🏆🎲 Congratulations to Phereby, the 2026 JaxParks Monopoly Tournament Junior Best!

The Junior Division brought their A-game to the board, making strategic decisions every step of the way. From purchasing properties and building monopolies to mortgaging properties and utilities, these young players proved they were ready for the challenge.

Players hit the board with their favorite game tokens, including the bulldog, stallion, Tyrannosaurus rex, and transformer, adding even more fun to the competition. They stayed focused, had a great time, and sharpened valuable skills along the way—including math, communication, business strategy, negotiation, and critical thinking.

A special thank you to the Jacksonville Jaguars Roar Cheerleaders for helping bring the excitement and fun to the 2026 JaxParks Monopoly Tournament!

Congratulations to all of our junior competitors for a day filled with learning, laughter, and friendly competition. We can't wait to see you back at the board next year!
