Micco, Florida Parks and Trails

Micco has two Brevard County parks with Micco addresses, Micco Park and the South Mainland Community Center, and the county's Micco Scrub Sanctuary is on Micco Road.

Brevard County's own parks directory data lists exactly two parks in Micco: Micco Park at 9655 Riverview Dr and the South Mainland Community Center at 3700 Allen Ave, both in ZIP Code 32976 (Brevard County Parks and Recreation locations data, records last edited September 16, 2026). Both addresses fall inside Micco CDP in Brevard County according to the Census Bureau geocoder (Census geocoder, Micco Park; Census geocoder, South Mainland Community Center). Micco is unincorporated, so there is no city parks department; Brevard County Parks and Recreation runs both sites.

The third Micco site is a nature preserve rather than a park. The county Environmentally Endangered Lands program lists the Micco Scrub Sanctuary at 500 Micco Road and describes it as protecting 1,322 acres of scrubby flatwoods and mesic flatwoods habitat (Brevard County EEL sanctuary data; the EEL layer was last edited July 9, 2026, per its layer record).

Micco Park is a partly shaded 9.32-acre county park on Riverview Dr with pavilions and grills, a playground, ball courts and a baseball field, open from dawn to dusk.

Brevard County describes Micco Park as a quiet neighborhood park partly shaded by oaks and other native trees, with room for both active and passive recreation (county park record for Micco Park). The county amenity list for Micco Park marks baseball, basketball, tennis, a playground, picnic pavilions, restrooms, parking, accessibility, walking and jogging. Hours are dawn to dusk except for scheduled use.

Micco Park has no community center building in the county amenity list, while the South Mainland Community Center on Allen Ave is the Micco site with a community center gymnasium.

The South Mainland Community Center at 3700 Allen Ave in Micco is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed on Saturdays and Sundays.

Brevard County lists the South Mainland site as a 10.38-acre community park with a community center gymnasium and a canopied playground (county park record for South Mainland Community Center). The South Mainland amenity list marks basketball, volleyball, geocaching, a picnic area, a playground, restrooms, parking and accessibility.

On weekends, when the center is closed, the outdoor courts and pavilions at Micco Park are listed as open from dawn to dusk except for scheduled use. The same county phone line, (772) 663-8748, is listed for both Micco sites.

The Micco Scrub Sanctuary on Micco Road is the Micco area's trail system, a free, county-managed preserve with marked loops open for day use every day.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail lists Micco Scrub Sanctuary as free to enter, managed by Brevard County and open daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail, Micco Scrub Sanctuary). It describes a 3-mile red loop with the best birding but little shade and a 1.5-mile white loop with some shade and pine woods species. The trail listing names the Florida Scrub-Jay as the species highlight, notes trail maps at the entrance kiosk, and warns that parts of the Micco Scrub trails may flood after heavy rains.

Planning details from the same Micco Scrub listing: there is parking but no restroom, and the listing also names horseback riding and a paddling launch among site amenities. The county sanctuary record marks hiking, biking, mountain biking, horseback riding, geocaching and wildlife viewing as permitted activities, and gives the Environmentally Endangered Lands phone number as 321-255-4466 (county EEL record for Micco Scrub Sanctuary).

Two official listings disagree on the Micco Scrub basics, which is worth knowing before relying on either. The county record gives 1,322 acres and a Palm Bay, FL 32909 mailing address for 500 Micco Road, while the FWC birding trail page gives 1,736 acres and a Micco, FL 32976 address for the same entrance. The deeper Micco Scrub Sanctuary guide covers the preserve's land acquisition history in detail.

The FWC boat ramp inventory lists no ramp with a Micco address; for the Micco area it lists launches in Grant and on Roseland Road and in Sebastian.

The Brevard County launch in that FWC inventory query is the Fisherman's Landing Park Paddlecraft Beach at 5795 U.S. Highway 1 in Grant, a hand launch on the Indian River Lagoon with no fee (FWC Florida Boat Ramp Inventory). In Indian River County, the inventory lists Donald MacDonald Park and Campground at 12315 Roseland Road (one lane, open 7:00 AM to sunset, no fee) and Dale Wimbrow Park at 11805 Roseland Road (one lane, open 7:30 AM to sunset, no fee), both on the south prong of the Sebastian River.

On the Indian River Lagoon, the same FWC data lists the City of Sebastian's Main Street Public Boat Ramp at 1300 Indian River Drive, open 24 hours with no fee.

Brevard County runs every county park listed in Micco: Parks and Recreation operates Micco Park and the South Mainland Community Center, and the Environmentally Endangered Lands program manages the Micco Scrub Sanctuary.

Micco Park and the South Mainland Community Center share the county phone line (772) 663-8748 and the email [email protected] (county park contact data). Micco Park falls in Brevard County Commission District 3 on the county's Commissioner Districts GIS layer, which posts no edit date (Brevard County GIS commissioner districts).

Two Micco parks guides go deeper: the Micco Park and South Mainland Community Center guide and the Micco Scrub Sanctuary guide. For county-wide services, the Brevard County guide and the Brevard County safety guide cover county services, and the Palm Bay and Sebastian town guides cover those two cities. The Florida topics library covers statewide subjects. Last verified: October 15, 2026, on the Brevard County Parks and Recreation location data and the FWC website.
