Building Up Jax: Lonnie Miller Park set for upgrades; JASMYN permitted for youth center

LONNIE MILLER PARK SET FOR MAJOR UPGRADES

The city is planning a major addition to Lonnie Miller Park off of Moncrief Rd.

The plans include several basketball courts, soccer fields, baseball diamonds, and tennis courts, as well as a track and larger multi-purpose field, a lengthy walking trail, and expanded parking including bicycle spaces.

The project will be completed in phases – no word on the official timeline yet.
