History of Alpine Groves Park

The land was originally an orange grove during the 19th century when the citrus industry was booming. With three historic structures on the property — Bennett House, the horse stables, and a citrus sorting shed — you experience what life was like in the 1800s.

There's also a pier you can walk out on to enjoy a picture-perfect sunset over the St. Johns River.
