Jacksonville Parks – Jacksonville, also known as the City of Parks, is home to one of the largest urban park systems in the United States. Each park offers different amenities, ranging from boating to playgrounds and everything in between. Local Jacksonville movers suggest using the city’s Park Search to locate the perfect park that fits your interests.
St. Johns River – After moving to Jacksonville, you should paddle a kayak out onto the St. Johns River, one of the world’s few rivers that flows north. Although kayaking this beautiful waterway will be serene, you’re sure to burn calories and tone your arms while doing it.
Downtown Jacksonville – If you’re a runner (or walker), challenge yourself by running any of the five bridges located in Downtown Jacksonville. Both the Main Street Bridge and the Acosta Bridge also have bike lanes, so you’ll have no excuse not to exercise one way or another in Downtown Jacksonville.
Jacksonville Beach – For the avid swimmers out there, take your swimming from the pool to the sea after moving to Jacksonville. Water temperatures are suitable pretty much year round, and the white sandy beaches are a perfect place to stop and rest after completing your workout.
