What a nice park. The reviews said the rangers were not so nice, but the ranger we bumped into looked to be on his lunch break, but he was so nice to help us with directions. We came for the Blueberry Festival and it was so nice to see everyone getting back to normal. It was such a nice day outside, too. The land is huge and there's a big pavilion to hold events. Parking was FREE it said with the flyer, but I think it was free anyways.

We came to Wickham Park to experience the Brevard Renaissance Fair at the end of January 2021. I have not been to a Renaissance event for a while and looked forward to seeing what they had to offer. The 391-acre park is a perfect location for an event of this grandeur. Covid-19 measures are in place; however, there is plenty of room to move about and away from crowds to take a mask break. Be sure to review the event program provided upon entry. The program includes the storyline for the event (The King is Here), the event theme (changes each weekend: Pirate, Fantasy, Hero's realm, and Celtic), times and places to see shows (glassblowing, fighting, forging, juggling, etc.), the vendor list (glassware, clothing, leather, metalwork, etc.), where to find ATM's, the information booth, and lost & found. Ticket prices: - Pub Crawl (separate from admission): $35 - Adult: $23 - Student: $20 - Child: $17 - Leashed Pet: $12 - Children under 4: Free Activity and entertainment are endless as long as you can forget the outside world for a while and just enjoy the festivities. We loved strolling through the shops to admire the well-made clothing and jewelry. I consider many of the items for purchase affordably priced; however, most of the Renaissance-themed clothing, boots, and jackets were way out of my price range (hundreds of dollars). Regardless, I can appreciate the quality of materials needed to create these beautiful products. There is a beer & wine vendor with a minimal selection of adult beverages ranging from $6 to $9. When you're ready for a snack, there is a picnic area where pizza, subs, scotch eggs, shepherd's pie, fish-n-chips, soft drinks, ice cream, burgers, corn dogs, and more can be purchased. Our favorite festivities included: Fire Whips and Swords, The CRAIC show, Valkyrik, The Lady Victoria, Johnny Phoenix, Knightwings, and the Joust. We also had a blast hanging out with the camel, goats, monkey, and boar at the petting zoo. We had a blast at this event! The staff and vendors evoke an authentic environment that encourages guests to participate in the festivities. Renaissance lovers travel from near and far to be part of this event, and many of them are dressed to the Renaissance nines, which makes for great photo ops. If you have never given the Brevard Renaissance fair a chance, definitely plan to stop in to check it out next season. It makes for a fun day out with friends and family, plus it's a beautiful time of year to be outside in Florida.

Nice pavilions and such, but the trails are great. Decided to try out the trails on the Western side. Beautiful white sand and a variety of flora. There is some litter in the area. A few short sections are a bit boggy.

Such a cool experience. We went here for a taco festival and enjoyed the park very much. They have horse stalls and a lot of open field area for events. There is also a lot of outdoor activities for you to do with your family. We had so much fun!

Nice park. Plenty to do. There's trails, a dog play area, picnic areas, ponds etc. They have events from food truck days, renaissance fair, x-mas lights, cultural festivals & more. The park is pretty well maintained. They could update the kids' play area. They have a bathroom so you don't have to use porter potties. Great location.

Pretty nice park. Full of many different playgrounds, horse arena's, mini sail boat racing, camping, picnic areas, and disc golf. The staff their is nice and helpful. The amenities are clean and well maintained. The parking is great. And I just found out January is Renaissance Fair time Thur-Sunday each week. Great park, will return for sure.

I was at this park yesterday checking it out for an event I'm doing I'm March of 2022. The park ranger, John, is a great guy, also a Retired Navy Veteran.... John showed me the camping area and the grounds. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the park. Plenty of facilities and power for the event. There's an Amphitheater with a stage large enough to hold a full scale concert. Can't wait to go back in a few months to start The planning for the event.

Dog park has 2 separate sections for small and large dogs. Has chairs for the owners, a toy box and water bowl .right outside the dog park is a pet washing station and a paved walking path that goes around the park. The paved walking trail around the park is 1.5 miles, its nice and clean, has doggy bag stations and plenty of trash cans along the way. On the east side of the park there are additional paths that lead into natural trails. These paths are not paved. Only thing i dont like is there are no maps to keep you on the the trail, considering the trail has alot of other trails that lead to a camp site, natural trails and so on.

Very nice park...with lots of open space. There is a huge sidewalk around the whole park, dog park, pavilions, etc. There is a lot to do there with a wide variety. They have a great Christmas light show as well.

Parked in the shade just before the entrance of a beautiful walking trail, looking out towards the playground area and swimming lake.

We saw lots of tortoises and some turtles too! No alligators today but there were signs for caution. Overall, will come again!

