History of Lew Brantley Park
The groundbreaking for this 90 acre park was held on February 21, 2003. A large portion of this park will help preserve the environmentally sensitive area around McGirts Creek. At the completion of construction in March 2007, the park includes a community center, basketball courts, playground, picnic areas, trails, three youth baseball fields and two soccer fields. A highlight of the park is the "Field of Dreams" Miracle League field, where special needs children are able to experience playing in their own baseball league. Concieved by the West Jacksonville Rotary and funded by private donations, Lew Brantley Field was dedicated in May 2007. Park was named Lew Brantley Park in March 2011 from McGirts Creek Park. 

2013 JAXPARKS GeoChallenge:
The City of Jacksonville has teamed up with The Cache Station and The Friends of Jax Parks to bring you the second annual The JaxParks GeoChallenge. This year, the Friends of Jax Parks have hidden 30 new caches that will let you explore a diverse selection of parks around Jacksonville.

Geocaching is an outdoor adventure game similar to a treasure hunt played with a GPS device. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, take a trinket from the cache, leave something of greater or equal value in return for the next person and then share your experiences online. There are over two million active geocaches around the world and now with the JAXPARKS GeoChallenge you can explore Jacksonville's parks.
