Alcohol
|
|
Question:
|
Can I have a small party on the beach or in a park and serve beer or other alcohol?
|
|
Answer:
|
Glad you asked! The general answer is covered in Brevard County's Ordinance, Chapter 78, Article III - Use of Parks
(PDF).
You can find that document on the same page where our
facility use permit and rules are posted. As a County Ordinance, it is the
best general rule available.
In summary, it states that consumption of alcoholic beverages by individuals or
gatherings of people is permitted only in designated areas.
In our parks, for instance, you can acquire a Facility
Use Permit to hold a function where alcohol is served at a designated
area, usually a Community Center or pavilion, but not on beaches or
on park grounds managed by the Department.
The only time when it is permitted otherwise in our parks is for large, multi-sponsored
events such as a festival at a beach park. However, private commercial businesses
on the beach, such as the Pier in Cape Canaveral, and restaurants and hotels may
have permitting that allows alcoholic consumption by groups that are sanctioned
by them.
For further information, contact the manager of the park or facility where you are
interested in scheduling your function.

Animal Control
|
|
Question:
|
If I find a dead animal on the beach or in a park, who do I contact to remove it?
|
|
Answer:
|
Each park managed by Brevard County Parks and Recreation has a maintenance team
that removes dead animals if they see or are alerted to the fact.
However, because the beaches between park crossovers and the ocean are not part
of the parks, it is best to contact Brevard County Animal Control Services. They can pick up
a dead animal within a few hours after receiving a call for pick up. Picking up
dead animals is secondary to all other priority calls (the only exception is dead
animals at a day care, school or near a bus stop). Contact Animal Control Services
by calling: 321-633-2024 or 321-255-4346.
|
|
|
|
Question:
|
If I see stray animals or dangerous wildlife in a park, who do I call?

Answer:

office (or City office, if a municipal park); and/or contact Brevard County Animal Control Services by calling: 321-633-2024
or 321-255-4346

Bikes in Parks
|
|
Question:
|
Can I ride my bike off road in Brevard County Parks?
|
|
Answer:
|
Because of the sensitive ecosystems, street bikes and mountain bikes are restricted
to roadways and bike paths in parks managed by Brevard County Parks and Recreation.
With regard to parks managed by cities or privately owned properties, you should
seek permission from the property owner or manager.
Although the bike trails are not identified as "off road", you might be
interested to know that bike trails are identified in the St. Johns River Water
Management District book "Recreation Guide to District Lands" for some
of the conservation areas and buffer preserves. On the Publications page, select
"Recreation Guide to District Lands" at the following web site: http://sjr.state.fl.us/programs/ outreach/pubs/index.html

Bike Trails
|
|
Question:
|
Does the recreation department have maps of bike trails or designated bike routes
throughout the County?
|
|
Answer:
|
No, the Parks and Recreation Department does not publish a map of bike trails. However,
if you are looking for wilderness bike trails, a publication called Recreation
Guide to District Lands is available at the St. Johns River Water Management
District website. You can view and print pages online from a PDF Acrobat Reader
version, or request a hard copy. The publication identifies conservation areas (several
in Brevard County) that include thousands of acres and have marked bike trails:
http://sjr.state.fl.us/programs/ outreach/pubs/recguide/recguide.html (view
either the Central or Southern Regions).
There is also a bike trail in the
Archie Carr Nation Wildlife Refuge that connects Long Point Park with Sebastian
Inlet. Other dirt road bike trails include Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary in Merritt
Island, and Black Point Drive
in the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.
The Brevard County Bicycle Pedestrian Program is coordinated by the Office of Traffic Engineering. In May 2001, the Brevard Metropolitan Planning Organization adopted the
Brevard County Greenways and Trails Master Plan. The Plan incorporates public comments
and ideas collected during the Master Plan development and identifies the opportunities
for a trail system that serves transportation, recreation and conservation needs.
The MPO is now know as the
Transportation Planning Organization
The Brevard County Bicycle Pedestrian Program is supported by citizen advisory committees,
and many of those citizens are associated with bicycle shops in Brevard County --
employees at these shops are an excellent source of information regarding bike trails.

Feeding Scrub Jays
|
|
Question:
|
Is it okay to feed scrub jays peanuts and scraps of food?
|
|
Answer:
|
The U.S. Federal Wildlife Service specifically requested Brevard County Natural
Resources Management Office to inform residents and visitors that hand-feeding Scrub
Jays is in direct violation of the Endangered Species Act. The
Endangered Species Act defines hand-feeding of Scrub Jays as harassment because
it teaches jays to look to humans for direct hand outs and is detrimental to long
term survival. Hanging bird feeders available to all birds are not covered by the
policy as it is not 'directly' or 'actively' feeding jays. Brevard County Natural
Resource Management Office Phone: 321-633-2016

Park Rules
|
|
Question:
|
Generally speaking, can you provide me with the rules for parks and beaches in Brevard
County?
|
|
Answer:
|
You will find the Parks Ordinance, as well as
Facility Use information for parks managed by
Brevard County Parks and Recreation by
clicking here. And, some helpful information about Beaches by clicking here.
That said, the Ordinance for our Department is specifically for parks managed by
our Department. And, any County "Ordinance" may reference a waiver under certain
conditions, or specific activities allowed by a "permitting process" by our Department
or other local jurisdiction.
City Parks can have different rules, and
on the general beach front in front of a hotel, they can be different if a hotel
has obtained a permit for a particular activity. There are "Rules Signs" posted
at entrances to parks and dune crossovers, but these rules, again, can vary depending
on jurisdiction.
So, it is difficult to answer your question without having a good idea of where
and what kind of activity you are planning. We don't mean to be evasive or pass
the buck, its just that the more you can narrow down your plans, the easier it
is to provide you with accurate information.
Finally, if you think a park you are interested in finding rules for is managed
by a City, you can find listings for City parks here.

Volunteer Opportunities
|
|
Question:
|
What kind of opportunities are there for individuals, clubs, or groups to volunteer
their services or skills within the Parks and Recreation Department?
|
|
Answer:
|
Volunteerism is itself a recreational pursuit. In fact, the history of recreation
and parks in Brevard County is founded on programs organized by volunteers, and
is today the result of coordinated efforts of staff along with groups and individuals
who have contributed considerable time and resources.
Opportunities range from athletic coaches, golf course docents, special event support—to
the memorial tree program, and support services for nature centers and endangered
lands sanctuaries. Contact the associated Operations office for more information:

Weddings
|
|
Question:
|
We are planning our wedding and are interested in having it in a park. Can you tell
us which parks we would be able to have a ceremony at?
|
|
Answer:
|
First, since we have over a hundred parks located countywide, it would be good to
narrow down what type of site you prefer. Parks are listed at our web site by Area:
North, Central Mainland, Central Merritt Island/Beaches, South Area. Each park has
a narrative describing facilities and some physical features that may help you decide.
Some suggestions for selecting a park:
-
If most of your guests are in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area, then South Area parks
may be the place to start.
-
Or if you prefer to be on the waterfront, then you could look at beach and river
parks.
-
Number of guests would be another consideration — if you are having a hundred
or more guests, then parks with large pavilions and plenty of parking would be deciding
factors.
Click for park listings.
Listed below are some parks that have been used for weddings
and receptions. If you don't find one here, keep looking through the Area Parks
listings, there are other parks you may find suitable.
For more information about any of these parks and to reserve a meeting room or pavilion,
you can call the appropriate Area Office at the number indicated (except for a few
facilities such as Veterans Memorial Park in Merritt Island, and Gibson Complex
in Titusville, where the number to call is specifically listed). You can also review
