Description
Adjacent to the Ortega River Bridge, Stinson Park is beautiful park located in the Ortega neighborhood on the Ortega River. This park has a number of amenities for those looking for a nice place to fish in Jacksonville or just spend the day on the river. There are a couple of picnic tables, a playgound area for the children, drinking fountain, park benches, and a floating dock. Fishing at Stinson Park, is fair; the majority of the fishing here is bank fishing. You are not able to fish off of the Ortega River Bridge itself nor are you able to fish on the floating dock. However, you can still cast a line up and around the Ortega Bridge for bass, catfish, etc. On nice days, the park gets a little crowded. There are only 16 or so parking spaces, so parking is somewhat limited. Stinson Park also offers beautiful panoramic views of downtown Jacksonville and the St. Johns River.
