Review & FAQ:

Balis Park was established in 1988 by Mrs. Abla Balis in memory of her husband Sheffield Balis. The couple had been longtime residents of San Marco and she believed there was no better way to honor his memory than by creating a public park for all to enjoy. You’ll find Balis Park right in the middle of The Square at San Marco, which is a commercial district located in south Jacksonville. It has been renovated and improved over the years to include gorgeous landscapes, a sound system, and the bronze sculpture, Windy Days.
