Jacksonville's New Underwater Playground | Jacksonville News

Jacksonville’s new underwater playground—built from recycled concrete pipes and culverts at Harm’s Ledge—is the first major artificial reef in years, designed to revive marine habitats and boost fishing and diving. Launched in 2025 with a grant and a long-term vision, the project partners with “Think It, Sink It, Reef It” and key local agencies to transform waste into wonder, echoing past reef efforts like the Charles H. Kirbo Memorial Reef from 2001. This collaborative effort proves that when communities unite, they can create lasting benefits for both nature and recreation.
