About the Business
The Clarke House Park, located at 1039 Kingsley Avenue in Orange Park, Florida, is a historic and charming institution that offers a variety of amenities for visitors to enjoy. The park is home to the Clarke House, a beautifully preserved historic building listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Originally built in the early 1900s by William Clarke, the house now serves as a meeting place for the Orange Park Historical Society.
In addition to the Clarke House, the park features a large playground, sand volleyball court, nature trails, gardens, a lake, pavilions, grills, restrooms, and numerous picturesque oak trees. It is a popular spot for birthday parties, family events, and gatherings. The park's pavilions are available for rent in 3-hour blocks year-round, with online reservation options.
The history of the Clarke family adds an interesting layer to the park's story. William Clarke, a Civil War veteran and immigrant from England, settled in Jacksonville and established a successful business. His son, Bill, grew up in the area and eventually took over his father's business. The Clarke family's legacy is deeply intertwined with the development of Orange Park and its community.
Visitors to Clarke House Park can explore the rich history of the area, enjoy the beautiful surroundings, and make lasting memories with friends and family. Whether you're looking to host an event, relax in nature, or learn more about the local heritage, Clarke House Park offers something for everyone.
Reviews
"I really love this park! It has so many options for kids to play on. The shade isn't bad, but there isn't a ton of it. Also this place doesn't have a ton of parking in the front so we end up in the very back which isn't the best when you have a toddler that doesn't want to leave when it's time to go! To speak more on that, this place is also always so busy and crowded. Be mindful if you have shy kids or kids that have triggers."
"The variety of activities here is unlike any other park in Jax including sunshine. So fun, especially the Zipline swings."
"One of the best parks in Jax. Right up there with Sunshine Park at the beaches. I especially love that the land and historic house have been preserved here. There are bathrooms, grills, pavillions to rent for events, and a camellia garden, along with so many unique features in the playground. Tons of rope obstacles, different variations of swings and ziplines, and a rocking boat type thing (not pictured, sorry)"
"Pretty park! So many things to do and space to play for bigger kids + younger. There's a pathway around it to that's soft flooring and not cement which I love since it makes it more safe for my clumsy toddler. Also that it's completely fenced in besides the entrance is a plus. Bathrooms are nice and close by the park + there's a lot of parking spots. Tons of picnic tables under cover too. My kids favorite park in Jax!"
"What a great park! It has something for every age and every body. There are walking trails through the forest area, benches by the lake, and gikkos throughout the park. They have three covered areas with seating that can be rented, as well as a sand volleyball area. The playground is outstanding. Every child can enjoy, and there's SO MUCH to enjoy!! It was a 30-minute drive for us, and we're definitely going back."
