Park Profile: Community Park of Rockledge (Dick Blake Park)

There are no less than 108 parks in Brevard County, all of them free and fun for the whole family. Every so often, Brevard Happening profiles one of these community gems.

This week’s park: Community Park of Rockledge / Dick Blake Park
398 Gus Hipp Boulevard in Rockledge

Looking for a park with plenty of room to roam? Community Park of Rockledge has plenty of room for running around. This large, 74 acre park in the center of Rockledge includes soccer and multi-use fields, playground, pavilion, skate park, restrooms and a concession building.

During soccer season, it’s buzzing with activity. During my visit in January it was quieter, with families enjoying the playground, a few adventurous souls in the skate park and a few people biking on the path.

Rockledge Community Park

Ample room for soccer or just running around!

Rockledge Community Park Playground

A great little play area for the kiddos!

This park is a great place to kick around a ball, slide and swing, or practice your Tony Hawk-like skateboarding skills. The pavilion has a capacity of 160 and grills to accommodate a weekend barbeque.

Rockledge Skate Park

Designated skate area. Nice!

In addition, the Community Park of Rockledge features walking trails wind through Florida scrublands that offer a peaceful retreat. Those on bikes can ride along the paved trail, accessible from Murrell Road. Parking is located at the Gus Hipp entrance. On the day we visited, there was ample parking, but it probably fills up during soccer practice.

Rockledge Community Park

A great place to take a quiet stroll.

My take? If you are looking for a park with a little bit to offer everyone, this is a great one to visit. You can check out the official Brevard County Parks and Recreation page on Dick Blake Park for even more information.
