San Marco is named after the St Mark square in Venice, Italy and features several mediterranean style buildings and a large fountain in the center with three lions. In fact, the three lions in the square represent the three lions in the St Mark square in Venice. As you can see the lions are dressed in pink right now to show support of breast cancer awareness. They often change the theme of the lions which really shows the support of the community and just how much we love those lions. The entire area has a unique contemporary character to it correlating to the early 1900s in Italy. Let's begin with talking about the parks. There's three main parks in San Marco. The first is the Alexandria Oaks Park. This park has a serene walking trail, plenty of room for soccer, football or a nice afternoon picnic. This is by far the largest park in San Marco and has beautiful oak trees. One of my favorite features about San Marco is the landscaping. I love all of the large oak trees engulfed with Spanish Moss. Next we stroll down to Landon Park. This one you'll want to take your kids too. There's a great children's part with swings, a large play structure and a really cool climbing structure. The next park is Southside Park. This park has four pickleball courts and eleven tennis courts, six have clay and five hard. There's also a practice court right next to it so you can practice your swing or play handball. There's actually one more park connected to San Marco called Riverfront Park. It's rightly named as it's literally on the St John's River. This park has a long strip of grass so it's really nice to stand there and watch the sunset. Some people like to go there just to check out the views or if you like to fish you might want to go there. This is definitely one of the best places to go near downtown Jacksonville.

San Marco square is the neighborhood's commercial district area. The triangular district is located at the three-way juncture of Atlantic Blvd., Hendricks Ave. and San Marco Blvd. A tiered fountain at the center of the square originally marked the convergence of these streets. In 2013, the square underwent  a major renovation which changed the direction of traffic and expanded the small park in the middle, Balis Park, into more of a green space for people to hang out in. Another cool feature in San Marco is the San Marco Theater which was built in 1938. Fun fact, San Marco Theater has been recognized by USA Today as one of the 10 Best Classic Cinemas in the United States! This theater showcases newly released movies while The Little Theatre showcases live performances and plays. Thinking about hosting an event? You can rent Preservation Hall. It's a really cute venue if you want to have a wedding, a bridal shower, a business meeting, whatever you can think of. Voted Jacksonville Magazines 2020  and 2021 Best Historic Venue. While San Marco square is home to many of the area's restaurants,  there are other restaurants around the corner. Altogether they boast a vast variety of all different types of foods.To name a few, let's start with one of my
