Barber Street Sports Complex Guide

The Barber Street Sports Complex at 1101 Barber Street is the City of Sebastian's main athletic grounds, with seven ball and multi-purpose fields, a skate park, basketball courts, batting cages and the Creative Playground (City of Sebastian).

The city calls Barber Street the premier athletic facility for the City of Sebastian (City of Sebastian), and its parks list describes the complex as host to the city's sporting fields (City of Sebastian parks A through G). The Parks and Recreation Department carries out daily maintenance at the sports complex, which it counts as four baseball and softball fields and three multi-purpose athletic fields (City of Sebastian Parks and Recreation).

Two street numbers point to the same Sebastian grounds. The city facility listing uses 1101 Barber Street, Sebastian, FL 32958 (City of Sebastian), while the city skate park page places the skate park at 1121 Barber Street inside the complex (City of Sebastian). For a first visit, the address matching the activity, ball fields or skate park, is the one to put into a map.

Barber Street carries two more small city parks in Sebastian: Garden Club Park, a passive park with a lake view at the corner of Barber Street and Dominican Terrace, and George Street Park at the intersection of Barber and George Streets (City of Sebastian). All three sit within a city system that the department puts at 23 parks and facilities and over 165 acres of park land under its landscape maintenance. Among the parks the department names alongside Barber Street are Hardee Park, Friendship Park, the Sebastian Bark Park, Riverview Park and the Pickleball Complex, and its duties include repairs to playground and picnic facilities and upkeep of restroom facilities in nine parks (City of Sebastian Parks and Recreation).

The City of Sebastian names two youth organizations based at Barber Street: Sebastian River Area Little League and Sebastian Sharks Youth Football and Cheerleading (City of Sebastian).

The field list at Barber Street follows the baseball divisions: two Little League baseball fields, one intermediate baseball and softball field and one senior baseball field, with three multi-purpose athletic fields alongside them (City of Sebastian). The city facility page does not post league schedules, registration dates or league contacts, so those come from Sebastian River Area Little League and the Sebastian Sharks directly.

City programs run elsewhere. The Parks and Recreation Department lists Star Gaze, Summer Concerts in the Park and Kids Fest among its special events, with Recreation Coordinator Lisa Phillips at 772-255-4568 for event questions, and Community Center classes such as Tai Chi for Health and Gentle Yoga through Recreation Supervisor Kathy Falzone at 772-589-1009 (City of Sebastian Parks and Recreation).

The Sebastian Skate Park at 1121 Barber Street is open daily from 8 a.m. to sunset, unsupervised, with helmets required for every skater (City of Sebastian).

The city lists the rules: skateboards and rollerblades only, with no bicycles or other wheeled equipment; shirts and shoes at all times; knee pads, wrist guards and elbow pads highly recommended; no food, gum, candy, glass, alcohol or smoking; no pets or personal belongings such as backpacks and coolers inside the skating area; no use when the surface is wet; and no more than fifteen skaters at one time. The City of Sebastian may close the park for weather, wet pavement or any unsafe condition (City of Sebastian).

Supervision ended on September 29, 2019. Since then participants skate at their own risk and are told to ride within their own ability, and the city cites Florida Statute 316.0085 in stating it is not liable for injuries to skaters or spectators at the Sebastian Skate Park. Aggressive behavior is not tolerated, the city is not responsible for personal belongings, and unsafe conditions are to be reported to the City of Sebastian immediately (City of Sebastian).

The skate park at Barber Street has been completely rebuilt, according to the city, and its concrete features include three ramps, a jersey barrier, boxes and the entire skating floor (City of Sebastian). The city page does not give the year of the rebuild.

The City of Sebastian Parks and Recreation Department runs Barber Street from Sebastian City Hall at 1225 Main St., phone 772-228-7054, with Richard Blankenship as Parks and Recreation Director (City of Sebastian).

The department directory also lists Antoine Van Meir as Parks and Recreation Superintendent and gives the director's line as 772-388-4414 (City of Sebastian). The two city pages disagree on the contact: the Barber Street facility page still names Brian Benton as its contact, at the department's main number 772-228-7054 (City of Sebastian), while the department directory lists Richard Blankenship as director and does not list Benton. As of October 14, 2026, the department directory is the more current listing, and the main number reaches the same office either way.

The city's rental program does not list the Barber Street fields. The department handles rentals of the Yacht Club, Community Center, park pavilions and Riverview Park facilities (City of Sebastian). For those venues a date is held only after the city receives a rental permit application, a refundable deposit payable to the City of Sebastian and the rental fee, which varies by facility, City of Sebastian residency and other factors; no date is penciled in without all three. Payment is made in person at the City Hall and Parks and Recreation office, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., closed daily for lunch from noon to 1 p.m., and Ron Paul at 772-228-7054 coordinates reservations (City of Sebastian). Once a reservation is complete, the facility key is picked up the Friday before a weekend event, or the day before a weekday event (City of Sebastian). Field time at Barber Street is a question for that same office. Last verified: October 14, 2026, on the City of Sebastian website.