This natural area was a delightful discovery next to the Palm Bay Library. The sanctuary sits on a…read moresmall section of what was once an ancient Atlantic Ocean dune which was part of a series of dunes formed by wind and wave action when the ocean extended across Florida. Through many years the sand was enriched so that a forest grew where only sea oats previously survived. The land that makes up Turkey Creek Sanctuary was donated to the Florida Audubon Society and the City of Palm Bay in 1978. Fundraising to conserve the area began in 1981 by a citizen support group which is still in existence today as the Turkey Creek Sanctuary Society, Inc., a registered non profit. The purpose of the Turkey Creek Sanctuary Society is to raise funds to support the improvement and upkeep of Turkey Creek Sanctuary and to educate the community on the vital importance and the many benefits of Florida wildlife and its natural environment. By 1994, 113 acres were protected by the voluntary management committee. Today Turkey Creek Sanctuary is part of the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) program which added acres to the sanctuary in 2004. It is also a stop on the Great Florida Birding Trail. Some of the birds you might see here include ospreys and owls in the old pine canopy and woodpeckers and the rare purple martin. There are also alligators, manatees, gar fish, and turtles in Turkey Creek which can be accessed by canoe or kayak. Turkey Creek Sanctuary has more than three miles of marked trails through 130 acres of sand pines, saw palmettos, and live oaks. There is a 1.85 mile boardwalk that passes through a hydric hammock, mesic hammock, and sand pine scrub community. Also in the sanctuary there are 1.5 miles of jogging trails through native forest and a 1 mile mountain bike trail that connects to an additional 8 miles. The Margaret Hames Nature Center was opened in 1992 and offers interpretive exhibits, a restroom, and environmental education programs that include nature day camps, tours, nature library, and a gift store. I loved my hike at Turkey Creek Sanctuary. I started off by visiting the Margaret Hames Nature Center where you can see exhibits, use the restroom. and purchase a drink. Near the entrance to the boardwalk I spotted a gopher tortoise wandering around. The boardwalk area was mainly shaded with lots of interpretive signs. My favorite spots were the tree house and the Oli Johnson Canoe Deck where you can look for alligators and turtles. This is such a beautiful spot. If I lived closer I would be a regular visitor.

The park gives you access to the Ais Trail, a .6 mile loop, natural earth trail. The park and trail are named for the Ais people, a group of Native Americans that lived in eastern Florida. Their territory included coastal areas and islands from Cape Canaveral to the Indian River. The best account we have of these people comes from the journal of Jonathan Dickinson which recorded their appearance, diet, and customs. Dickinson and his party spent several weeks with them when they were shipwrecked in 1696. By 1760 the Ais were extinct as a result of enslavement, war, and disease. I really enjoyed my hike on the Ais Trail that traverses through scrubby flatwoods, sand scrub, hardwood hammock, mangrove shoreline, and a brackish creek ecosystem. Plants you will encounter will include Hickory and Loblolly Bay trees, American Beauty Berry, ferns, hog plums, wild olives, native rosemary, cabbage palms, saw palmettoes, slash and longleaf pines. The trail was mostly shaded and part of it was on a boardwalk where I met several large Eastern Lubber Grasshoppers. If you want a longer hike you can connect from the Ais Trail to Dewar Park via a boardwalk. In addition to the trail, the park also has a fishing pier on Turkey Creek, canoe and kayak launch, pavilion, and restroom. The park is open daily, 7am until sunset.

While it may not be as big as some of the other area parks it has been recently renovated and the location makes this a standout spot for water based recreational activities. This park was also a favorite spot of the Native Americans and early settlers who once lived here. Recent improvements to the park include hardening of the shoreline with rocks, new north observation pier, a new boardwalk connecting the north and south pier, and new decking for the south observation pier. Other park amenities include a concrete walkway, fishing piers with fish cleaning stations, benches, pavilions which can be rented, picnic tables, grills, kayak/canoe launch, and restrooms. This park has one of the only natural beaches on the Indian River Lagoon. Many people visit this park to fish from the piers and beach. I loved it for the stunning river view and the diverse bird life it attracts. I saw anhinga, great blue herons, and egrets. If you are lucky you may even spot a manatee or dolphin. I recommend coming here for an amazing sunset view.

It really is a cool park and provided a great spot to take a conference call and enjoy a peaceful water view. There were people wading in the water and others, like myself, were chilling and just enjoying the view. Again, it is not a large park, but Castaway Point Park seems to be a hidden gem in Palm Bay. This in itself is a good thing as it is always amazing to find these little known places in the course of my travels. They had a building housing rest rooms and the park itself was well maintained. I truly enjoyed my time here at Castaway Point Park and I will definitely return to this cool park when I am in the area. I would definitely recommend Castaway Point Park and I give it five stars.
