Spacious dog park and very convenient if you are driving on I-95…read more There are two gated areas: one for small dogs and one for large. If there aren't other people using it, you can just take your dog to whichever is available. You have to walk through two gates to get inside, so it helps prevent any escapes. There is a water fountain with a draining bowl for dogs to use. There is a well stocked poop bag dispenser and lots of trash cans. There are two single user bathrooms and some water fountains for people. They are clean, but at least one of them had a leaky faucet and a rusted lock that was very high (not good for kids or ADA). The cons of the park itself are that there was an area near the drain that had a hole under the fence. Also, the agility equipment was not there when we visited, but someone had left some balls, ropes, and frisbees for dogs to play. My dogs enjoyed running around, stretching, sniffing, and meeting some other dogs.

Nice dog park at the marina. It is gated and divided into two parks for the small and the big dogs…read more there are about 5-7 benches for the owners, on each side. There is a little bit of shade, but not too much so keep that in mind. This is a good place for the dogs to run. There is nice grass and sand, no mulch. i'm not fond of the mulch at dog parks. I feel like it gets stuck on them if they are long haired. We enjoyed our visit here. There were no aggressive dogs, and there were nice dog lover owners here as well. Glad we found it, and walking around afterwards in the park is pretty by the water. There is also a kid's playground and bathrooms, so all is well here.

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.

A nice walking park around a lake - tastefully designed - still under construction…read more This is at the corner of Viera Avenue and Lake Andrew Drive. It has limited parking with about 15 car parking spots and several smaller spots that I assume are for golf carts. There is a building with restrooms. The same structure has 3 swinging benches and a long concrete bench that overlooks the lake the park is centered around. There is a concrete path that circles the lake but due to construction, you cannot currently walk the complete path. The west side of the walkway seems to have several wider areas where you can relax off the main path. The construction parts around the 30-acre lake include an Olive Tree restaurant that has the basic structure already built and fencing around it and one of the hotels that has many of the floors built. There are going to be many more structures built along the south side of the lake that are in the future and the reason that this part of the path is closed off. There is not much shade are you walk around the lake but it is a good flat path to get your steps in. Overall, this is a nice park to relax and enjoy the view of the lake on a pretty day.

5 stars for a nice little Titusville park…read more Any time my wife and I go visit her parents, we always take our dog over for a walk at the Vern Jansen Park. Located right next to the North Brevard Senior Center, this is a nice little park with a great walking path and pond. The wooden bridge path circles around the pond and provides a nice and relaxing place to take walk.The park is relatively well maintained and has a little gazebo at the front where you can hang out or have a little picnic if you would like. Overall, Vern Jansen Park is a great Titusville park. The nice bridge, great view, and well-kept area makes for a solid park to check out with your dog or on your next picnic during a visit to Titusville.

I saw a few alternately housed individuals hanging out in the park while I was there, but they where just chilling. The main attraction of this park and what drew me in was the small space shuttle replica there that represents the city's deep roots with the space program. It provides for a nice photo op and is defienlety attention grabbing. It is a small area and has a brick walkway that leads to the front door of the City Hall. The plaza is relatively well maintained and is somewhat a chill peaceful spot, even though it is right off of the busy A1A. There is a lot right next to the plaza that you can park and enjoy it. That is where I parked. I do not see this as a major destination spot, but more of a spot for employees and visitors of city hall to hang out. It's is also a nice spot to take advantage of the photo op that I mentioned. Outside of that I do not see people spending much time here.

A nice place to visit the beach right along A1A This is a…read moresmall beach access that has a standard wooden beach access that is not wheelchair capable. Shell Street comes off A1A and has an upside-down "L"-shape when viewed from above with 2 small parking lots. The one at the top of the "L" has 12 parking spots and 1 handicap parking space. The other parking area that is directly in front of the beach has 6 regular parking spots with 1 handicap spot. Please be aware that if you park here you must pay. There is a sign in front of the lots that has the number or QR code to allow you to take care of it electronically. The cost is $2.50 per hour at this lot. There is a covered pavilion at the corner of the "L" with a table and benches. Between the 2 parking lots, there is a building with bathrooms and a small water and foot shower. At the bottom of the "L" and south of both lots is the beach access. The beach is a few short steps over the dunes. Please do not step on the dunes. You will usually find a lot of shells that have washed up here. It is a nice flat beach and provides a beautiful view from either the parking lot or the beach of the Atlantic Ocean. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
