Deerwood Rotary Childrens Park

Deerwood Rotary Children's Park is a public recreational area located in the Southside neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. The park was dedicated to the City of Jacksonville on April 20, 2001, as a result of a collaborative effort between the Deerwood Rotary Club, the City of Jacksonville, and private developers.

This park was specifically designed with the purpose of providing equal access for handicapped and disabled children, making it a unique and inclusive space in the community. The Deerwood Rotary Club played a significant role in conceptualizing the park and provided partial funding for its development. The park's creation involved a civic, public, and private partnership, demonstrating a community-wide effort to create a space accessible to all children.

Deerwood Rotary Children's Park features colorful and distinctive playground equipment, catering to children of various ages and abilities. The park's design emphasizes accessibility, ensuring that children with disabilities can enjoy the facilities alongside their peers. This focus on inclusivity makes the park a valuable asset to the Jacksonville community, providing a space where all children can play together regardless of their physical capabilities.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on September 28, 2001, marking the official opening of the park to the public. Since then, it has served as a popular destination for families in the Southside area of Jacksonville, offering a safe and welcoming environment for children to play and socialize.
