This is wonderful place to walk with paved trails, benches, bathrooms and a board walk along the water. It borders the Banana River. It was windy and the water was rough so we werent able to see any manatees. There are exercise stations around the trail.

Loved this place! Had a great time walking from the hotel with my new friend! Enjoyed a marvelous sunset too! BONUS!

Lovely little park to take the kids bike riding or for a picnic. The park had few people so it was quiet. It has a very nice covered deck to sit and enjoy the river. We saw 3 dolphins swimming at a distance. Didnt see any manatee. Only thing that takes away from the charm of the sanctuary, is all the development that now surrounds the park.

We didnt see any manatees, but it was a beautiful and peaceful park. We had almost the entire place to ourselves about an hour before sunset. There were tons of turtles, birds and a beautiful sunset. Lovely place for an easy walk and a playground for the kids.

This park has Absolutely beautiful scenery right before sundown. It was peaceful even though there were quite a few other people. there was kayaking,people walking their dogs,people hanging out in hammocks tied to trees. people just on nature walks, this park is definitely a go to Spot for a nice peaceful beautiful view of a sunset

Very beautiful park for friends and family gathering and spending the day eating and having fun , it has lots of things i did not see it in many parks like bike rentals and electric vehicles changing.. they also have BBQ areas and lots of benches beside the nice playground.The park is Free and dogs friendly and the parking is free as well.The only thing i wish they take care about it more is the toilets.

I dont know whats not to like in this beautiful garden park on the water.Theres a fabulous walking trail with fitness stations each filled with great health information in addition to easy exercises. There are benches and shade beautiful birds squirrels that are delightful and a dog friendly, people friendly atmosphere thats hard to find in other cities. Its great for early morning and early evening as well as throughout the day. There plenty of shelters and picnic tables and the possibility for citing manatees dolphins and other wildlife.

Beautiful and peaceful place. Fitness stations are a great addition to the having path. Loved the covered decks

Nice clean park with a play grounds. Nice boardwalk.

Wonderful little park with a half-miler walking track. Scattered along the path are low-impact fitness stations which we really enjoy. Most have instructions for a level one and level two degree of exercise and motion. Also the raised walkway along the Banana River is lovely. We try to go a couple times each week.

Situated along the Banana River just off of Route A1A, this park is well maintained and clean! It has an exercise route to walk and do some simple calisthenics to keep fit! A large pavilion, childrens playground and plenty of shade trees to relax under! If youre lucky, you just might see a manatee!

This is definitely a great place to watch a sunset.

It was nice but got bit by noseams all over my legs. Next time Ill wear jeans. The sunset was beautiful to watch at this park.

We love Manatee Park so much. Paths and boardwalks are great and there is always a nice beautiful breeze!

I love this place. Its full of people walking on the beautiful paths. The breezy weather is nice especially in Floridas heat. Ive been early in the morning and early evening and both times was a pleasant experience. Plenty of parking and they have a covered boardwalk facing the water. We saw lots of birds and turtles by the bridge. They have lots of trees for shade and trash cans available on the path to dispose of the doggy bags. They have a covered picnic area with grills that look open to the public too. They also have boards posted around the path with fun facts about the area and local wildlife. I asked some of the locals where to see the manatees and they said theyve never seen one at the park. So the only manatee you will see might be the statues at the entrance.

Pretty park, but it doesnt look like a place that would have many manatee sightings

A quiet place to park and enjoy a snack with your views of the Banana River, Manatee Sanctuary Park was built by the Florida State Department of Conservation, so it will never be sold for condominium development. We look forward to checking out the running/stretching path, and having company when the plague shuts down.

Beautiful park! Great running/ walking trails. Beautiful view of the Indian River.

Beautiful park with view of Banana River. Electric vehicle charging station.

Nice park for walking or picnic but not for seeing manatee.

Great Banana River Park. Shady boardwalk. Great place for children to play or have parties. Pet friendly for dogs on short leads

Nice paved path for walking or jogging. Multiple exercise stations along the path. Dog friendly. Saw a white swan and plenty of other birds. Yet to see a manatee there but Im sure you would if your timing is right.

Gorgeous Park! The maintenance at this park is phenomenal; very clean, very well maintained, and an extremely friendly environment. We walked along the board walk and the trail doing all the exercise machines and had a really nice family day. The park is beautiful an inviting with lots of wildlife wandering around. :)

So calm and quaint. In addition to manatee.. Saw Dolphins and several others. Great place for kids too.

