Limestone Creek is the site of the oldest African-American community in Jupiter. When the laws of segregation denied their children entry into public school this community formed their own school on the site of what is now Limestone Creek Park. In 1905 they opened the first "Jupiter Colored School" in the African Methodist Episcopal Church which ran until the 1928 Hurricane destroyed the church. Community member L.M. Davis donated one acre of his homestead for a new school. The community pooled their money and received a matching grant from the president of Sears, Roebuck, and Co.. They were able to build a bus, build a two room school house with kitchen, and hire two teachers to teach grades 1 through 8. The school ran without water or electricity. The class of 1941 raised enough money for a sidewalk which they autographed and you can still see that piece of concrete in the park. In 1956 the name of the school was changed to L.M. Davis in honor of the man who donated the land. Mr. Davis drove high school students had to travel 20 miles south to Riveria Beach until schools were desegregated in 1967.

Today a park is on the site of where the school used to exist. I love that this historic place is still a place for children. A basket ball half court was added to the park along with a playground and picnic pavilion. In April of 2016 a marker detailing the history of the site was added to the park. There is another marker in Jupiter in a historic African-American community in Cinquez park.

Historic site! A little gem in wooded area in Jupiter in a very quiet area. Swings, slides and a basketball court. Great open area in the back for dogs.

There are nice trails with plenty of wildlife to enjoy at Limestone Creek Natural Area. The walk takes less than an hour if you are in a hurry but you can spend all day to enjoy if you have the time. When you are close, stop by and enjoy this nature area.

This is a nice little park. The kids liked the play structure. There is a drinking fountain but no restrooms.
