Introduction

Hanna Park, Jacksonville, February 2008

Even though everyone was sick, we were desparate to get out of the house. Hanna Park is only 5 miles away from us. Not only does it have a beach, but it also has freshwater lakes, and wooded campsites. We will definately make more use of the park this summer.

"Hanna Park`s 60-acre freshwater lake is perfect for fishing, kayaking, paddle boats, and canoes. Lakeside picnic tables and grills are available, and scenic trails surround the lake and wind through the lush green forest. The lake area includes a quarter-acre water playground with colorful fountains and playful water-squirting devices."
