It is part of a network of parks that parallel Hogan's Creek. HistoryConfederate Park was opened in 1907 as Dignan Park, named for a former chairman of the city's Board of Public Works. It was the first Jacksonville city park to include a playground.[1] In 1914, Jacksonville hosted the annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, with estimated attendance of about 8,000 former Confederate soldiers. The UCV chose the park as the location for a new monument to honor the Women of the Southland, and five months after the reunion the city renamed the park "Confederate Park." Florida's Tribute to the Women of the Confederacy, a monument/ststue, was erected in 1915. The Confederate Playground east of Confederate Park was originally a part of Confederate Park, but was used for military training during World Wars I and II. It is now a dog park.[2] GalleryReferences1. ^Urban Parks: Confederate Park, Metro Jacksonville website 2. ^City of Jacksonville, Department of Recreation and Community website External links
