Put dog park has a couple poop bag dispensers as well as trash cans and a water feature. You can park right next to the dog park. The ground covering is mostly sand and grass.

Taylor Park is a 3.06 acre neighborhood park in Rockledge, the oldest city in Brevard County. At…read morethe entrance to the park is an arched entranceway that reads "This park is presented to the city of Rockledge, Florida A.D. 1928 - by - Albert Armor Taylor and Grace Webster Crockett Taylor, his wife, in memory of their beloved parents, Frederick Fitch Taylor and Henrietta Powell Taylor of Grand Rapids, Michigan and Antoinette Millett Crockett of Portland, Maine" The park sits on a hill that slopes down to the entrance. There are parking spots along the perimeter of the park. Beautiful old oak trees provide shade. Amenities include a pavilion, picnic tables, benches, a playground, and 9 station exercise trail along a paved walkway. This park is the perfect neighborhood destination for play, picnics, and exercise. What I found most interesting about the park is that the Taylors are still here! There is a mausoleum in the back of Taylor Park. The Taylor's settled in the east central Florida area in 1895 and they had two sons: Albert Armer Taylor, Jr and Frederick Fitch. Sadly, both passed away as infants and they are laid to rest here with their parents. Albert and Grace Taylor were instrumental to the development of Brevard County. Albert Taylor was one of the founders of the Brevard County State Bank at Delannoy and Harrison streets in Cocoa in 1889. He was president of the bank until 1906 when he resigned and made a lot of money in citrus and real estate. He was the first president of the Cocoa Town Council and was elected mayor in 1898. Grace was one of New York City's first stenographers before her marriage and she was an accomplished poet. Their home was on the site of today's Cocoa Public Library between Delannoy and the Indian River. One of their favorite hobbies was studying the night sky with a telescope. Engraved on their tomb is the following: "We have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night." You can learn more about the Taylor's from a display just inside the entrance to the Brevard Museum in Cocoa. Grace in particular was interested in preserving the history and natural beauty of the area. She passed away on December 27, 1945 and upon her death she left a bequest specifically for the development of a museum to to preserve the history of pioneer life in Brevard County, In 1975, the Albert and Grace Taylor addition to the Brevard Museum was created with funds from the Grace Webster Taylor Testamentary Trust. Many of Grace Taylor's personal effects are on exhibit. The mausoleum is hidden by a sensory garden. The plants were chosen for their fragrance, tactile qualities, and beauty. If you didn't know the grave was here you wouldn't notice it. It is surrounded by a locked gate. I loved discovering this bit of interesting history in this park. The Taylor's are still keeping watch over the community they loved.

Robert P. Murkshe served as mayor from 1963 to 1972. During that time he guided the city through an…read moreextraordinary period of growth and transformation. At the beginning of his tenure, Cocoa Beach was a small community of just 3,475 residents and lacked many essential public facilities, including a hospital, high school, junior high school, and municipal recreation facilities. it lacked the infrastructure you would find in a modern city. By the time he left office, the population had grown to more than 12,000. He established and expanded these important community resources and his leadership also helped lay the groundwork for the environmental preservation efforts that continue to protect Cocoa Beach's natural resources and coastal beauty. Named in his honor, Robert P. Murkshe Memorial Park is a 2.5 acre beachfront park located at 16th Street South. A paved walkway leads from the parking area and restrooms over the dunes to the beach. Amenities include an outdoor shower, a covered picnic pavilion with tables and a grill, and free parking. A cool find in this park was the artwork that Guy Harvey lent to the Creative Cans in the Sand project, a not-for-profit with the mission to help encourage beach goers to dispose of their trash responsibly. Guy Harvey is an artist, scientist, diver, angler, conservationist, explorer and entrepreneur who is famous for his coastal artwork. The cans bring art to the park in the hopes that it will encourage visitors to dispose of garbage in the cans, not on the beach. When I visited the park I noticed that this beach is popular with surfers and saltwater fishermen. I appreciated the convenient beach access and relaxed vibe. When you are looking looking for a quieter stretch of Cocoa Beach to enjoy the waves, Robert P. Murkshe Memorial Park is a great choice.

If you go to the right of the life guard side, you can go there with your dog. It's so spacious and nice and clean. The water feels amazing during the summer. We live by Tampa and come this way. We have been here almost a handful of times now. It's never packed to the rim with people. It's pretty awesome to see the cruise ship in the far back. I was just saying can't believe I found another fave beach after living here for just over ten years. Love it here!!
