I love how clean and serene this park is. I found myself walking all the paths and appreciating the beauty of nature. The park has cute benches under Big Beautiful trees that give the perfect shade and I felt a cool breeze despite the very hit day. I also saw a metal shelter with picnic tables and grills, a pond and everything was just perfect. I sat in several places and Prayed to God and was happy to enjoy this park and breathe fresh air in! So many things to do here just use your imagination! Hike, picnic, fish, run, photo shoot, play ball.. Really love this place!

I like the place. Kids can play in the wooded part that you can see from the benches. They also have a decent hill the kids can run and roll down. The playground is decent size with a kids rock wall, monkey bars, sings for babies to teen, ect. If your a Pokémon Go player this park is also a good spot for raids and meeting lots of ppl with the same hobby.

Richard L. Ray was a civic-minded individual, a visionary leader, and a statesman committed to enhancing Jacksonville's quality of life. The Labyrinth at Richard Ray All-America Park is an innovative design, not a maze. Follow the single winding path from the edge to the center for a reflective walking experience. A substantial portion of the 7-acre site is dedicated to the Gardens of the States, showcasing horticultural examples from seven regions of the United States. The pathways and kiosks are intentionally designed for educational purposes. The adjacent "The Commons" area features award-winning ball fields, tennis courts, soccer fields, playground, and gymnasium. Other notable amenities include two water fountains, an outdoor amphitheater, a Playstation for kids, dog-walking paths, isolated benches, and, YES, they have restrooms. A long stretch of sidewalks. I can get 6000 or more steps. 👍

Cute little walking area. Has baseball parks nearby, a recreation center, and a park for children. Lovely place to walk with your loved one or dog.

Love this park. I always go here when I wanna get outside its so pretty. My husband loves the calisthenics area and I love going to the pond to sit down and read. I also feel safe coming here alone which is a big plus for me. Highly recommend this place.
