Land Use Description – Recreation areas include parks, outdoor fitness, athletic fields, recreation buildings, centers and clubs. Examples of recreation land uses include KARS Park North and KARS Park South complexes. Coastal beaches and supporting facilities are part of the Cape Canaveral National Seashore and are classified as Operational Buffer/Public Use. Camping, fishing, picnic and related outdoor activity areas associated with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge are also classified as Operational Buffer/Public Use.

Future Development – Additional Recreational land use areas are not planned, so future development and/or expansion of recreational functions, if necessary, will occur within the already established recreational land areas.
