The property was originally owned by John Hunter, a retired Jacksonville Sheriff’s Officer. The park is named after his daughter, who died protecting her nephew from a drunk driver. Cuba Hunter Park's 10,000 sq. ft. skateboard facility has great features including a six-foot half pipe, a seven-foot quarter pipe, jump boxes, multiple rails, and a bank ramp with a partial pyramid.
Whether you want to "street skate" using the rails and boxes or "vert" skate on the half and quarter pipes, this skateboard park has it all. Smooth cement and sturdy steel construction rank this site with other top city-owned skateboard parks across the country. Skaters are required to wear protective equipment and obey posted safety rules. Cuba Hunter Park Skateboarder
Cuba Hunter Park also includes two playscapes, a multi-use athletic field, a one-quarter mile boardwalk winding through more than 3 ? acres of wetlands, and a covered pavilion with three picnic tables and two grills.
