F. Burton Smith Regional Park is a charming public park in Cocoa, home to gorgeous preserved hardwood hammock, prairie, and wetland ecosystem areas. Two lakes are contained within the park, including a large lake with a natural canoe launch that serves as a popular regional spot for fishing and paddling. Visitors should note that swimming is not permitted in either lake or their tributaries due to water safety concerns. A rustic tent camping site is offered along the larger lake's southern shores, along with a mile-long woodland nature trail showcasing botanical markers detailing the region's native wildlife. Picnic facilities include day-use individual picnic tables, two small visitor pavilions, and a large pavilion which can host up to 600 guests and may be rented for private special events. Other amenities include volleyball courts, horseshoe courts, and an ADA-accessible children's playground.
