Bill Madden Park

Facilities and Amenities

This Palm Bay location offers something for everyone, regardless of age or interests. The heart of the park is definitely the children's playground, a safe haven where the little ones can let their imagination run wild. Kids can spend hours exploring the multiple slides, conquering rock climbing walls, swinging across various monkey bars, or taking a spin on several spinning features that never fail to produce giggles and smiles.

Need a break? The covered picnic areas with tables provide an ideal spot to recharge and enjoy a family meal in the shade. You can even bring your grilling skills to the park's barbecue grill for a proper outdoor feast. And don't worry about finding a restroom - clean restroom facilities are conveniently located within the large pavilion area.

Playground Features

The playground here isn't your average neighborhood play space. It's impressively diverse with around 11 slides, 6 swings (including handicap-accessible and baby options), and 6 rock climbing walls ranging from easy to challenging. What makes this playground special are unique elements like the rope web climbing structures - something you won't find at many other parks in the area.

The entire playground is wheelchair accessible, making fun available to everyone. We love the educational touches too - displays featuring ASL and Braille writing and greetings in multiple languages add an unexpected learning dimension. The mulch ground covering provides a soft landing pad for all those inevitable tumbles during enthusiastic play sessions.

Recreation Opportunities

If you're looking to get active, Bill Madden Park offers several options. The sports fields accommodate various activities, great for impromptu games or regular team practices.

Skateboarders will appreciate the dedicated skate park where beginners and pros alike can practice their tricks. And sometimes, the best recreation is simply finding a quiet spot on the open green spaces to read a book or enjoy some peaceful downtime.

Four-legged family members are welcome too, just make sure to keep them controlled at all times. A water fountain is available when you need to hydrate.

You might get lucky and visit when the ice cream truck makes its rounds - always a highlight for the younger crowd! The park welcomes visitors daily from 7AM to 8PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to enjoy all it has to offer.

The park regularly transforms into a celebration venue for children's birthday parties and occasional community events. The park's range of amenities, location, and inclusive design make it accessible to Palm Bay residents of all ages and abilities.
