It would be great to leave the spot for the soccer field. There used to be pick up games for the kids on Saturdays. Do we still do them?

People complain about Palm Trees, but crepe myrtles are way over planted here. They are pretty when they bloom though.

Totally agree, but for 3 months out of the year they look like dead sticks.

In anticipation of the tree planting, the Springfield block captains have scheduled a cleanup of Hogan's Creek in Klutho Park for Saturday, June 5th at 10 am.

The plan is to meet at the parking lot at 6th and Hubbard and then head over to the creek/park near 4th and Boulevard. 

Bring waders if you have them!

All willing hands are welcomed! We often have non-resident church groups or other volunteer organizations join our clean-ups and we appreciate them all. Join us!

Klutho Park belongs to the entire city of Jacksonville - please join us for the cleanup on June 5th if you're able - we need and would appreciate your help!

A lot of the really tall Washingtonian Palms in the city were killed by the severe winters of the late 70s.

Can someone tell me if anything's being done about the Fire Ant situation here?? My wife & I (with our kid) were meeting some people from outta town over at the park (with their kid) & it was literally swarming with them, esp around the 3rd street section of the park. We didn't end up going in.

Its not a new thing either. I've noticed them month after month over there, its just this time was really really bad. I know its FL & these things are sorta everywhere, but I've never seen them this consistently bad at any other parks in town.

you could file a CARE request with the city..................not sure what else to do...contact SPAR???
