Sarasota Venice

17th Street Paw Park

Address: 4570 17th St, Sarasota, FL 34240, USA

Park

“Absolutely huge dog park with more than enough room to run until they're tired. Some shady areas and benches to sit while they play. They also have agility equipment and a training area which I haven't utilized with my little guy yet. He loved it so much I almost had to drag him out. So happy to have this space for him so close to our new home.”

Myakka River State Park Powerline Road Trailhead

Address: 13208 State Rd 72, Sarasota, FL 34241, USA

Park

“Only rode about 1 mile on this trail. Not a difficult trail but as stated in the park brochures very hot.”

Eastwood Park

Address: 422 W Cornelius Cir, Sarasota, FL 34232, USA

Park

“Park is up to date but the neighborhood is something another thing. Lots of broken down house and tons of cars on the lawn. Picked up a lot of garbage in the park. Small but would be nice for kids if adults cleaned up after themselves and the houses around were so sketchy.”

Myakka River State Park Big Flats Campground

Address: Myakka State Park Rd, Sarasota, FL 34240, USA

Campground Park Lodging

“Camped at Big Flats with my family the weekend of April 15th. The campsite is very nice with a fair amount of shade in the spots. The sites are a little small compared to other state parks, but not tiny. They are trying to grow new foliage between the sites and it was pretty clear there was a lot of damage to the trees from Hurricane Ian in 2022. The host, Peter, was friendly and helpful. Other campers were respectful of the quiet time. Bathrooms were dated but very clean. I would stay here again but probably wait until the weather is cooler as it was very hot in the day and there is no water area like a lake or spring to cool off. The Myakka Lake is FILLED with gators so there is no swimming. Incredible sunsets from just down the street over Big Flat Marsh where we saw deer, turkey and gators.”

Myakka River State Park Trail Marker 9

Address: Sarasota, FL 34241, USA

Park

T. Mabry Carlton Jr. Memorial Reserve

Address: 1800 Mabry Carlton Pkwy, Venice, FL 34292, USA

Park

“Beautiful Florida. The trails are well labeled. I did the Orange, which is a short 15-20 min walk, and the Red, which took a little over an hour. The #1 thing I saw and learned here is how important fire is to the natural ecosystem. There are also a handful of larger educational plaques along the trails that are a nice touch. There is ample free parking.”

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park

Address: 2523 Cocoanut Ave, Sarasota, FL 34234, USA

Park

“The park has a lot of shade trees, picnic tables and covered area which, in my opinion, is underutilized. Newtown Nation sponsors a farmers market every Friday and Saturday and has enlisted Stereo B Productions to provide music. Other vendors are encouraged to promote their business as well.”

So. Lido Nature Park Kayak Launch

Address: 190 Taft Dr, Sarasota, FL 34236, USA

Park

“It was absolutely beautiful!! It was my 1st time out kayaking, I went out alone but it was great because I could go at my own pace! I have a huge fear of dark and/or deep water ( like 5'+ ... I know....kinda sad 😂) and this place is perfect because it has both shallow ( training ) water and open to the big bay. I got to know my new kayak and figure out paddling and how to calm when about to panic. The mangrove tunnels are close by to the launch and there are many people around so a solo person doesn't feel that lonely; yet far enough away for some peace and quiet. Bathroom is close by to the launch and parking; and probably my favorite thing there is a hose to wash off your vessel. .....really my favorite favorite part.....seeing kids out way farther than myself (with adults course); it gave me a bit more courage to keep going thinking if they are ok I might be ok too.”

Deer Prairie Creek Preserve North

Address: 7001 Forbes Trail, Venice, FL 34293, USA

Park

“Beautiful area and scenery, with a lot of different trails to explore. Encountered a few armadillo's, and some orange trees. The trails we're decently large, with a decent amount of label markers throughout. There are no restrooms or out houses here. Dogs are allowed as long as they're leashed the entire time. Horses are also welcome. Upon arrival we were fortunate enough to see some cows grazing, as well as a few donkeys. Over all, this place is very peaceful and somewhere we'll return to.”

Avion Park

Bird Key Park

Address: 200 John Ringling Causeway, Sarasota, FL 34236, USA

Park

“Amazing place ! I enjoy the sunrise there , there's a lot of people walking or running. Many dogs in the mornings love to see them. The best time to see the ocean water color is around 3 p.m., it looks so pretty! At nights the bridge looks beautiful and the city lights make a great view.”

The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art

Address: 5401 Bay Shore Rd, Sarasota, FL 34243, USA

Museum Park

“Haven’t been here in many years since I was younger. New buildings, everything even nicer than I remember. Took the family for the day when the weather was nice, had a playground in the center in the park and the kiddo loved that. I loved the dioramas of the old circus setups. The grounds are as beautiful as ever and it was a great day to walk the grounds and see the many beautiful types of plants and flowers. As every time I’ve ever been always need more time, just means we will be back soon. There is so much to see, the grounds are worth the trip alone and then the museum for circus items and the art collection. You could easily fill several days or many trips to see it all.”

Ringling Bridge Causeway Park

Address: John Ringling Causeway, Sarasota, FL 34236, USA

Park

“This is the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus museum located in Sarasota Florida. It is approximately $25 for entrance fee, there's a restaurant and snack place on site along with a small art gallery gift store located in the main entrance. This is a lot of walking to do as it is located in several different buildings and is a self-guided tour along with outside rose gardens and playground areas along with a connecting path that takes you to the art museum exhibits in additional buildings.”

Oscar Scherer State Park

Address: 1843 S Tamiami Trail, Osprey, FL 34229, USA

Address: Myakka State Park Rd, Sarasota, FL 34241, USA

Park

Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park

Address: 6968 Reisterstown Rd, North Port, FL 34291, USA

Park

“Nice place to get some exercise. There is good signage at all the forks in the road and even along the trails so it is easy to navigate. The city of North Port deserves a lot of credit for that. The creek was mostly dry in March so there wasn’t much to see there. I thought the white trail had the best canopy for viewing nature so be sure to take that detour off of the yellow trail.”

Scherer Thaxton Preserve

Address: 13125 Honore Ave, Sarasota, FL 34238, USA

Park

“It is easy to miss this little gem of a preserve. I have passed it numerous times and finally decided to stop and take a look. The gravel parking lot is small, but that wasn't a problem with only one other car there. There are a few picnic tables and some benches and there is also a nice little clearing to launch a canoe or kayak. The Preserve is not very big, but it is a tranquil respite for anyone who enjoys relaxing outdoors and enjoying a little piece of undeveloped Florida.”
