Come and see if you can spot some manatees in Julington Creek at Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park (formerly Mandarin Park)! Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park includes picnic tables and shelters, which can be rented for the day. You can play games such as pickleball, shuffleboard, or tennis at the courts toward the front of the park. Kids will enjoy the modern pirate/water-themed playground on site (upgraded in 2025). There is a dock next to the boat ramp where you can enjoy fishing, catch the sunset, or try to spot fish and manatees. Launch or land your boat here from Julington Creek - there is plenty of parking for cars and trailers. Love kayaking? The park has a fully-accessible, modern BoardSafe Adaptive Kayak Launch. Even if you don't have your own watercraft, there is a self-service paddle board rental kiosk that was installed in 2024 near the non-motorized launch. As mentioned, manatee sightings are possible - a manatee zone exists near the shore. Take a walk around and enjoy the beauty of Tommy Hazouri Sr. Park in Jacksonville, FL.
