Melbourne Village

| Erna Nixon Hammock Park |
Incorporated in 1957, residents are encouraged to actively participate in their community. Each member-family can vote in municipal decision-making. The town's location provides for easy access to neighboring cities' parks and recreational facilities, as well as outdoor activities such as golfing, surfing, boating, and fishing to name a few.
Bordering Melbourne Village to the east is Erna Nixon Hammock Park. This 53-acre community park is a natural Florida hammock and nature preserve featuring 3,000 feet of elevated boardwalk winding through three different ecosystems where native plant species and small animals can be viewed. A small pavilion with picnic tables and restrooms adjoins the nature center which houses educational exhibits, and the park is a popular site for outdoor festivals such as the annual Crackerfest.
Members of Melbourne Village's demographic group typically are well educated and live in two-income households. Most are homeowners in suburban neighborhoods. Typically they enjoy outdoor activities, shopping, and family outings.
