Park History
Beach and Peach Urban Park is located in the Southside Estates area of southeast Jacksonville between Anders and Beach Boulevards. Ernest and Evelyn Anders began developing the Southside Estates neighborhood in 1945, and Beach Boulevard opened in December 1949. The city’s Preservation Project Jacksonville, with the help of its partner The Trust For Public Land, acquired the property in 2002; and a grant received from the state’s Florida Communities Trust (FCT) program was later applied to the purchase price. The name of the park, which contains a five-acre pond, derives from nearby Beach Boulevard and Peach Drive. After input from the community and preparation of a master plan, development of the park began in March 2007 and was completed in September 2007.
2014 JAXPARKS GeoChallenge:
The City of Jacksonville has teamed up with The Friends of Jax Parks to bring you the third 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.

Disclaimer to New Geocachers:
Please join us in playing! All are welcome who observe and obey the rules. Please do not move or vandalize the container. Replace the cache like or better than you found it and when you leave, make sure the cache is completely covered. The real treasure is just finding the container and sharing your thoughts with everyone who finds it.
