Review:

Erna Nixon Park is somewhat of an enigma due to its location. It is just down the street from Melbourne Square, one of the busiest shopping malls on the Florida coast, and yet once visitors enter, all of suburbia quickly disappears. It is by no means the most expansive park and has just a single loop of less than a mile in distance, but that doesn’t detract from its beauty or appeal. It features a simple, easily accessible raised boardwalk that takes visitors into the depths of this Florida forest for some exceptional wildlife and plant life viewing opportunities. The entire trailhead is lined with interpretive markers featuring pictures with informative content.
