The City of Jacksonville acquired more than 4,000 acres of the northern portion of Cecil Commerce Center for recreational use. Portions of this area are being master planned to include passive forms of recreation such as hiking and horseback riding trails, camping, hunting and fishing. This area is a small portion of a larger natural wildlife preservation corridor connecting Jennings State Forest, in Clay County with Cary State Forest, north of Cecil Commerce Center. Approximately 900 acres are designated for use as an active recreational area. This active recreational area includes several tournament level playing fields and sports complexes, playgrounds, open play field areas, a community center, a park maintenance facility and an equestrian center.
