In partnership with JaxParks and City of Jacksonville, Florida We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Friendship Fountain Visitor Experience Survey!

This survey is designed to gather your valuable feedback on your experiences at Friendship Fountain, including what you have enjoyed and what can be improved.

The overall aim of the Jacksonville Riverfront is to become a “Riverfront for All,” a place for everybody in Jacksonville to come together and enjoy the majestic St. Johns River through recreation, nature, arts and culture, dining and shipping, festivals and events, and more.  Exciting plans are funded and underway including the 2023 opening of Friendship Fountain.

The Riverfront Parks Conservancy is a 501c3 nonprofit organization formed to support the emerging downtown parks and riverwalk through a “Friends of the Park” agreement with the City of Jacksonville’s Parks & Recreation Department. The Conservancy model is common in successful urban park systems across the country and is an outgrowth of the Jessie Ball duPont Fund’s Riverfront Activation Study and benchmarking conducted by Riverfront Parks Now.

In addition to riverfront parks, projects that will complement our emerging riverfront include Groundwork Jacksonville’s Emerald Trail and McCoys and Hogan’s creek restorations, MOSH, the USS Orleck, and private residential, office and hotel developments such as the Four Seasons, RiversEdge, One Riverside, and more. See development updates provided by Build Up Downtown and 1st Downtown Jacksonville.

So many events, activities, and things are happening in downtown Jacksonville each week. A great place to find information, including where to park, is through the Downtown Jacksonville website and weekly newsletter from Downtown Vision.
