According To Evidence, It Was Not Named The Outdoor Drive-In At All. It Was Named The Perry Highway Outdoor Theatre (Or The Perry Highway Outdoor Drive-In For Secondary) Throughout Its History. It Was Closed In 1972.

From a 1983 Aerial view there appears to be remains of ramps at approx 3110 Apalachee Hwy (NE corner of Capital Circle SE and Apalachee Hwy)

Need an address or crossroads. More info and photos are always welcome.

Open till ~1975? Can anyone verify the exact date?

Owners:

1961 Talger Theater

1964 to at least 1967, Kent Theaters of Jacksonville, Fla., Frederick H. Kent, President & Owner, he had 27 theaters in Florida.

I don’t THINK the Parkway was a Drive-In, the only thing I could find was that it was a 5 Screen Multiplex open from 1985-1995.

Well, Perry Highway is US 27, or Apalachee Parkway within city limits.
