Indian Riverside Park — Attraction in Jensen Beach

Indian Riverside Park is 63 acre park along the Indian River Lagoon. The park was opened to the public in 2001 when it was created from the land Martin County purchased in 1997 that included the Mansion at Tuckahoe and surrounding property. The park has a 3/4 mile walking trail and boardwalk through the mangroves, fishing pier, splash pad, picnic pavilions, butterfly garden, lakes, and open lawn.

There are three buildings available in the park for rent for private events. The Mansion at Tuckahoe was built in 1938 for a Coca Cola heiress on top of a 4,000 year old Native American midden. Captain Henry Sewall's House was a post office built in 1889 and moved to the park. The Frances Langford Pavilion is a two story banquet space overlooking the Indian River. The park is also home to the Treasure Coast Children's Museum and the U. S. Sailing Center.

On the night I visited there was s prom at the Mansion at Tuckahoe and a wedding at the Langford Pavilion. If you are having an event the historic buildings are lovely with the beautiful park providing the perfect backdrop for photos. The park is also wonderful for anglers and boater while children will enjoy the splash pad and museum. With over 4,000 years of history at this spot there is something for...

This is a wonderful park with so much to offer. There really is something for everyone, whether you are looking to fish from the pier, have a picnic-style party under the pavilions, or just enjoy the biodiversity while taking a jog or a stroll.

There is a paved path that wraps around the park, which takes about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace. You can also admire the mangroves from the boardwalk -- a short walk that offers a look inside these "natural anchors".

Leashed dogs are welcome, restrooms are clean, and there is a small sandy beach for wading. The river doesn't get very deep here, but it is a great spot for kids because there are no strong currents.

Kids also love playing in the large water fountains designed for cooling off on a hot day. This is located next door to a children's museum.

Indian River Park is pretty spread out, so it really works for anyone whether you are looking for peace and solitude or an afternoon with friends. Best part is that it is free to enjoy, with...

B E A U T I F U L park - it has something to offer for the whole family including toddlers. As soon as you arrive you'll be greeted by a gorgeous fountain of 2 dolphins jumping out of the water. There's a splash pad and a large shallow area where kids as young as 2 or 3 can play in the water safely. There are several covered pavilions with long bench tables perfect for large gatherings and events. There's even a long fishing pier with accessible water spickets along its entirety. Needless to say, there's a great view and plenty of areas to capture classic Florida picture perfect moments. There's plenty of open grass to play football or catch and a few shady trees you can sit under. There were a lot of people when I went on a Saturday and parking was NOT an issue. Also within the grounds is historic Florida Landmark Mount Elizabeth Mound where there is now an elegant mansion available for weddings and special events. Overall this park makes for a quiet and...
