Fred Poppe Regional Park has a nice atmosphere and is great for all ages. There is plenty to do including a playground dog park indoor gym and open spaces. One thing I really like is that the soccer facility is not locked or restricted from the public like some other fields controlled by local soccer clubs in the southern Brevard area. Overall it is a well maintained park and a great place for families and the community to enjoy.

Our favorite park and walking area. Beautiful ponds that you can fish, many different fields for activities including a baseball field, basketball court, and volleyball area, a beautiful playground, nice bathrooms, huge dog park, frisbee golf, & community center. This park is our go too for many reasons!

Very nice, clean straightforward park. However, no matter time of day Restrooms are *Not Open*. Seems to be more devoted for kids sports than the convenience of a good local accessible park for the regular public. Not just those who live near by.[Could be an easy fix.]

Huge, lots of open fields, a very decent kid playground and a designated cricket area. Indoor gym for basketball, clean bathrooms, rental pavilions, trails, nice sidewalks, soccer and baseball fields. Honestly one of the biggest and cleanest parks I've ever been to.
