Huffman Boulevard Park is a 14.85-acre public recreational area located in the Arlington neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida, approximately half a mile north of Beach Boulevard. The park features a mix of natural and developed spaces, characterized by sandy, well-drained soils and native vegetation including live oak, turkey oak, and pine trees. The understory consists of saw palmetto and natural grasses, providing a glimpse of Florida's natural landscape.

The park offers a variety of recreational facilities for visitors of all ages. A key feature is the playground area, which includes sea-themed equipment designed to engage children's imaginations. The playground is partially shaded, offering some protection from the Florida sun, and includes both toddler and regular swings to accommodate different age groups.

For sports enthusiasts, Huffman Boulevard Park provides multiple athletic facilities.
