With 300 days of long sunshine, a coastline of over 20 mi/32 km long, inter-coastal waterways and the largest urban park system in the country, Jacksonville is a paradise and a top destination for outdoor activities and holidays all year round.

Jacksonville has hot humid summers with light thunderstorms during the afternoon hours and mild freezes during winter. The overall temperature varies from 18 to 33°C (64 to 92°F) all year round.

Kona Skatepark is a special place, operating since 1977. As it is one of the first outdoor concrete facilities in the states and home to many amazing skate boarding and BMX competitions and events, there is no question about how it has got its reputation.
