We are headed to Fernandina Beach for our next park hop, which will held at the Pirate Playground on Monday, July 1st from 9-11 am. Located in a breezy, shaded area among the trees, this unique playground integrates exercise, art, nature, music, imagination and local history for children of all ages.
