. Theyve dont let you touch them, as they are wild dolphins, and are very protective of their babies. Stay far away from the babies, and only visit with the adult dolphins. They will duck under, if you try to pet them, but pop back up and continue watching you curiously. They are friendly and seem to really like it if you talk or sing to them. Its an amazing and soul fulfilling experience to look a wild dolphin in the eyes. They have very big, beautiful, soulful, deep, brown eyes.

Nice area with golf, fishing, walking, wildlife, etc. Storm and age damage is apparent. Lots of open spaces and trails. Easy to find off University blvd. Plenty of parking. Nice place in a beautiful area.

Great place for whole family

My kids love this place,

Nice sports complex. Beautiful grassy open fields for all outdoor sports.

I enjoy walking with my fiance in a clean safe environment. Blue cypresss park is the most stress relieve park !

I love this park and all the trails, but its ashame all the trash thats left behind by all of the soccer players! You all should be ashamed of yourselves! There are literally 20 trash cans in the field, so theres no excuse.

This park was littered with trash and beer bottles. The bathrooms were stinky and very unclean and flooded with water and urine. This was one of the worst parks I have ever been to and it was my first soccer game ever.

This is a nice park. They also have a nice community center. I wish the city would invest in fixing this park up.

This place is horrible and the inside of the building is disgusting. They need to close this place down, never rent here for any event.

Beautiful scenery. Great place to have any social gathering.

Family fall Picnic. Enjoyed my family, great weather and clean restrooms.

For real, this is a very special place to visit. I enjoyed everything there and everybody can be surprised.

Peaceful, nice area for walking the dogs. Plenty of trees and shade.

I play tennis there. They keep it nice but a few more courts would be nice.

Love flying here. Great for that and dog waking and just about whatever you want.

Wish theyd fix the dock, hope they leave the golf course to become a nature park, other then that its a great place to visit and walk the dog

Very quiet wasnt satisfied about the Fishing Pier need to be repair ASAP

Relaxing with nice walking space. Can be a little cleaner.

Is a good place to go fishing

Quiet and peaceful and most importantly CLEAN!

Been twice still havent catch any fish. Went around the corner to the pier and its closed.

I didnt know this place existed!

Good place that we came across.

I love these trails, they are so peaceful at night

Calming winds

Wonderful park for the family

Awesome place with multyiple things to do, park for dogs, golf corse, playground with public restrooms and grills, tennis court and even nature trails! Loved it and visit there every morning with my pups. I would highly recommend to anyone who likes the outdoors

I love this place

Very peaceful

Nice park with lots of options for recreation; however, it was not very well kept up. There was lots of trash lying around.

Nice park but Restroom is bad

Very nice park n clean!

Great hidden dock on the river, good parking, nice small dock, restrooms are up front at entrance, clean, BBQ grills & picnic tables are at the entrance as well, it has afternoon shade around the tables

Had a blast

Soccer fields here are okay, big dirt patches. Bathrooms are poorly maintained.

Wonderful fishing pier and hiking trails.

Nice trails to take a nature hike and the fishing pier is a great place to watch ships go by.

A quiet park with a nice trail and fishing dock. I visit frequently.

Not open any more

Played tennis there. Court & net in good condition. Wind screens also good.

Love it

We had a blast out here for our ministry picnic. There is plenty of room to set up several games, grills, etc.

Rating it a 2 star currently. So much trash and debris throughout property. Not a safe place to go with children. Playground equipment has issues and the river walk is just in shambles. Since the private golf course shut down on site. The park has decreased more in curb appeal and resources. Come on City of Jacksonville!

They have a nice trail to go walking. Tennis court is well kept and so is the field. the golf course is alright.

I will be there at the same time as the other one is a little more than I can say

Big Park , Even has river walk down by river , 9 hole golf course as well !

It was fun...alone It was pretty good for a walk or any exercises.

Beautiful pier by the Saint Johns River. Lovely walking trails and community center. I love walking my dogs here.
