This is a serene water front park in Palm Bay. The park was named in honor of William A. Goode, Jr., a former mayor of the city in the 1980's in recognition of his service to the community.
Amenities at Goode Park include a playground and a large pavilion with picnic tables and restrooms at the top of the hill. The park slopes down to a boat dock on Turkey Creek and a fishing pier that gives you a view of the water.
Goode Park also has the event venue that can be rented called the Captains House. It holds 100 to 150 people and comes with use of a patio, the large dock, and the boat ramp.
While the view of Turkey Creek was pretty my favorite part of the park was when I discovered a gopher tortoise near the parking area. The little guy was happily munching away. I am always glad to come across them because they are considered a threatened species here in Florida. read more
