Osprey Acres Stormwater Park & Nature Reserve

This 84-acre facility boasts a range of natural Florida ecosystems including uphill pine, mesic oak hammock, a small scrub area, and man-made wetlands. Having these various habitats promotes a wealth of biodiversity within the property. Originally slated for more than 400 residential parcels, Osprey Acres was bought by Indian River County, not only to preserve these fragile ecosystems, but to aid in further treatment of stormwater and reverse osmosis reject water prior to their discharge into the Indian River Lagoon.
