Very cool. They have a painted river below the bridges.

Walk Across Tiny Bridges

This park is much more than just five bridges. It's a Cancer Survivors Park with a sculpture by Victor Salmones. We were told several times that in real life Jacksonville has seven bridges. No idea if there are plans to add replicas of the Hart or Buckman bridges to the park.

Cancer Survivors Park is a franchise visible in other cities as well. The tiny bridges are unique to Jacksonville.

Miniature Replica Bridges

Jacksonville is known as "The River City" because the St. Johns River runs through it. Five bridges in Jacksonville cross the river, and a downtown park has small versions of all five that you can walk on across a miniature St. Johns River. The miniature bridges are even painted the same colors as the real bridges.

The bridges are the Mathews Bridge, the Dames Point Bridge, the Fuller Warren Bridge, the Acosta Bridge, and the Main Street (John T. Alsop) Bridge.
