Erna Nixon Park is a public park located on 1200 Evans Road, Melbourne, Florida. It contains a 3000feet elevated boardwalk through a natural Florida hammock.[1] The park contains ferns and old live oaks with hanging Spanish moss. It provides a natural habitat for several species of birds and small animals, such as the gopher tortoise and indigo snake.[1] The park also hosts frequent events, such as the semi-annual Moonlight Stroll that takes place in the evening and includes live music.[1] The park is named after Melbourne Village naturalist Erna Nixon (B: November 3, 1891).
