Cecil Recreation Complex takes over the closed jet base
2000
Jacksonville, Florida
The city answered the loss of the base by putting a public recreation campus on part of it. The 25 million dollar project came out of the 2000 Better Jacksonville Plan and was laid out to reach about 1,500 acres under the parks department. The playing fields and arenas sit on ground the Navy used to fly jets off.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
