Ryckman Park is located on Ocean Avenue in Melbourne Beach. It is on the Indian River in the…read morehistoric section of town. The park contains important town buildings including the Town Hall and the Melbourne Beach Community Center which was formerly the Women's Club. It also has a playground, several gazebos, public art, restrooms, and splash pad. Displayed throughout the park are Hometown Hero banners that recognize Melbourne Beach residents and family members, past and present, who have served in the Armed Forces. The Parks Board sponsored this project. My favorite part of Ryckman Park is all of the historical buildings and structures. The Ryckham House, one of the oldest homes in Melbourne Beach is front and center in the park. The park also has a replica of the Beaujean home and first post office and the Melbourne Beach Pier which was built in 1889. I very much enjoyed all of the history and beauty of the this scenic waterfront park. It was especially nice to relax on a bench swing in the breeze as I took in the view. If there is a drawback to this park it would be that you have to pay to park. The kiosk was broken and you had to either scan the QR code or text to pay. It took a few extra minutes to figure it all out but the enjoyment I got from this park was well worth the $3.25 I paid. While I was sorting out the parking I noticed Djon's Steak and Lobster House across from the park. It is a longtime community favorite known for their excellent happy hour menu. I will definitely put it at the top pf the list next tine I am in the area.

A lovely park in Melbourne Beach, Fl This park is located at…read morethe turn where Ocean Ave turns north and becomes Riverside Drive. It is across from Djon's Steak and Lobster house and to the west of the Fire station. It has several nice features to it. There is the historical Ryckman and Beaujean houses and railroad tracks, a pier, and a playground. The parking is directly in front of the park along the road. The spaces are numbers and there is a pay station for your convenience. It cost about $2/hour. There are several informational displays by the houses and the pier. The pier is very nice and can give you a lovely view of the sunset across the water and has a unique design feature that allows you to walk on the outside of the pier. The playground has a basketball court, swing set, and jungle jim. Along the path is a set of post with road signs with distances to different locations around the globe. All parts of the park seem very clean and well kept. There is a set of restrooms behind the Ryckman house. Overall, I thought this was a very nice park for walking, playing or learning the history of the local area. Definitely a good place to stop if you are in the area.
