The immediate objectives for this phase include much-needed infrastructure improvements, the provision of land for civic facilities such as parks and schools, and creating public access to nature.

The kids are out of school — and full of energy. Good thing we know where they can get some of it out of their systems. The YMCA at Wildlight (opens in new tab) has programs and services for everyone to participate in.
Summer Camps
One of the most popular is the camps (opens in new tab) for kids ages 5–12. The YMCA has a wide range, including half-day specialty camps (opens in new tab) and full-day options — all offering the opportunity to learn new skills, find new hobbies and make new friends. The Y also offers swim lessons and swim tests (opens in new tab) for kids and adults alike. Active duty military? The Wildlight Y has a camp for kids of active-duty members through their Operation Hero (opens in new tab) program.
Sports Programs
The YMCA fun goes beyond camps. The Y has youth sports (opens in new tab) programs to get the kids moving, with youth basketball at the McArthur Family YMCA (opens in new tab), and flag football and soccer at the YMCA at Wildlight. These leagues are another great way for kids to build camaraderie with their peers and develop friendships that will last beyond even the summer. (And the games are fun to watch, too!) And teens don’t need to feel left out of the fun. There are awesome opportunities to be camp counselors. (Just ask Autumn Franks (opens in new tab).)
Fun for All Ages
The YMCA at Wildlight also has opportunities for the entire family to get out of the house, like the Families Unplugged (opens in new tab) series. It’s a chance to unplug and connect outside the house, without technology. (Kids not on phones … remember what that’s like?) And if you want to have a date night, Parent’s Night Out (opens in new tab) lets you go out together, and know that the kids are safe and staying occupied, having fun with games and arts & crafts.
It’s going to be a busy summer, and thanks to the Y, boredom won’t be a thing. Interested in becoming a member or learning more about the programs and services they offer? Stop by the Wildlight Y in person (it’s right in the community!), or visit online at fcymca.org (opens in new tab).

The Horizon Club at Del Webb Wildlight is now open. And it has everything residents of the 55+ neighborhood could want to make their days feel more delightful. In fact, you could say that Horizon Club is where relaxation meets activation — and this 16,000-square-foot space has room for it all. (Even dogs get their very own park.)

WILDLIGHT, Fla.—April 25, 2024—Wildlight, a master-planned mixed-use development
in Nassau County, today announced that The Church of Eleven22® (opens in new tab) will establish a
Wildlight campus. This marks the first location of The Church of Eleven22 in Nassau
County.
Located on the south side of state road 200, across from Crosstown Boulevard, the
campus will feature a spacious sanctuary and worship center spanning 40,000 square
feet, accommodating 1,000+ Wildlight residents, locals and visitors. Construction is
scheduled to begin this summer with a targeted completion date set for 2026. Ahead of
the official opening, a mobile campus is expected to launch in the fall of 2024 to serve as
a temporary worship center for the community.
“The Church of Eleven22 is excited for the incredible opportunity to expand into Nassau
County within the growing community at Wildlight. At Eleven22, we are a movement for
all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ,” expressed Jay Owen,
Eleven22 Executive Director of Communication & Digital Discipleship. “We have been
blessed with incredible favor from God and how He continues to move in us and through
us at The Church of Eleven22. We are excited for the build-out of this campus and look
forward to creating a place of worship for both residents and visitors alike.”
“Welcoming The Church of Eleven22 to Wildlight signifies more than just the
establishment of a physical campus; it represents our commitment to fostering a
flourishing community,” added Wes Hinton, vice president of Wildlight. “We believe that
the inclusion of Eleven22 will enrich the fabric of Wildlight while creating more
opportunities for connection.”
The new Wildlight campus will join 13 other Eleven22 locations across northeast Florida
and southeast Georgia.
Scherer Construction is leading the design build project. The architect is Basham & Lucas
Design Group.
Wildlight’s newest neighborhood, Hawthorn Park, doesn’t have a pond. It has three. But that’s not the only nature you’ll find here. This enclave by Pulte Homes (opens in new tab) backs to a preserve and has trail (opens in new tab) connections right outside your front door. And if you want to stroll to sushi or the hair salon, or bike to a craft beer at Mocama, you can do just that, because those trails will lead you to the Village Center (opens in new tab).
Want to experience even more of the great outdoors? Whistling Duck Pond will be opening nearby soon (hint: start looking for a kayak or canoe). And Four O’clock Park, Coin Toss Park and Waterbug Park offer even more ways to spend your days — from sports courts and an event lawn to bocce ball and a playful pool. Even the furry family members of the four-legged kind have their own opportunity to expend some energy, at their very own off-leash area. If you’re thinking that sounds like a pretty perfect place to live, well, you’re absolutely right.
New homes … and a new kind of home
Hawthorn Park has two kinds of single-family homes by Pulte Homes. New-to-Wildight bungalows, with front porches and alley-load garages (many with homesites facing the pond). And the Village Homes, with thoughtful features like family-friendly gathering spaces and oversized kitchens. Whatever stage in life you’re at, or whichever floorplan you prefer, you’ll find the home that suits you best in this exciting new neighborhood.
Ready to find your new home at Hawthorn Park? Prices start in the $300s.
March 9th was a big day. As in big fun. A big run. And a big donation to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County.
Let’s start at … well, the starting line. Where over 923 runners participated in our second annual Run Wild 5K, new 10K and Family Fun Run. The course took place on the trailways (opens in new tab) and through the neighborhoods of Wildlight, where mile paces were met and personal records were set. And spectators had a great time lining the streets and cheering on friends, family — and complete strangers, too.
Across the finish line (where runners 21+ were greeted by a finisher beer from Mocama Beer Company (opens in new tab)), there was a lot more fun waiting. Like food trucks with crepes and refreshing Italian ice. A local vendor marketplace. A kids’ zone with rock wall, face painting, balloon animals and more. Massages for the runners. And live music by The Band Be Easy (opens in new tab) for a little post-run dancing.
A big shout-out to everyone who participated — and helped Wildlight raise $3,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Nassau County. The volunteers who made everything run (pun intended) seamlessly. And our top men’s and women’s finishers: Eden Kendall (24:24) and Cayden Driggers (19:29) in the 5K and Marin Bograd (45:00) and Zach Wrobel (40:43) in the 10K. (Check out the full list of participants and finish times here (opens in new tab).)
We’ve included some of our favorite pics from the day. But if you want to see more (or see what you missed), you can find more photos here (opens in new tab) and a video here (opens in new tab).
After two years of successful races, we’d say we’re sufficiently warmed up for another Run Wild next year. Stay tuned!
Under beautiful blue skies and warm temperatures on Feb. 1, more than 50 people joined Pattillo Industrial Real Estate and the Nassau County Economic Development Board for the official announcement of the opening the Wildlight Commerce Park located at Wildworks Avenue and SR 200.
