Wickham Park in Melbourne

Wickham Park is a public county park located at 2500 Parkway Drive, in Melbourne. It offers a variety of things to do outdoors including 2 softball fields, a soccor field (home of the Space Coast United Soccor), an exercise trail, paved roads for walking, running clubs meet here, dog park, camping, freesbie golf, horse shoes, volleyball, pavaillians, 2 lakes, equestrian facilities, archery, and many annual events including the Light Fest, Oktoberfest and Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall Memorial among others. I love Wickham Park and go there weekly, whether to hang out and play a game or walk with the girls in my family. We have spent every Easter since 1996 there with a huge egg hunt and yearly game of kick ball. Grills and table are placed throughout the park randomly but you can rent a pavillian for a fee to host a larger gathering. Currently they are building a Senior Center on the west side of the park which will be a nice addition. The park closes at dark unless you are camping. You almost always can see gopher tortises eating in the mid day sun but watch out for geese, ducks and peacocks, they own the place.
