The Mikey Goodwin Playground is located in James A. Nance beach front park in Indialantic. In 2022…read morethe playground in Nance Park was redone to honor local teen Mikey Goodwin. Mikey was a talented athlete. One day he came home complaining about blurry vision. It turned out that he had a tumor on his brain stem. He passed away at the age of only 19 from a rare form o brain cancer called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Giloma. After his death his family wanted to give back to the community that supported them through Mikey's illness. They have undertaken several events to fun a cure. These include a 5K and and the Mikey Strong Golf Tournament. After the old playground was taken out, the new playground was installed. It was designed to be larger and ADA compliant and inclusive. Mikey loved the outdoors and always liked to include everyone. The playground is reflective of his generous spirit. To make the playground wheelchair accessible, synthetic turf was used on the ground. Other special features of the playground include communication birds for non-verbal kids and two levels of monkey bars, one at standard height and one lower. The playground equipment was chosen to encourage parallel play where kids of different abilities can play alongside each other. Funding for the playground was raised by volunteers who solicited donations. As someone who works with children with special needs I love the idea of this play space and how it honors a special teen who meant so much to this community.

Built by the community, this playground is all inclusive to include children in wheelchairsread more

The tennis courts were added in 1925. The town's first community center was built in the park in 1935. During WWII it served as a club for Navy personnel training at the airport. After the war it was again used as a community center until a new one was built just north of it. The original center is now The Heritage Center with a museum dedicated to the citrus industry. A plaque outside the building commemorates the spot in Pocahontas Park where on July 2, 1925 William Jennings Bryan delivered a speech for the county's inaugural festivities. Today families visiting the historic Vero Beach downtown area can still enjoy this charming park that has delighted generations of families. The park has pickleball courts, a playground, restroom. shuffle board court, and tennis courts. Standing guard at the entrance to the park is Patriot the fiberglass horse. Pocahontas Park is the perfect place to take the kids to play or to enjoy a game of tennis.

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.

Lovely and scenic park! The park is within walking distance of the beach. Nice stop in Melbourne.read more

The crew had to do some extra work to move around existing plants, etc and when they left you would have never known anything was shuffled around. The swing set is safely dug in and installed and the kids could not be happier. I highly recommend using them and wont go anywhere else!

What is now Sand Point Park occupies a 30 acre peninsula extending into the Indian River, but this…read morebeautiful waterfront park has a deep history dating back to the Civil War. During the Civil War, Confederate forces used this sandy, rocky stretch of land as a salt works, essential for preserving food. After the war, a group of British investors established the Florida Provision Company, using the site as a shipping point for the fruits, vegetables, and seafood harvested by the early settlers of LaGrange and Merritt Island and transporting them to markets along the East Coast. In 1868, Mary Hopkins Titus, the wealthy wife of Titusville founder Colonel Henry T. Titus, purchased 73.3 acres at Sand Point from the defunct Florida Provision Company. This acquisition became the original core of what would grow into the City of Titusville. The Titus family arrived that same year, with Colonel Titus opening a sawmill and a general store. He soon established a regular mule-team route connecting Sand Point with Enterprise on the St. Johns River, bringing settlers, mail, and supplies to the growing community. The settlement flourished and became a well-known stop for steamers traveling the Indian River. Today, nothing remains of the original settlement in the park except perhaps the name. Legend has it hat the town was originally named Sand Point. It was renamed in 1873 after Colonel Titus won the naming rights in a game of dominoes against rival Captain Clark Rice. The community was officially renamed Titusville in honor of its founder. Today the site has been transformed into Sand Point Park, a beautiful 29.88-acre community park along the Indian River where visitors can relax and enjoy spectacular waterfront views. The park offers a wide variety of recreational amenities. A paved walking path features a 0.66-mile fitness trail with exercise stations winding through the grounds. Visitors will also find baseball and softball fields, boat ramps, picnic areas, pavilions with grills, playgrounds, a splash pad, and restrooms. The park's largest pavilion accommodates up to 250 people, includes a kitchen, and is available to rent for private events. I really enjoyed my visit to Sand Point Park. From the shoreline, I was able to see the beautiful views of the Indian River and the nearby Max Brewer Bridge while watching ospreys, pelicans, and other coastal birds that call this area home. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to take a walk, enjoy a picnic, launch a boat, or let the kids play, Sand Point Park offers something for everyone. Come for an hour or spend the entire day, you'll find plenty to enjoy in this historic waterfront park.

I love all the shade and trees at this park. I appreciate that the park is gated. This option makes it less likely for your child to slip out and that makes my kids feel safer. This playground is all inclusive meaning children with accessibility needs can enjoy it too. There are lots of slides, various swings and loads of fun climbing features. This park is really big which is nice because it can accommodate a large group of kids which is ideal in downtown Titusville. My youngest son really loves the music section. There are elements to make sound and play. There really is something for every child's needs/wants. The bathroom is a bit of a walk but it there is one nearby. There is also a splash pad nearby as well. This is a great park with lots of great features and I highly suggest you check it out if you live in the spacecoast and want to give your kids a fun day.
