About the Venue

Godfrey Park Splash Pad is the water-play component of South Jacksonville's play-for-all park. It is especially appealing for mixed-ability family outings because the splash pad sits within a park designed for broad access and family play. The seasonal hours are more limited than many splash pads, so this one works best for families who plan ahead and want an accessible community-park option.
