Kiwanis Hobart Park and Hobart Ball Fields

Kiwanis Hobart Park is an Indian River County park at 5555 77th St, Vero Beach, FL 32967, open daily from 7am to sunset.

The county park page gives the address as 5555 77th St, Vero Beach, FL 32967 and the hours as Daily 7am-Sunset (Indian River County, Kiwanis Hobart Park page). It describes a nice, wooded park with lots of pine trees and a lake across from the park. Chapter 10 of the county comprehensive plan locates Kiwanis Hobart Park on 77th Street, between U.S. 1 and 58th Avenue, and ranks it first among county owned parks in size and development (Comprehensive Plan Chapter 10, Kiwanis Hobart Park).

Two other county facilities sit nearby. The Hobart Ball Fields are on the corner of 77th Street and 58th Avenue (Hobart Ball Fields page), and the county lists its Fairgrounds and Expo Center at 7955 58th Ave (Fairgrounds and Expo Center page). In the plan's account, the park's land also takes in a 36 hole public golf course and the fairground site; a separate Digital Towns guide covers the fairgrounds.

Kiwanis Hobart Park has two large pavilions with built-in grills, 19 small picnic tables with grills, a playground, a water fountain, restrooms and a lake.

Every row above comes from the Kiwanis Hobart Park page, which also tells visitors to contact the Parks Division to check availability on the two large pavilions (Kiwanis Hobart Park amenities and description). The $53.50 pavilion permit fee is the amount posted on that Indian River County page in October 2026. The county's adopted budget also lists, among Parks Division accomplishments for 2024/2025, completed construction of new restroom and sewer connection at Kiwanis Hobart Park (Adopted Budget 2025/2026, Parks Division accomplishments).

No, Indian River County bars pets, alcohol and motorized boats at Kiwanis Hobart Park, though bank fishing on the lake is permitted.

The rules block on the county page cites sections of County Ordinance 205.03 for each rule (Kiwanis Hobart Park rules).

The Hobart Ball Fields page repeats the same list and adds No golfing activities, citing 205.03.27(b) (Hobart Ball Fields rules). Last verified: October 22, 2026, against the Indian River County pages for Kiwanis Hobart Park, the Hobart Ball Fields, field reservations and the fairgrounds, plus comprehensive plan Chapters 8 and 10 and the FY2025/26 budget.

The Hobart Ball Fields, at the corner of 77th Street and 58th Avenue, have a 200 multi-purpose ball field and a lighted 300 multi-purpose ball field with a concession stand, and the county says the complex is about to be renovated.

The county page lists an unpaved parking area, restrooms and drinking fountains, daily hours of 7am to sunset, and says the fields are open for use unless prepared for games (Indian River County, Hobart Ball Fields page). It also says Hobart Ballfields is about to undergo an entire renovation, and gives no date. The field reservations page describes the same two fields and adds a press box to the concession (Athletic Field/Court Reservations page). The Indian River County comprehensive plan notes that youth baseball is played at the North County Regional Park and that Hobart field is also used as needed for youth baseball (Chapter 10, recreation programs).

The Hobart page prints two phone numbers for reservations. Its description says to contact the Recreation Department at 772 226-1780, while its Useful Information block lists Field Reservations: 772 226-1727, the same number shown at the top of the page. The county field reservations page uses 772-226-1780 for Indian River County Parks, Recreation and Conservation.

Field reservations in Indian River County start with the online Field/Court Reservation Request, at least 30 days before the activity, and multipurpose field fees as posted run from $25 an hour to $175 a day.

The county field reservations page says staff will contact the requester within 72 hours, that reservations are first-come, first-served when available, that requests must be submitted 30 days prior to an activity (exceptions may apply), and that a reservation is confirmed upon receipt of payment (Indian River County field reservation rules). As posted on that page in October 2026, a Multipurpose Ball Field rents for $25/Hour to $175/Day and lights add $25 per hour, and the page notes that fees vary with the length of rental, lighting, mounds and field preparation. The full county fee list sits in a separate Digital Towns guide to Indian River County parks and recreation.

Indian River County documents give Kiwanis Hobart Park two sizes: 95 acres in one comprehensive plan table and approximately 654 acres in the plan text and the conservation lands table.

The park inventory table in Chapter 10 of the Indian River County comprehensive plan lists Kiwanis Hobart Park as a county regional park of 95 acres (Chapter 10 park inventory table). The narrative in the same chapter says the park is approximately 654 acres in size, with baseball, softball and soccer fields, basketball courts, picnic tables, outdoor grills, foot trails and several lakes, and classifies it as an urban district park because of its size and development. The conservation lands table in Chapter 8 also lists Kiwanis-Hobart Park at 654 acres, owned by Indian River County (Chapter 8 conservation lands table). Chapter 10 also calls Kiwanis-Hobart a lake park, due to the presence of several lakes located within the park's boundaries.

Indian River County lists these reservable ball field sites: the Hobart Ball Fields, West Wabasso Park and the south county and north county regional parks.

These sites and their descriptions come from the Indian River County field reservations page, which says Fran B. Adams Park sits within the St. Sebastian Buffer Preserve State Park, north of CR-512 (Field/Court Reservation Locations, Indian River County). For anything else, the Kiwanis Hobart Park page ends with the county's general Contact Us block, 772 567 8000 at 1801 27th Street, Vero Beach (county contact block).
