About Space View Park

Space View Park sits on the Indian River shore, within sight of the launch pads. The city describes it as a walk-through honoring American astronauts and the behind-the-scenes workers who helped the country lead in space exploration. Visitors can compare their hands with handprints of the Mercury astronauts, view mission logos carved in black granite, and follow a walkthrough of space history. A live NASA control room audio feed plays at the river's edge, and picnic shelters and restrooms are available. The park is close to downtown Titusville and nearby restaurants.
