I have been playing raquetball at this park for the last few months and could not believe there was not a cache at this beautiful park. So i had to hide one :) This is fairly large ammo can. Loaded with kids stuff.

The Merritt Island/Beaches Parks Operations office is located at this 18.38-acre community river park. Situated in a wildlife sanctuary, the park caters to both active and passive recreational enthusiasts. The boat ramp and a natural launch area provide access for boaters, rowers and paddlers into Sykes Creek leading to the Barge Canal or Banana River. Fishing is popular from the shoreline and fishing dock. An exercise trail, softball fields, basketball, tennis and racquetball courts invite fitness and active play.
The Community Center features ongoing activities, a gymnasium, a small kitchen and meeting rooms. Another meeting room and a banquet sized kitchen are located at the event pavilion. Additional facilities that make this park attractive for group gatherings and community events include a large pavilion, 3 small pavilions, a playground, benches, restrooms, and drinking fountains. For meetings and small group activity, the new Community Building is conveniently located at the park entrance (a Referendum Project to be completed early 2005--for more information click on the Referendum Project link above).
