Washington Oaks Gardens State Park

It's the only thing you're allowed to take from the park. 🙃

All these people who say no, haven't been to the picnic area. There is a nice playground with nearby restrooms, picnic pavilion and scattered picnic tables under the live oaks

Yes, there are lots of picnic tables, some covered and on a concrete slab. There's also restrooms and a playground by the picnic tables.

Washington Oaks Gardens State Park is open for day use activities (8am to sunset) based on limited capacity and is subject to closure once capacity has been reached. Visitors should expect limited hours, capacity and amenities during this time. ​Restroom availability may be limited beachside. If you visit us, please remember to check the Safety Updates webpage and practice social distancing during your visit. Visitors are expected to maintain distances of at least six (6) feet apart and limit group size to ten (10) or fewer people. To reduce risk, cash transactions are limited to exact change.

Only in designated areas but excludes the beach

Don't know but you will enjoy it anyway

There are several trails throughout the park however, they are not paved. They are considered hiking trails.

Not 100% sure if this is allowed at the garden, however, the garden has a trail that connect with a rest/picnic area with lot of gazebo & grills. This gardens is wonderfull.

If you call ahead could be opened for you

Yes you can bring dogs. They must be leashed and this is only around the park. Dogs are not allowed on the beach and or in the big tree garden. But you can walk the dog around the park.

I checked their website (washingtonoaks.org) but it doesn't specify. You can call them at 386-446-6783. I just checked another site and found that the park is open from 8am to sundown, 365 days a year. Enjoy!

I know others have been married there but of course you have to set a date with them.

Of course!! It's BEAUTIFUL

Yes. Not as much Coquina was exposed last time we were there, but it was still pretty cool.

A lot are still there they are burried under new fill sand

Katron, yes there are some fishing docks on the part of the park that backs into the intracoastal waterway.

It's a short and easy walk.

You just follow a path go through the Rose Garden follow the path all the way around it's at the very back and it's not really the ocean you were on the you can probably see the ocean but it's the matanzas river I think that's there and the intercoastal

Its open but you cannot walk down to the beach unless you use the entrance in the rv camping

No. But there are a few campgrounds a couple miles south of here.

I did not see any on the beach side.

The garden is mostly paved. There are dome steps without a wheelchair accessible entrance,but that is in the rose garden. The rest are flattened dirt.

When I was there Monday signs were posted saying plant sales were suspended temporarily.

Unfortunately, plant sales are currently postponed until further notice. Please refer to www.washingtonoaks.org/events.html for any updates or changes.

Unfortunately, you are not permitted on Park property until the park is officially opened. Feel free to visit Marineland Beach just North of Washington Oaks. There is a public beach access and large parking area that is not gated.

Mobility scooters are permitted on the trails but keep in mind they are natural based and there may be an occasional branch or root so keep an eye out on your trek. We look forward to having you visit soon!

Mosquitos can be nuisance all year long in Florida especially at the park where we are surrounded by water. We suggest bringing bug spray if you plan to visit.

Please inquire upon entry at the Ranger Station. The best area would be at the parking lot near the Pavilion/Picnic area. We do not permit parking on the road shoulders anywhere inside the park or along the road leading to the beach. Parking is NOT permitted along A1A (Oceanhsore Blvd).

There are condos about a quarter mile north of the park. They are not cheap but they have full access to the beaches and the parks (beach side and the gardens) are well withing walking distance.
