PRESERVATION IN PROGRESS!
If you’ve been wondering why the grass looks greener on the other side (of the fence), it’s because we’ve got a preservation project in process!
The Memorial Park oval, original to the Olmsted Brothers’ design, is being re-sod for our Centennial Year Anniversary Celebration. Thanks to Memorial Park Association, Jax Parks and City of Jacksonville, we’re prepping for the Memorial Day Concert in style.
Keep off the lawn for now, but get ready to groove on Memorial Day. Stay tuned for updates as we jazz up the park!
