Really enjoyed walking my dogs here.

Really enjoyed walking my dogs here.
The scenery is beautiful. There are picnic tables, benches, dog waste stations, bathrooms, a playground and plenty of room to walk, run, bycical, roller skate or to do whatever. You can come out and watch the rowing competition and the Sarasota Circus has a tent next to the park and the UTC mall is right there. You have many food choices if you get hungry. Another great thing is that it's right off of I-75. For me this is great because I drive in from Myakka City.
Tge only issue is the gator that lives in the water near the picnic areas. Be aware and safe especially if you have children or pets.
