Brevard Parks & Recreation

Brevard Parks & Recreation is the administrative hub for one of Florida's more impressive county park systems — a network of dozens of parks, trails, nature sanctuaries, boat ramps, and recreation facilities spread across Brevard County from Titusville in the north to Palm Bay in the south.

For families visiting or living in the Space Coast region, the Brevard Parks & Recreation website (brevardfl. gov/ParksAndRecreation) is an invaluable planning resource. It catalogs every county park by city, with details on facilities, amenities, and access.

Whether you're looking for a playground near Cape Canaveral, a kayak launch on Merritt Island, a fishing pier in Palm Bay, or a nature trail in Titusville, this is where you find it.

The administrative office at 412 Barbara Jenkins St in Cocoa is the operational center, but the value for families is the countywide park system it manages. Notable individual parks in the network include Manatee Cove Park, Kiwanis Island Park, Enchanted Forest Sanctuary, and Riverwalk in Rockledge — each covered separately in this guide.

Beyond passive park access, Brevard Parks & Recreation runs organized athletic leagues, summer programs, and nature education events for kids. If you're relocating to Brevard County or planning an extended stay, checking the department's programming calendar is worthwhile.

The overwhelming majority of county parks are free to access. For the Space Coast's natural beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities, Brevard's park system is genuinely one of the region's most underappreciated family assets.
