About Hemming Park

Hemming Park, officially renamed James Weldon Johnson Park in 2020, sits at 135 Monroe St in downtown Jacksonville. This 1.5-acre public park hosts a variety of events on two outdoor performance stages, with flexible crowd layouts that may use temporary seating or open-ground configurations. The park's central location makes it a convenient hub for lunchtime programs, food trucks, live music, and community gatherings. Inside the park, you’ll find family-friendly amenities like a Kids’ Zone and nearby dining at Charlie’s Café, plus a range of urban conveniences in the surrounding downtown area.

When planning your visit, consider nearby hotels, transit options, and parking to secure a smooth experience. We’ve got you covered with practical, non-salesy guidance and links to trusted partners to help you lock in great seats and convenient stays.

Seating at Hemming Park is event-specific: there is no permanent seating chart, as organizers configure temporary seating and open-ground layouts to fit each show. Parking is available via metered street spaces and nearby parking garages. For transit, the park is served by JTA bus stops and the Skyway James Weldon Johnson Park Station, making it easy to travel from across the city. If you’re planning an overnight stay, nearby hotels include the Marriott Jacksonville Downtown (245 Water St), Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront (225 E Coastline Dr), and Hilton Garden Inn Jacksonville Downtown Southbank (1201 Kings Ave). When selecting dining, check out nearby options—especially Charlie’s Café within the park area—and a range of restaurants nearby for pre- or post-event meals. We’re here to help you secure your seats and your stay with trusted, convenient choices.
