Full Breakdown
Sand Point Park is Titusville's designated event venue on the Indian River, and City Code Chapter 14, Article III sets the rules. Under Sec. 14-61(a), anyone wanting a pavilion must reserve it through the city manager or a designee, who assigns the specific facility based on availability; reservation applications and fee payment are due forty-eight hours before use, and individual picnic tables and grills not reserved run first-come, first-served. Refunds under Sec. 14-61(c) require 48 hours' advance cancellation notice and a five-dollar administrative charge is deducted regardless.
Beyond simple pavilion rental, Sec. 14-61(l) requires a permit for any public assembly, entertainment, tournament, religious gathering, demonstration, parade, procession or meeting of any kind, religious, social or political, held anywhere in the park. Permits are also separately required under other subsections of 14-61 for amplified sound or musical performances (subsection (k)), erecting temporary structures or tents (subsection (e)), selling or soliciting (subsection (m)), posting signs (subsection (n)), and discharging fireworks (subsection (q)). Sec. 14-62 sets the actual permitting mechanism: any permit required under Sec.
14-61 is obtained from the city manager or designee, who may attach reasonable conditions or refuse to issue a permit in the interest of public health, safety and general welfare. A denial can be appealed to the city council. Permit fees track the general rules and regulations schedule kept on file with the city clerk rather than being fixed in the code text itself. until dark under Sec. 14-61(d); after-hours access, like after-hours events, needs a separate city manager permit. Ballfields at Sand Point Park are carved out under Sec.
14-64: they run on Brevard County's adopted rules rather than this article. This is a park-use permit regime, not a general special-events ordinance; it applies only to activity within Sand Point Park itself.

Under Sec. 14-65, anyone violating a park rule, including holding an unpermitted gathering, may be immediately expelled or ejected from Sand Point Park.
