    While not a bad size, I find the offerings of this park to be a bit limited. They have a baseball…read morefield, a few tennis courts, a basketball courts, a community center and a few cement picnic tables. They also have a pavilion and a small children's play area. It is not a bad destination if you're going to play one of the sports on one of the fields, but if you want to walk around and enjoy nature, this is not the place for you. All in all, I will give this park three stars. It is nothing special, however, if you were into sports, the sporting fields work pretty nice. It also looks relatively well maintained.

    Review of McLarty park…read more Entire park located next to apartment complex. Two playgrounds, one for smaller children, one for bigger kids. Some shade from Pine trees. Little kids playground has wooden mulch. Big kids playground has rubberized mulch. Sports fields: at least three softball or baseball fields and a couple of tennis courts. Bathrooms right next to small parking lot. Swings: big kids swings next to toddler swings on the little kids playground. Big kids swings next to handicap swing on big kids playground. Big pavilion close to Playgrounds. Holds eight picnic tables and has large built-in Grill. Small beach volleyball court. Lots of field space to run in. Playgrounds located away from the road. Most of the Sports fields are located near the street. A few are located far from the street on the other side of the playground.

The Junior stadium sounds fun but it has no close snack bar and has two porter potties. It was rough to be on that side. Parking is parking!!! Lol there's alot but also alot of us. Carpool if possible. Its basically get in where you fit even if its on grass islands. Lol There was parking across the street but did hear after you can't park there. Buy your entry beforehand and show to get in. Keep your bags compact to not get searched or request a medical cooler tag to take in extra stuff. There is plenty of food and snacks options. Drinks are at a reasonable price. Staff was friendly and continously cleaning the restrooms. I seen pop up booths for bats,gloves,posters, mini bobbleheads of your players. Kona ice, pineapple spot, Chinese food. The fields were well kept and can handle alot of rain so unless there's lightning games are on. They'll play til 2am to makeup any games affected by weather. We had about 5 lightning delays followed by buckets of rain. There's a lightning tracker and it will let you know when its safe to return. During this time everything closes and everyone is told to take cover!

    Our team from the Worcester, MA area consisted of 11- and 12-year-old players whose families…read moreplanned for months to attend the Winter World Series, Miggy Wood Bat event scheduled at the Coastal Florida Sports Park (CFSP) on Dec. 27-30, 2019 (cosponsored by the Miguel Cabrera Foundation (MCF)). My family had already arrived in Florida a few days before the event, but on Dec. 24...Christmas Eve...they CANCELED the tournament...via email. As you can imagine, everyone was extremely upset and disappointed. Some families had already begun the twenty-hour drive, flown into Orlando, or were in Titusville. Other families had to cancel plans altogether. For a few, it really ruined Christmas because the tournament *was* the gift. For those of us who had arrived...we were going to have to fill in four days with other activities or hang out at the motel. We thought, "there has to be some way of salvaging this!" I went with a fellow parent and our coach to CFSP on 12/26 to see what was up. The place is pretty slick with a huge field that has stadium seating, a large practice facility with many batting cages and an immense weight room, etc., etc. The representative who met with us was very polite. He explained that the Miguel Cabrera Foundation had not followed through with plans to help bring teams to the tournament. Both places promoted the event on their websites and social media channels. But for some reason, the gist of the explanation was that the Miggy Foundation didn't hold up their end of the bargain. I found it notable that, even after the event was canceled, both places continued to display information about event registration and NEITHER the CFSP nor the MCF had posted notice of the cancellation. In fact, those graphics were up through the duration of the tournament dates. I asked about the wooden bat ("Miggy Bat"), jersey, and hat that were supposed to come with the registration fee. They were never produced! But why wouldn't those items be produced ahead of time when you're anticipating a scheduled tournament to transpire in a few days? I have to wonder, if you are putting on a baseball tournament which requires a certain number of teams to make financially viable (let's assume 8 teams of 12 players each...and I'm only calculating for one age group), wouldn't you be tracking your registration closely enough so that you can see-well in advance-that you're not hitting your numbers? You'd have to know so you could order the correct amount of bats, hats, and jerseys. Things didn't add up, it seemed like they likely knew well before the 24th that the tournament wasn't going to happen. And they knew how far away we'd come from because I'd personally spoken to their representatives via phone. Nevertheless, notice of the cancelation didn't come until the 24th. Before the end of the meeting, he said he would put together a 2-day (rather than 4-day) tournament with the teams that had shown up. Allegedly there was a Canadian team and a team from one of the Carolinas that was also available. He also offered us use of their batting cage facility for a few hours to get in some BP. That was very nice of them. And because not our whole team made the trip, after hearing of the cancelation, the representative said that he should be able to get a few extra players for us. It looked like the event might be salvaged and our players, eager to play ball, would get a chance to play on the very impressive looking CFSP fields. We left in higher spirits than we arrived. We were able to get in the BP session and our players worked hard. In the following days, delays attributed to wet field conditions (it had rained off and on) pushed the new arrangement back one day, then another. Our team offered to come do whatever was necessary to get a field ready. However, the CFSP broke off communication about 9:30 am on the third day. They just ghosted me. Was there ever a tournament? CFSP and MCF have worked together in the past, and are scheduled to work together in the future. I hope they can dramatically improve the handling of tournaments. At the end of the day, CFSP was the one doing registration intake, therefore CFSP either manages events poorly, neglects to properly plan with cosponsors, or at the very least doesn't communicate well with customers about expectations. My recommendations are...maybe you could bolster your registrations by promoting your attendees better on Social Media, or offer incentives for referrals. My advice to customers: Do your research. Ask lots of questions before you commit to the expense and planning. Verify the tournament is scheduled. Demand to speak to other teams/coaches who are coming and/or previous tournament attendees. The facility may look amazing, but that is only one aspect of a tournament experience...event management and viable competition are required. Caveat emptor...buyer beware! KC

