Brevard County Parks Update: Many Parks, Fields and Ramps Remain Closed

11 area boat ramps now open for use

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA — Due to extensive damage from Hurricane Irma, many of the parks, fields and ramps remain closed until we can further evaluate the damage.

Boat ramps and docks cannot be evaluated until waters start to recede due to the high water level.

There will be many locations throughout the parks that will remain unsafe to access until repairs can be completed and debris has been cleared.

The Parks and Recreation Department is asking for the community to please abide by these closures for safety concerns as maintenance crews continue to work expeditiously on recovering and repairing the parks as quickly as possible.

The status of the parks will continue to be monitored across Brevard County. Additional information will be posted as it becomes available at www.brevardparks.com and on the Parks and Recreation social media pages.

Residents are encouraged to contact local parks to ensure they are open before visiting.
