The Bay Park

"Beautiful park on the waterfront. It is an excellent place for a spectacular sunset. Don't tell anyone!"

"Nice park located between the Hyatt and Van Wezel. Small playground, nice walking trails (for dogs too), and chairs with a great view of Sarasota Bay. They have the nicest restrooms for a park, I’ve ever seen. There is a small walk-up concession window, with basic drinks and food. They have free concerts, free outdoor movie nights, free kayak tours, and free workouts as well. Best to park at the Van Wezel. There is parking on the Blvd. of the Arts, which is much closer, but space is limited and usually full."

"Wonderful new park a five minute walk from town center with a small cafe and an outdoor big screen TV. Arena, lawn and table seating. Football game is on now. Movies in the evening. Oppenheimer is playing this week so the movies are newer releases. There are often live bands during the day. Nice trails and boardwalks for a 30/40 minute walk. Kayaks available for rental. Playground and very clean rest rooms. Highly recommended."

"Attended the Multicultural event on Saturday, October 20th 2023. Beautiful event and the park is just breathtaking. Organizers were wonderful and the celebration of one year was amazing! Looking forward to kayaking and exploring other opportunities they offer."
