Boone Park is located in the Avondale area. It runs from Park Street to Herschel and then from Herschel to St. Johns Avenue. It totals 28 acres.
The City purchased most of the property from William Elijah Boone in 1926. Mr. Boone (1853-1938) bought and then rebuilt locomotives, which he leased to local industries in North Florida and South Georgia.
The park hosted the City’s major, public tennis tournaments for decades.
Boone Park was recently renovated and has the following amenities:
• Bike Racks
• Bleachers
• Grills
• Parking
• Park Benches
• Picnic Shelters
• Picnic Tables
• Playground
• Restrooms
• Security Lighting
• Tennis Courts (Lighted)
There are playgrounds on both the St. Johns Avenue and the Park Street sides but the tennis courts, pavilions, picnic tables, and restrooms are all on the Park Street side.
