On the shore of the Indian River in downtown
Titusville, this 2.63-acre community river park is landscaped
with artistic
sculpture, foliage, palms and hardwood trees. Benches, boardwalk,
fishing and boat dock, and a sheltered pier inspire leisurely
strolls. Located less than 15 miles directly across from the Kennedy Space Center launch pads.
Historic Interest
As a cultural and historical site, the park features a Veterans
Memorial and the U.S. Space Walk of Fame.
In a courtyard encircled
by ten granite monuments, the 80-foot Circle of Memories dedicated
to All Veterans of All Wars, is the nation’s first to
honor all American veterans and recognize all commissioned
military engagements from the Revolutionary War to the Gulf
Conflict. Over 2,550 memorial bricks pave the circle of memories.
In the adjacent walk are bricks identifying each student who
received the Veterans Memorial Scholarship.
On the waterfront
with Old Glory in the center, is a circle of service flags
of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, and Merchant
Marine. The Veterans Memorial Foundation, a volunteer non-profit
organization, created and sponsors the memorial.
Near the attractive restroom facility,
the Mercury Monument profiles the first seven astronauts
and inspires reflection and strolls along the U.S. Space Walk
of Fame. At the Gemini Monument, plaques set in the
ground commemorate each mission, with Astronaut handprints mounted
alongside. Following the shoreline northward and eventually connecting
more waterfront parks, additional U.S. Space Walk of Fame exhibits
will include the Apollo program.
Conceived by the Space Walk of
Fame Foundation and now a part of Titusville's redevelopment plan, the
riverfront promenade with a space vehicle launch view will feature educational
stations highlighting achievements of individuals and events. During
launches, the Foundation broadcasts live audio feeds from NASA Direct
into the park. Completion of the Parks Referendum Project portion
of the U.S. Spacewalk of Fame is pending due to the City of Titusville's
completion of hurricane damage & seawall.
