We are returning to the Riverside Park in 5 points, where we held JaxPPD back in 2011-2012! This lovely park has a playground, duck pond, dog park, and lots of grass and trees. Parking can be tricky in 5 points, so we suggest carpooling to the event! The Riverside Arts Market will also be on the same day a few blocks away, so we hope you will check out both free community events!
