Huge park with plenty of field space and good restrooms. 4 stars because the grass is very sparse and it's pretty sandy which lends to quite a few ant hills.

This is a really nice park with a lot of room for people to walk and play. The fountain and bridge were neat to see.

Nice, quiet place to do my running during the morning/night. Fun events and things to attend during Saturdays/Sundays. But I am giving 2 stars because the people who past you don’t even say “Good morning,” neither “Bad morning.” And there are the racist white people who are rude, and are not friendly.

Very well kept park. Not a lot of shade on the walking trail section. The baseball fields have shaded seating.

Visiting Blue Jacket Park was a very nostalgic experience. My husband Tom joined the Navy in 1988 and attended boot camp in this exact same spot. and one of the pictures he is standing at the exact same spot or he marched in his boot camp Company, C013. Our first child was born in the VA hospital on the other side of Baldwin like. We spent many lunches at a picnic table thinking about our future. In 1999 the U.S. Navy turned over all of the property that was a former navy base to the city of Orlando. It is amazing to see how they turned this former Navy base into a beautiful community park and neighborhood.

Came to visit since I went to boot camp here 34 years ago. Very nice park for walks, etc. has softball field, basketball courts, beautiful oak trees. Added a photo I found online that shows the old layout of the training center vs now.

Awesome Park! Very Clean and Beautiful! Lots of shade and trees. Nice bridge And fountain for photos. Very wide open grass area to walk dogs or play field sports. Baseball fields and snack bar for little league. Wide paths for running scooting or jogging. Saw a few people doing yoga and exercising. Water fountains and picnic tables available. Overall beautiful park and very clean. Pick up your trash and be nice to animals.

Large park with open green spaces. The playground is small, but has engaging features. There is a long trail around the perimeter of the park. There are historical markers and statues about the Navy since the park used to be the Orlando Naval Training Center.

While there a few beautiful features like the fountain, overall not much of a naturally scenic park compared to other parks in Orlando.
