JaxParks

One of the nation's leading landscape architects, William Pitkin Jr., designed Avondale, including its fifteen parks. The residential lots, tree-lined streets and parks are frequently curvilinear and often irregular in form.  The three largest parks, which reside in adjacent blocks along Edgewood Avenue, became known as Edgewood Park 1, 2, 3.  Surrounded by attractive homes, the parks contain a spacious lawn and abundant trees and contribute to the distinctive sense of place that is Avondale.
