  • Fake gold replaced real at Arlington Gold Buyers store July 16, 2010

Castaway Island Preserve

In between the boundaries for the Southside and Arlington areas just off of San Pablo Road between Atlantic and Beach Boulevards is a somewhat new park or preserve called Castaway Island. My mom says the entrance of the park used to be an old trailer park. Now you can go and walk the nature trails, picnic and Bar B Q, put your canoe or kayak in the Intercoastal Waterway or attend one of the nature seminars at the Information Center. Like all parks in Jacksonville it is opened from Sunrise to Sunset all year long. It is a FREE park and lovely to spend a few hours or all day. Being so close to the ocean there is almost always a nice little breeze. On the nature trails there are, of course, informational signs about the wildlife in the area.

All the Jacksonville Area Preserves are nice to visit and offer some great educational opportunities for you and your children and/or grandchildren. This one is very new, very clean with sidewalks for trails as well as wooden walkways into the bush leading out to the water areas. The floating dock is well maintained and adjusts to the incoming and outgoing tides. When we went it was low tide and you can see where the water rises up. There are lots of birds and small animals in the park. Of course, you shouldn’t feed any of the animals you might see and always keep your children close to you while visiting any of the parks or preserves.

Updates to Website

Good day to everyone. This month we have updated the website to include an acrobat reader file of public parks, public schools and day cares in the zip code areas of 32211, 32225 and 32277. The files are free to our subscribers and can be downloaded to your computer, printed or just viewed when needed. We are still gathering pictures of the area and we will be including them in slide shows on the pages they pertain to. We are always looking for volunteers to post reviews, informational tips on where to go to get the best deals on food, entertainment, festivals and more. The reviews or information must be about Jacksonville Florida’s Arlington area and must be rated ‘G’. I have opened up the photo galleries for our SUBSCRIBERS to be able to add pictures to posts and slide shows.

For those who want to become authors or contributors to the blog just sign on as a subscriber and then email us at: become_an_author@jacksonvillesarlington.info along with your subscriber ID and we will upgrade you to a contributor or author status. I’m not sure what the difference is with WORDPRESS but we will find out when we get some volunteers!

So keep checking back or just add our blog to your favorites or bookmarks. As always if you have any comments or suggestions on how we can improve our blog then please send us a comment. REMEMBER the comment area is for subscribers only however the GUESTBOOK is open to all who wish to post to it.
