Jacksonville, Fl — Construction of St. Johns County’s newest park and library is underway in Nocatee.
The Northeast Community Park will be built on 49 acres of land that was donated by the Davis Family and The PARC Group, developers of the Nocatee community.
St. Johns County Commissioners in 2024 voted on a $123 million plan to construct five regional parks and community centers.
Once open, Northeast Community Park will feature fields for baseball, softball, soccer, and multipurpose uses, pickleball and sand volleyball courts, a children’s splash pad, picnic pavilions, paved walking paths, a fishing pond and kayak dock, and a community center.
The full-service public library branch will serve the needs of the Nocatee community.
Construction is expected to be completed by the summer of 2027.
The project is funded through a combination of existing impact fees and debt issuance. No property taxes will be used to pay for construction costs.
