Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Located at the northeast intersection of US 1 and Pineda Causeway in North Melbourne. Pineda Landing Park provides limited boating access to the Indian River Lagoon. This ramp is theonly public access to the Lagoon in a 16-mile area from Cocoa to Melbourne. The 4 1/2 acre park also offers minimal opportunities for picnicing and small group meetings in an existing 1,000 square foot house which is used as a community building.Due to the current location of this building, public access is restricted to the north 1/3 of the park. Assistance is needed in providing public boating facilities in the central section of Brevard County.
