A Glimpse into History

Dorothy B. Oven Park is steeped in history as rich as the North Florida soil that nurtured its famed camellias. The property traces its roots back to the Lafayette Land Grant, awarded to General Marquis de Lafayette by the United States Congress in 1824. The legacy continued in the 1930s with the Camellia Nursery, eventually giving way to the iconic Main House designed by Alfred Maclay. Mr. Will J. Oven, Jr.'s donation of the property in 1985, with the stipulation of its development as a city park, ensured the preservation of its integrity.

Our park is a sanctuary of over six acres adorned with lush gardens showcasing native flora such as azaleas, camellias, and palms.
