It's official. Spring is finally here. The pollen is out. The birds are chirping and the weather is absolutely gorgeous! Another way to signify spring, the Fifth Annual "Get Out There Celebration". This is a free city event to help persuade people to visit one or many of Jacksonville's gorgeous parks.
In case you didn't know, Jacksonville is home to the nation's LARGEST urban park system. The city launched this event five years ago to offer a taste to all ages of Jacksonville's abundant park system.
The event starts today from 10 am. to 10 pm at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park and at 500 Wonderwood drive, Atlantic beach.
