Update: Today, we had the chance to visit this amazing park again after 5 years, and we found two more improvements: 1. Toilets are so clean. 2. Two EV chargers were added (not the fast ones though 7kwh)๐๐ Old review: Very beautiful park for friends and family gatherings and spending the day eating and having fun . It has lots of things. i did not see it in many parks like bike rentals and electric vehicles changing.. they also have BBQ areas and lots of benches beside the nice playground. The park is Free and dog friendly and the parking is free as well. The only thing i wish they take care of about it more is the toilets.

I don't know what's not to like in this beautiful garden park on the water.There's a fabulous walking trail with fitness stations each filled with great health information in addition to easy exercises. There are benches and shade beautiful birds squirrels that are delightful and a dog friendly, people friendly atmosphere that's hard to find in other cities. It's great for early morning and early evening as well as throughout the day. There plenty of shelters and picnic tables and the possibility for citing manatees dolphins and other wildlife.

It was a lot smaller then i expected and the broadwalk near the water wasnt very close to the water so you had a hard time actually seeing anything. Sadly enough we didnt see any manatee's but we did see 3 dolpfins in the distance. On the boardwalk there are also quite a few wasp nests so be careful if you are allergic. The park has a nice shaded picknick area and restrooms at the start where you also park your car. If you follow the paved road in the park you'll come across various fitnes machines that'll help keep you healthy and in shape.

Awesome park right on the Banana River in Cape Canaveral, FLA. Great spot to watch the sun set over the river and Merritt Island, but I have never seen a manatee here. Long boardwalk along the water, a 1/2 mile fitness loop (by FitTrail), a large playground, a bike repair/air station, several picnic pavilions, and full facilities/restrooms make this the perfect spot for kids of all ages! No kayak launch, but there is one at the small Banana River Park just to the north of Manatee Park. Get off of your phone and go outside!

A resident told us that the "locals" call this park the "Non-Manatee Park"". No manatees were seen today. Raised boardwalks with covered areas were nice to sit to view the water front. Peaceful environment. Small flock of White Ibises were near the reclamation pond. Softshell Turtles were snacking on mealworms courtesy of a park goer. Interesting to watch the "snacking" turtles. Fenced playground area. Picnic pavilion with restrooms. Free parking.

Not what many travelers think but this park is exactly what it is, it is just a park with a 1/2 mile walking path and beautiful nature to look at. It is very clean and if not please help pick up after others. There are little exercise stops along the path. The children's park is located in the center of the park enclosed by a gate which is open for all. We encountered a variety of birds, lizards, turtles, and fish. We were staying by a hotel nearby.
