Finding locations to bike off-road in the beaches area of Florida is pretty scarce, but there is one place to go trail riding in Melbourne… at Wickham Park! This park is a large community park with a multitude of activities. You will find a walking path, community center, playground, frisbee golf course, a campground, and more. But our favorite thing at Wickham park are the many trails on the outer edges of the park.
To locate the bike trails, head into the park at the entrance off of Parkway Drive. After coming into the park, take a right. Follow the loop all the way around, past the dog park, to the outer edge by the Lake. See GPS spot here. There is parking available as well as a restroom.
The bike trails at Wickham park are one of the few places in the area where you can find drops, small hills, and a few jumps. While most of the trail is flat is suitable for beginners, there are some more advanced areas. This is indicated by different color signs. Most of the trails are packed sand and fairly flat. This makes this area suitable for trail running and hiking as well. You will find some softer sand mixed in as well. It can be confusing out on the trails, so be sure to take a picture of the trail map before entering!