    We've been to the facility for many events over the past couple years and had a great experience…read moreevery time.

    This 92-acre Brevard County park, located behind the Eastern Florida State College gymnasium, is an…read moreexample of how environmental restoration and public recreation can coexist together. It was created through a unique partnership among Brevard County Natural Resources Watershed Management, Eastern Florida State College, the City of Titusville, the St. Johns River Water Management District, and Parrish Medical Center. Within the park is a series of interconnected lakes designed as a stormwater treatment system that cleans runoff from both Titusville and unincorporated Brevard County before it enters the Indian River Lagoon. Wetland vegetation naturally filters pollutants from the water, improving its quality before it returns to the environment. Without this treatment, stormwater runoff can contribute to algal blooms, muck accumulation, fish kills, and other ecological problems that threaten the lagoon's health. Beyond its environmental benefits, the restored wetlands provide valuable habitat for wildlife, particularly Florida's wading birds, while offering visitors opportunities for nature observation and outdoor recreation. The park contains a variety of habitats, including artificial lakes, freshwater wetlands, salt marshes, mangrove communities, and hardwood and sabal palm hammocks. Visitors can explore approximately three miles of paved trails, including a scenic 2.6-mile loop for walking, running, and cycling. Additional amenities include a five-story wildlife observation tower offering a stunning view of the wetlands, athletic fields, picnic pavilions, playgrounds, and access to the surrounding trail network. The park is an official stop on the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, a statewide network of more than 500 premier wildlife-viewing sites. It is well known for its abundant wildlife, and visitors can expect to see Ospreys, herons, egrets, turtles, and alligators, one reason swimming is prohibited in the lakes. During my visit, I spotted Black Vultures, a Great Blue Heron, and a Great Egret. Other species frequently seen here include Wood Storks, Glossy Ibises, Cattle Egrets, Mottled Ducks, Laughing Gulls, and Forster's Terns. Roseate Spoonbills make occasional appearances, along with Bald Eagles while ospreys are common throughout the park. During migration along the hammock trails you may find songbirds such as Prairie Warblers in spring and fall, or Painted Buntings during the winter months. The park also hosts the annual Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival, one of the largest birding festivals in the country. Cyclists will appreciate that the park serves as a trailhead for both the Brevard Coast-to-Coast Trail and the East Coast Greenway, providing miles of additional scenic riding along the corridor that parallels US 1. Chain of Lakes Park demonstrates how wetlands can improve water quality, support wildlife, and help protect one of Florida's most valuable ecosystems while also making a great recreational space for wildlife photography, walking, cycling, and play in a beautiful natural setting.
