About Veterans Memorial Park

Welcome to Veterans Memorial Park, a community centerpiece on 400 South Sykes Creek Parkway in Merritt Island, Florida. The park houses the Brevard Veterans Memorial Center (BVMC)—a museum, library, and memorial plaza—and is developing an amphitheater designed to host concerts and large community events. While pavilion and park rentals were suspended as of December 2025 and redirected to Brevard County Parks, the venue remains a trusted site for Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies and related activities. This page provides practical details to help you plan a visit or event, including seating information, parking, transportation options, and nearby accredited hotels and restaurants. We’ve got you covered with insider details to help you secure your seats and make the most of your trip to Merritt Island.

Seating and capacity: The venue describes seating as tiered lawn seating with an estimated capacity of 2,350 for seating areas and a total event capacity over 5,000 when including adjacent park spaces. There is no published fixed seating chart. Note: Pavilion or park rentals were suspended as of December 2025 and redirected to Brevard County Parks. If you’re planning an event, we recommend confirming current policy and space with BVMC or Brevard County Parks for the latest availability.
