Myrtle Avenue near State Street is where Jacksonville's S-Line Urban Greenway picks up, a rails-to-trails ribbon built on abandoned CSX right-of-way that threads neighborhoods north of downtown. The multi-use path supports walking, jogging, bikes, and rollerblading through residential stretches, with room to link toward schools, bus stops, and other parks along the corridor.

Bring a leashed dog for the path. City park rules keep animals on leash here, so save off-leash energy for a designated dog park later. Plan the Myrtle and State access as a linear neighborhood outing in daylight rather than a fenced play stop.