Beautiful park. Very nice a peaceful park. Great place to walk around, but we did not see any manatee here. We did see 3 dolphins.

Beautiful park. We never saw any manatees, but we saw some nice wildlife.

Manatee Sanctuary Park is beautiful, a nice place to take a walk, let kids have fun on the playground equipment, and you get a chance to see various wildlife. The reason for a 4-star rating instead of 5-star is because the places that you might be able to see Manatees were all grown up on the river, nary a chance to see a Manatee.

Loved this place!Went with my dog on a whim and ended up staying for well over an hour and a half....Nice and quite with the majority of people walking along the track and the kids in the playground area, leaving the rest of the place up for grabs!Found a nice shady spot while the little guy chased squirrels; good times!

Saw a Manatee or two... Dolphins and a grey snake. Then used the beautiful concrete trails to walk Gracie our morkie. Met so many great people to talk with and let their dogs say hi. Awesome park... Has Thai Chi boards and different workout goals as well as you go around the park.

It is a great place to visit and walk ! ! Friendly people. Will go again and take family next time.

No manatees fro our experience and there were tress blocking where you needed to sit. Also, you should have places for people too spread a picnic blanket so they can eat and see the view. I enjoyed the lake though as it was peaceful and nice to look out onto.

Really lovely walk from our hotel to this park. Great place to let the kids play and have a picnic and get some energy out. Shaded. Lovely views.

What a beautiful Park & facility. The Boardwalk has amazing views of the Banana River. There is even a public bike repair station.

Nice looking park. Nice running paths. Well maintained kids playground. Walked the board walk over the shore but didnt see any manatees.

Great place to come relax and watch the sun set.

Nice park for a walk, to take the kids, or for a picnic. Decent river views, paved paths, boardwalk, and plenty of benches and picnic tables

Great park to take a lovely walk next to the river. The exercise stations were educational and interactive. I like the bike rentals out in the parking lot. The free library is wonderful. We had a great time watching the wildlife and the sunset. Also decent place to catch pokemon.

Nice park with play a ground and a very nice walking trail with exercise stations. It has a covered spots with picnic tables and has out door grills and has public bathrooms.. But for the last 6 years we have never seen 1 MANATEE.. but we have seen plenty of birds + turtles are in the pond, you can see them from the little bridge on the walking trail.. they have a lot of covered seating to look over the river... Shelf cloud pictures were taken in Cocoa Beach over the Banana River. And the Ship was at Port Canaveral

Love this place. Great view. Pet friendly too. Pavilions are great.

Nice places for kids and families. Dog friendly! Paths are a bit small but has a few nice views of the river. Doubt you can actually see manatees so don’t go there expecting to see them. But it was clean and easily accessible.

This is an absolutely beautiful park on the water. A great break when visiting cocoa beach. Nice paved walking trails. Beautiful decks overlooking the water. A well maintained playground for the kids. Nice clean bathrooms and free parking. Definitely worth visiting. Would highly recommend.

Nice park with a great deck space. Ample parking, some shaded parking and easy to get in and out of. I saw no manatees but sound of turtle and made some birds upset

Fun playground with nice walking trail.

Nice serene park with walking trail.

Always clean, lots of wildlife and nice paths to walk with our stroller.

Relaxing park to unwind and watch the sun set.

Didnt see any manatees at the end of November, but still enjoyed the beautiful landscape and water views. There is free parking (even an electric vehicle charging station), public restrooms, and plenty of benches and picnic tables. Overall, a very nice park to exercise or spend time with the family.

Was nice to get my Burger King food and go and park to eat. Then a walk around.

Nice place take walk

It is very small. We expected their to be more to it. Enjoyed the free library. Such a Great idea.

I love this place...we do the fitness trail, enjoy the views and points of interest!

Nice peaceful area to relax.

What a wonderful park on the river! Includes a boardwalk & covered seating to see the river & wildlife, a walking path with exercise stops, gated playground & covered pavilion. My Labrador loved the squirrels & birds. Dogs allowed on leash only.

Definitely dog friendly but please be sure to pickup after them.. Beautiful park...

Beautiful views. Great trails with informative displays. Updated playground for kids. Its a great place to take the family and I notice a lot of picture taking because it is quite a beautiful park.

Great park on the water with a walking/fitness course, a playground for kids and a small covered area with picnic tables. There is a small boardwalk with covered seating areas overlooking the water as well. It is a beautiful little park. It made for a perfect spot to walk my dog because of the stocked doggy bag dispensers along the walking trail, too.

Nice little park for a short walk. Cool amount of wild life in the ponds. Spotted a kingfisher and a bunch of soft shell turtles.

