Nice spot to watch boaters and fish. Beautiful view and lots of fishing going on from the banks. Pavilions nice but dirty.

Ballard Park is the Melbourne area's nicest, best-maintained public park with boat launch facilities. It's well hidden behind a residential neighborhood, so it usually only gets crowded on the busier boating weekends throughout the year.

This property is on the point of land with easy access to the water/river. The boat ramp is still being rebuilt and is expected to be completed in early 2020. This means that there is no trailer access at this time. The grounds are well kept. There are several covered pavilions with tables and a set of restrooms on the grounds and the water is easy access for kayaks and paddleboards. There is limited parking while construction is underway. Overall, nice park with limited access.

I go there to get bait" but it is a great place to set and watch the birds and boats or have a picnic lunch!

Came here with my aunt who wanted to take a break from shopping. This park has two picnic tables under canopies and a bench. While we were there, a couple of families stopped to eat lunch. There are barbecue pits as well and a garbage can. My only recommendation is for the Park Service to put in another bench under the palm tree for shade.
