West Wabasso Park

West Wabasso Park is a county park listed at 8900 64th Avenue with a Sebastian, FL 32958 address, open daily from 7am to sunset.

Indian River County's page for the park gives the address as 8900 64th Avenue, Sebastian, FL 32958 and the hours as Daily 7am-Sunset (Indian River County, West Wabasso Park page). It describes West Wabasso Park as a welcoming neighborhood park in Sebastian offering outdoor recreation and family activities for all ages, and calls the park the entrance to the Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area. The county's Wabasso Scrub page uses the same street number, 8900 64th Ave, and tells scrub visitors that parking is available at Wabasso Park (Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area page).

One county page words the street differently. The Field/Court Reservation Locations list on the Indian River County athletic reservations page says West Wabasso Park is located at 8900 64th Street (Indian River County field reservations page), while the park page and the scrub page both say 64th Avenue. Both versions appear on county pages. A separate Digital Towns guide covers the Wabasso community and its other county parks.

West Wabasso Park has two lighted basketball courts, a lighted pickleball court and a lighted multi-purpose ball field, plus a playground, outdoor fitness equipment, a walking trail, two pavilions, 10 picnic tables and three grills.

The table follows the amenity list and description on the West Wabasso Park page (West Wabasso Park amenities). The county's field reservations page describes the same Wabasso site a little differently: a lighted 300 multi-purpose baseball/softball field with concession, press box and restrooms, two lighted basketball courts, a lighted tennis court, a children's park with play equipment, covered pavilions, picnic tables, grills, exercise equipment and a fitness trail (Field/Court Reservation Locations, West Wabasso Park). The park page names a pickleball court, and the reservations page names a tennis court.

The West Wabasso field and courts are reserved through Indian River County Parks, Recreation and Conservation at 772-226-1780 or its online Field/Court Reservation Request, at least 30 days ahead.

The West Wabasso page says for field reservations call 772-226-1780 (West Wabasso Park page). On the county reservations page, a group fills in the Field/Court Reservation Request and county staff call back within 72 hours; bookings are first-come, first-served when available, the request is due 30 days before the activity with exceptions possible, and payment confirms the reservation (Indian River County reservation process). As posted there in October 2026, a pickleball, tennis or basketball court costs $20 when available Monday to Friday from 12:00pm to 5:00pm, and the multipurpose ball field is listed at $25/Hour to $175/Day; the county adds that the total depends on how long the field is used, whether lights are on and what preparation is needed. A separate Digital Towns guide to Indian River County parks and recreation carries the full fee list.

Last verified: October 22, 2026, with fresh reads of the county's West Wabasso Park, Wabasso Scrub and field reservation pages, comprehensive plan Chapters 8 and 10, the FY2025/26 adopted budget and the 2017 Wabasso Corridor Plan.

No. Pets are barred at West Wabasso Park, as are alcohol, open fires, camping, overnight parking, equestrian activities, fireworks, remote controlled aircraft and golfing, each under a section of County Ordinance 205.03.

The rules block on the West Wabasso page cites 205.03.22 for the pet ban, 205.03.26 for alcohol, 205.03.04 for open fires, 205.03.16 for camping, 205.03.19 for overnight parking and for trespassing when the park is closed, 205.03.3 for equestrian activities, 205.03.5 for fireworks, and 205.03.27(a) and (b) for remote controlled aircraft and golfing (West Wabasso Park rules). The neighboring Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area posts a different pet rule: Dogs must be on leash, alongside no alcohol, no camping and no fires (Wabasso Scrub rules).

County sources give the Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area two sizes: 130 acres on the West Wabasso Park page and 111 acres on the scrub's own page and in the county comprehensive plan.

The West Wabasso page says the park provides access to the 130-acre Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area and calls it a 130 acre xeric scrub habitat (West Wabasso Park page). The Wabasso Scrub page lists the Conservation Area Size as 111 acres, open 7:30am to sunset year-round, and says the tract was purchased in 1995 (Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area page). The conservation lands table in Chapter 8 of the Indian River County comprehensive plan lists Wabasso Scrub at 111 acres, owned by the county (Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8, conservation lands table). The scrub keeps different hours from the park, opening at 7:30am rather than 7am. A separate Digital Towns guide covers the Wabasso Scrub and the other county scrub preserves around Sebastian.

The Indian River County budget for 2025/2026 lists these goals for West Wabasso Park: parking improvements, shade over the exercise area, and a replacement playground.

Under Parks Division 2025/2026 Goals and Objectives, the adopted budget lists Make Improvements to parking at West Wabasso Park, Install shade over exercise area at West Wabasso Park, and Replace playgrounds at West Wabasso Park and Victor Hart Sr Community Enhancement Complex (Indian River County Adopted Budget 2025/2026, Parks Division goals). The budget states these as goals for the fiscal year and gives no completion dates.

The county's long range plan describes the site in different terms. Chapter 10 of the Indian River County 2030 Comprehensive Plan lists West Wabasso Park as a county neighborhood park of 10 acres (Comprehensive Plan Chapter 10 park inventory), while the West Wabasso page labels its Park Size as Large park, with direct access to conservation area.

The county's 2017 Wabasso Corridor Plan says West Wabasso Park was minimally improved before 1995 and lists pavilions, court resurfacing, a walking trail and a playground added between 2005 and 2015.

The plan, dated April 4, 2017 for the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners, describes Wabasso as an unincorporated community proximate to the Indian River Lagoon extending west to 66th Avenue, at the meeting of routes including U.S. 1 and CR 510 (2017 Wabasso Corridor Plan). Its section on West Wabasso says that before 1995 most West Wabasso roads were unpaved, the community was on well and septic tanks, and West Wabasso Park itself was minimally improved. Its table of West Wabasso Community Improvements 1995 to 2016 lists, under West Wabasso Park Improvements, a Playground (2015), Walking Trail (2007), Pavilions (2005) and Basketball Courts and Tennis Court resurfacing (2005). Elsewhere the plan says the county used $141,439.30 in county funds for West Wabasso Park improvements when grants were not available.

The plan records that in 2016 residents expressed a desire to extend sidewalk improvements along 64th Avenue to West Wabasso Park, and its action list included WW Action 1.4, by 2020 the County Parks Division will consider extending hours of operation at West Wabasso Park, and WW Action 1.5, by 2019 refurbishing the walking trail and improving the access point to the adjacent Wabasso Scrub Conservation Area; the same entry says the last refurbishing was completed in 2018 (Wabasso Corridor Plan, West Wabasso actions). The county page today lists the park hours as daily 7am to sunset. General county questions go to the main county number printed at the foot of the West Wabasso page, 772 567 8000 (county contact block).