Great little park looks like a nice play for families.

Nice park, but we did not see manatees. I am not suprised by this however, because i previously looked into it and saw this wasnt the ideal spot.

We saw many birds, dolphin, a beautiful sunset. This is a great place to go for exercise with family, dog, or alone. It is accessible and has great parking and facilities. You will feel safe and enjoy a visit here.

Saw some turtles ans squirrels, but no manatees. Nice playground plenty of open space and a fitness trail. Park is well maintained and worth a visit.

Very well kept and safe. A great place for pictures of sunsets over the Banana River.

Beautifully landscaped park, with jetty on the water. No manatees but turtles in the water.

Well kept, clean bathrooms and nice porches from which to sit and observe

Very nice park and a great view. Great place to catch the sunset.

Great place for a walk, and provides shade when it gets too hot. Very clean.

Really liked this tiny park. Very nice boardwalk and playground

Nice little park on the water with a playground and access to sit in the shade. No manatees when we were there, even though it is winter. Also, amusing sign--no pets followed by a pet clean-up station. We also saw several dogs being walked there. Have been told the sign says underneath no pets .... except for dogs on leash.

Lively quiet natural samctuary for several types of birds, turtles, manatees. We enjoyed it so much!

This is an okay park for a short walk. More landscaping maintenance would be nice.

Peaceful,clean..just amazing all the way around!!

Serene park where you can walk, run, do zumba, yoga, bootcamp, or just enjoy nature

Very nice & clean park to walk the dog or to just sit and look over the water.

Very well maintained park. Great for a short walk. Has a nice kids playground. Lots of tables in the shade and a few public BBQs. Washroom is clean. Also 2 working EV charging spots.

I think the names just for manatees not that it’s a spot to normally see them. However it’s beautiful, many fish,turtles,and birds. Wife had a great time watching the birds and squirrels play. Glad we stopped in on our vacation to relax

Wasnt any manatees around. Everything was over grown ,was hard to see the water.

Nice relaxing park with a shaded board walk, kids playground and views of the Banana river. Theres a free EV charging station FYI.

We loved this little park. There was no sign of any manatees, but I had checked reviews and nobody had ever seen any manatees there so I really was not expecting to see any manatees. Theres a lovely little lake with turtles and some birds, lovely peaceful serene park. Theres a picnic table and chairs under a lovely sheltered area. There are restrooms also. Theres a lovely wooden boardwalk along the Riverside. Lovely park to walk around, small but pretty and there are some gym equipment about the walking areas

Didnt see any manatees, but dun place!

Beautiful and clean. We walked around and actually saw dolphins swimming near the shore. Best Christmas present ever.

Wonderful park. Nice boardwalk with benches so a person can sit in the shade. Had a breeze on a hot day. Nit as crowded as the beach and could enjoy the water.

Thanks for the nice place to charge our EV!It brought your nice village a little business.We ate at Thai and at McDs.

Didnt see any mannatees but saw some turtles. Wrong time of year to catch them here.

This is a tour stop for us when we provide e-bike and bicycle tours of Port Canaveral. Great place to visit.

Beautiful and quiet local park with walking trail and panoramic views of the water.

Such a beautiful place to walk and enjoy a sunset

Absolutely beautiful! Saw the manatees eating, and other wildlife.

On the bay in Brevard county. You can see Dolfins playing in the water, and manatee as well. Nice fitness walk area, and a pretty shoreline with a nice seating area to look over the bay. There is also restrooms.

An unassuming little park that we spent several hours at. Great place to catch some manatees grazing in the wild.

Really nice park for walking and playing. Very cute and a nice place to stop but don’t expect to see any actual manatees.

Love this place. Also was here when artist stsrted to make the sculpture and finish. Have photos each step was great

No manatees....but saw dolphins playing!

Very peaceful place to visit!

Super clean and sooo tranquil.

Beautiful nature park and small playground.

Beautiful park with plenty of areas of sun and shade. We saw lots of dolphins and big sea birds. We heard some manatees but didnt see them, most likely because we were there at noon, not the best time to observe them.

Nice park to walk around Ill be going back when the weather warms up to see the manatee.

Didnt get to see any manatees but the park was relaxing and peaceful. There were a few curious soft shelled turtles that scurried about in the adjacent pool oh and the massive amounts of dragonflies is an added bonus. They seemed to follow me around and surrounded me as i was taking photos. So dope.

It was beautiful with such a great Sunser

Pretty. Calm. Interesting walk.
