This is Wickham Park in Melbourne, Florida. We spent a lot of time walking the dog and riding our bikes through the park. Wickham Park is a public county park located at 2500 Parkway Drive and contains diverse recreational facilities.
This is the view as you come through the gate. if we ride our bikes it is about 2 miles from Bill's moms. By the time we ride through the park and campground and back "home" we cover 7-8 miles.
Bill and Ceilidh taking a break. The park has an off leash dog park, horseshoe pits, disc golf course, campground, equestrian center, archery range, exercise trail, nature trails, ball fields, playground, walking and jogging roadways, event pavilion, picnic pavilions, and swimming lakes.
The off leash dog park has several enclosed areas where dogs can run and play.
One of several lakes in the park. This particular lake is part of the disc golf course. A lot of discs end up in the lake and periodically you see someone wading in to retrieve their disc.
One of the lakes with the campground in the background. This lake is FULL of turtles. One day I counted 22 turtle heads in the water.

Evidently the ducks can't read the "No Swimming" sign!
The day before we left Melbourne (March 29) we took one last ride to the park. I had several crusts of old bread and some stale cornbread to get rid of, so why not feed the turtles?? There were only a couple of turtles when we started feeding. By the time we were done there were about 18 heads bobbing in the water.
Of course this squirrel was hungry too and really liked my cornbread.
Just before you complete the circle around the park you pass the equestrian center. They were setting up chutes for a rodeo the day this picture was taken.
