Favorite spot to go downtown Sarasota. Beautiful park with lovely views; great for families and pets. A big, open area to walk or hang out, a park for kiddos, and a spot for food and drinks!

Very nice park facing the waters and marina. The playground was of course the main highlight. The playground was well shaded by trees AND canopies. Perfect spot to cool down while letting our daughter play. There is also a set of tunnels at one end of the play area with plenty of seats.

very relaxing with nice views of the beach, got a few bench swings! short promenade Parking was completely packed on Saturday at 5pm, but I walked over from the Marie Selby gardens parking. romantic date: Marie Selby gardens followed by lunch at O'Leary's cafe, walk through Bayfront Park, sitting on a bench swing facing the water. public restrooms are clean, but the toilets are interestingly low and cold stainless steel

This place is soo cool. There are so many statues and different things to look at. They have a nice play ground. Lots of bench swings by the water. There's is even a snack shop. We walked around it a night a couple of times. It was so relaxing and peaceful. Can't wait to go back one day.

Oak avenue or Park avenue. They are short beach access so you don't have to carry it to far. Bayfront park is another good location because it has restrooms and a shower. Plus you can explore the canal's by going underneath the bridge to the right.
