Waterway Park

A major aesthetic improvement to the Island, this well-landscaped park is a Brevard County owned facility providing public access to the Indian River Lagoon. The Intracoastal Waterway Park is an attractive gateway into the Island from the mainland, providing enjoyment of the waterfront within the SR 520 Commercial Core Sub-Area. Learn more.

  • 8.5 acres with paved pathways and winding boardwalks
