Beyond the baseball fields, there is really nothing else here for you to do. So I am sure that it serves its neighborhood very well by giving a place for the kids to come play baseball.

Robert Nicol Jr. Park is one of several scenic waterfront parks lining the Indian River Lagoon in…read morethis area but what makes this one different is that it honors a fallen hero. This park is a memorial to Brevard County Sheriff's Deputy Robert Nicol Jr., who was killed in the line of duty on September 30, 1987, after being struck by a vehicle on U.S. 1 following a traffic stop. Born in Coatbridge, Scotland, Deputy Nicol served in the U.S. Army from 1967 to 1971, earning two Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star, and the Army Commendation Medal for his courageous service during the Vietnam War before continuing his commitment to public service as a law enforcement officer. Today, this peaceful 5.03 acre riverfront park provides an outdoor community recreation space. Visitors will find four covered picnic shelters named after native birds: Falcon, Kingfisher, Scrub Jay, and Owl along with a playground, drinking fountain, benches, and approximately 700 feet of shoreline perfect for fishing and enjoying the beauty of the Indian River Lagoon. A paved walking path winds beneath shade trees, creating an inviting spot for stroll. Like many waterfront parks in Titusville, Robert Nicol Jr. Park also offers excellent views of rocket launches from nearby Kennedy Space Center, and the park remains open, along with its restrooms, for scheduled launches outside normal operating hours. During my visit I appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful views across the lagoon. This park is ideal for letting the kids burn off some energy, enjoying a picnic by the water, casting a fishing line, or simply pausing to soak in the scenery. How nice that this park honors Robert Nicol Jr., a man who dedicated his life to serving others.

While driving through Mims, a rural community in northern Brevard County, I spotted Cuyler Park…read moreacross from a historical landmark I was visiting. Originally named for early pioneer settlers, Mims grew rapidly in the late 1800s with the arrival of Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway. The railroad transformed the area into a thriving shipping center for citrus, vegetables, and lumber before economic hardship during the Great Depression slowed its growth. Mims also holds an important place in Florida's civil rights history. In 1951 the home of NAACP leader Harry T. Moore and his wife, Harriette V. Moore was bombed bringing national attention to racial violence in the South. Located next to Cuyler Elementary School, Cuyler Park is a well-maintained 13.31-acre neighborhood park offering a wide range of recreational amenities for visitors. The park features lighted softball and multi-use fields, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, lighted basketball courts, a 10-station fitness trail, a shaded playground, restrooms, benches, and three rentable pavilions. The park and community center are named in honor of Bentley Cuyler Sr., whose vision was, "All children of color will have an opportunity to be educated." A respected citrus grower and community leader, Cuyler donated land for a school to help expand educational opportunities in North Brevard. He also founded and served as the first superintendent of Greater St. James Missionary Baptist Church, the historic church located directly across the street from the park. The 13,300-square-foot Cuyler Park Community Center includes a gymnasium, learning center, civic room, and restrooms. A 4,810-square-foot annex, added in 1995, provides additional space with a kitchen and stage for community events, performances, and neighborhood gatherings. Cuyler park has been a community gathering place since 1913. Today it continues to reflect the legacy of Bentley Cuyler Sr. and the history of Mims.

Cocoa Manor Park sits just minutes from Historic Cocoa Village, one of the oldest settlements on…read moreFlorida's Space Coast. Cocoa Manor Park is a pocket park, a type of neighborhood park that is typically less than half an acre in size. These small parks are designed to provide nearby residents with outdoor recreational space rather than leaving vacant lots undeveloped or adding more buildings. A wrong turn unexpectedly brought me to Cocoa Manor Park, so I stopped here to reorient myself. While it's a small neighborhood park, it was a pleasant place to take a break. The park features a playground with swings and slides, along with a few picnic tables for people to sit at. Parking at this park is very limited, suggesting that the park is primarily intended for residents of the nearby Carleton Terrace neighborhood. it is a nice little green space that serves its local community well.

What it more appears to be is an empty lot with utility equipment making it unsellable so the developers called it a "playground" (kind of a stretch to the imagination, but hey, all is fair in marketing).

Despite all of this, at leasy it offers a place for kids to play catch or maybe kick a ball and not be on the street.
