St Augustine Rd. Ponds Stetson Road, Jacksonville, FL 32207

"I used to come here regularly about 10 years ago when I lived in the area. My son wanted to go fishing so I decided to take him here as this used to be such a great spot just to unwind and catch some fish. The large pond is so overgrown now you can hardly throw a line out. The little pond is just trashed, it’s such a shame to see this place so neglected now. Before you would see fish all over the place but now only a few. I highly doubt they actually stock it anymore and the feeders I don’t think work just by looking at them. I used to have a great time here fishing here and thought I’d be able to recreate that with my son but we left after about an hour of not being able to find a spot from the bank to fish. FWC and whoever is in control of maintaining this park should be ashamed of themselves."

"Awesome place close to town and you can actually like it a close to nature and kind of way from people but you know there's definitely people that come through there constantly but it's okay. The only thing that sucks is sometimes some of the people out there act like you know they are in the place. Definitely nice place to go and take a nap during lunch or something or birdwatcher do something like that it's pretty cool."

"It’s like being in the country in the big city! Very peaceful out here. They have gazebos and grills to use. The negative is the huge potholes everywhere. I come here and reflect on my life, as often as I can get by."

"Part of why I love this place so much is the local urban legends I've heard about it. In terms of a park, it's decently sized with a big open pond for fishing, and another slightly polluted smaller pond tucked in the front, surrounded by woods. The path is very unkempt and bumpy, so make sure your car has decent suspension or you might bump your head. The only concerns I have are the safety of this park. I have no clue if the FWC enforces anything, and I've seen my fair share of sketchy people around the park."
