    Beautiful waterfront park. Nice walking trails and a nice playground. Beautiful view of downtown Sarasota from the other side of the Bay!

    Beautiful view and lots of playground equipment, although it is spread out in three areas. Also adult exercise facilities. Great swimming area for kids too. Shallow and calm. Water shoes recommended since it is a lagoon. Nature boardwalk also well-kept.

    The boardwalk in the mangroves is absolutely fantastic. Nice little park to walk around or eat lunch.

    This is such a lovely park. It has a lot of open space, picnic pavillions, and a water view to die for. It actually has 2 water views. On one side, you can watch the boats go by from the marina and wonder where these people get all that money to own and maintain these beautiful boats. The other side overlooks Sarasota Bay and downtown. Both sides are really pretty. There's a pay electric car changer and a little restaurant on the incoming road. Thank goodness, the snowbirds are finally leaving and we got a picnic table today!

    The pier walk through the mangrove forest may have been the best part of my week in Sarasota.
