Ryckman Park

Great place to fish,playground, site see, great history, nice walk to the beach, store and more. Limited parking and have to pay, something new, which should change so people can enjoy more outdoors. Great spot for tourist, now, its ok for locals but not it us to be.

The high parking fees are unsuitable for this lovely property. They charge nearly $4 per hour in the main parking lot, but if someone wants to park for five hours, they only pay $20.Apart from that, the place is beautiful, quiet, and well-suited for families and individuals. We thank all those involved in this place, from management and organization to follow-up.

Quiet and nice little park with a great pier.

Original review update on 6/15/24: Since my first review down below, they have changed it to where you have to pay to park. The fee to park is $2.50 for an hour and a half. The signs state “Thank you! Your parking fees help maintain our parks” which is obviously understandable but what I don’t understand is why they would lock the restrooms at 6pm and not notify the public of this prior to paying the parking fee? If my parking fee helps maintain the park (which the restrooms are a part of) then why would I not be able to use the restrooms during the time that I paid for the use of the park? Makes zero sense. Very inconvenient if you have young kiddos who have to go potty during their playtime while at the playground. Original review: This is one of our favorite parks/playgrounds to visit in the Melbourne, FL area. The views are absolutely gorgeous, especially when you get to catch a gorgeous sunset off the pier. It has three different playgrounds for the little ones, so plenty of choices regardless of what age group your kiddos fall into. It has a basketball court, restrooms and of course the gorgeous pier too!

Nice spot for sunset watching. The piers were closed, however.
