Titusville Marina Park
Groundbreaking Ceremony
to be held June 23
TITUSVILLE, Fla.- Brevard County Parks & Recreation will host a groundbreaking ceremony for the renovation of Marina Park, at 501 Marina Road in Titusville on Tuesday, June 23 at 4 p.m.
Immediately following the groundbreaking, there will be a celebration at the Titusville Veterans' Memorial Fishing Pier concession building, 2 A. Max Brewer Memorial Parkway in Titusville, for the commencement of construction for the replacement of the A. Max Brewer Bridge, the fishing pier, and the docks at Parrish Park-Titusville. Light refreshments will be served at the pier concession, and the public is invited to attend.
The Marina Park Referendum Project concept originally included a new home for Titusville Little League and was awaiting the completion of softball fields at Chain of Lakes in order to relocate youth and adult softball activities from Marina Park. When the Titusville Little League disbanded, a new conceptual plan for the park was proposed by the Marina Park Referendum Committee and North Brevard Commission on Parks and Recreation.
The new plan includes increasing from one to three boat ramps with associated parking, new restrooms, picnic structures and gazebos, a playground, a skate park, a splash park, and a softball field. If additional funding is obtained, a dog park, pavilion with kitchen and restrooms, and bocce ball court will be added. This $3.2 million project is funded by the 2000 and 2006 North Brevard Recreation Special District Bond Referendums for Recreational Facilities and by the Florida Boating Improvement Program.
The Titusville Veterans' Memorial Fishing Pier was damaged extensively during Hurricane Wilma in 2005, requiring replacement of the entire structure. The replacement pier will be constructed of concrete, and its deck will be approximately six feet from the water, compared to the previous ten feet. FEMA is providing funding of up to $3.4 million.
Marina Park and Titusville Veterans' Memorial Fishing Pier are owned by the City of Titusville and operated by Brevard County Parks and Recreation Department through an interlocal agreement.
The swing span bridge on the A. Max Brewer Memorial Parkway in Titusville is being replaced with a high-rise bridge just south of the existing bridge. Underneath the north side of the new bridge will be a catwalk, for fishing and enjoyment of the Indian River Lagoon. This is a Florida Department of Transportation bridge project with the Board of County Commissioners, Florida Inland Navigation District, and Florida Department of Transportation partnering for the cost of the catwalk.
The Parrish Park-Titusville floating boat docks that were damaged during Tropical Storm Fay last year are being replaced with stationary aluminum docks and concrete pilings. Funding is provided by FEMA and the Brevard Boating Improvement Program.
