SANCA @ Nathan Benderson Park Review

Fantastic views & cool breezes at every turn. See ya there!

Best place to walk, run, skate, and bike. I love the view.

Great area with bike/walking path, child play area, nice breeze.

Great walking/riding trails, but some parts lack shade

MY son absolutely loved the trucks, park was big and beautiful, definately well maintained.

Best place to exercise and meet
people and dogs

Nice Daredevil rally show... Drive in, donation, live show, easy out (depending on parking). Thank you Nick Wallenda!

It is nice. Went there for the photos on the fence exhibit.

Lots of fun for the kids but one of the bounce house was a wet muddy mess

Great place to exercise with friends, kids and your fur babies...

Great venue hope they make a Reggae on the leg and annual event I believe it will grow exponentially

Beautiful lake, wide open spaces, nice playground for the little ones.

Terrific venue for events and a wonderful family friendly park

Awesome venue! Great facility for crew racing. Lots of water front for watching and cheering your favorite teams to victory.

This was an awesome time.. with a great event for the 4th of July.. thank you to Sonny's BBQ...!!

Good place to take a nature walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery

Exiting from an event takes forever! Will never attend another event there!

Great location for rollerblading and walking around the lake. Good place to watch rowing

There should be parking lot attendants to get you OUT of the lots after a event. Nightmare to get out of even with police" directing traffic on cattleman

Wanted to check out the viewing building with my boyfriend (everyone else was.) We walk in (the door is unlocked!) We try and go up the elevator and were greeted by this very rude blonde lady (maybe in her late 40's, I should have gotten her name.) She tells us that the building is closed EVEN THOUGH EVERY BODY ELSE IS GOING IN THE BUILDING. So we try to walk up the stairs and she yells out the door that we can't go up that way either. Keep in mind that other people were walking up there but she said NOTHING to them. Our taxes paid for this building I should be able to walk up like every one else. Very disappointed ..

I LOVE THIS PARK!! Only in Florida do they offer sunscreen dispensers. Amazing park with great views.

Great park, brand new, lots of free parking all over, great play grounds for little kids, super for bike riding, rowing kayaking and watching pro sports activity

We bike, rollerblade and walk our dogs here. It's beautiful and so clean!

Very peaceful. Though the location is on a busy road, the far side of the lake is quiet and scenic. Lots of birds when we visited. Not many people on a weekday afternoon.

We had a sunrise church service here on Easter Sunday. The area is usually used to host rowing competitions, but is really nice during sunrise.

Very relaxing especially for the day I had, I took the kids and I there! It was many people young and old but not as crowded as I expected! Overall a nice area for singles and families!

A great place to walk or ride your bike with access to I-75. There is even a circus going on until March with great acts.

The photo exhibition is interesting but lacks the true contrast of the originals.

Beautiful man made lake. Best rowing venue in America!

Great place for families, biking, running, or walking pets.

I LOVE this park to let my dog run. It is not super crowded during the week and other dogs have been well behaved that we have come across.

Really nice park. 3.5 miles/5k around the loop. Good for biking, skating, walking, running or just relaxing under the trees.

Very, very nice place to walk, bike, rollerblade and just about any exercise you'd like to do. Clean and people are respectful. Plenty of parking

The best riding venue in the US. It's incredible that my kids get to race regularly in a venue that has hosted the Rowing Worlds. It's also a good place to go for a run and even had some decent fishing.

Clean, good layout, ample parking great viewing facility

Went to nik walenda's drive-in stunt show and had a blast! They had golf carts back and forth to the bathrooms,just done really well for being put together so quickly!

Beautiful park in water-rich area with fantastic water sports course.

Great venue, clean and fun for biking, walking and more

Beautiful kids friendly spot with beautiful lake view.

Beautiful park and an awesome venue for the regatta! Can't wait to return.

Nice place to go exercise, for a picnic or just to breath fresh air

Awesome family park. Playground is covered and lit. Multiple paths for walking running or biking. Great rowing and community events.

Clean, great place to row. They've had a lot of renovations lately.

Online says Oct the park closes at six when there is two different signs says 8 on one and 9 on the other sign. But it is a nice park just needs more bathrooms

Great place for running, jogging,or just out for a stroll.

Love this place....looking for a nice stroll around the park this is the place...you can bring your dogs too

Beautiful smooth path, amazing for skateboarding, or longboarding. The only thing is it s really close to the high way on the one side of the path. Also there was sand on part of the path, which I don t know if that was intentional or not but I couldn t skate through it so I had to get off my board and walk around it. Otherwise it s amazing no major bumps, or cracks.

I can t say enough about how fortunate we are to have this park. It s an asset to our community.

Well designed.oasis in Sarasota, easy access to parking.

Special! Very comfortable and well done everything! Excellent!

The paved paths are nice and the scenery is pretty good. My issue it that people are always using it for exercise (running, walking biking) and there is no shade. We live in Florida where it is super hot, even in the winter, and some shade would be fabulous. Not to mention more trees around the lake would make it more aesthetically pleasing.

This place is really nice my sister was in the race over there she got for gold medals. They could improve on seating. The seating was kind of uncomfortable and it was very hot. But other than that it was a really really nice place to visit

All types of activities are possible. Layed back and chill. Hangout anyplace you would like. Unbelievable safe & smooth walking, riding, cycling, rollerblading, all wheels trails... Bi-level for all speeds & ages. Super awesome environment!!

It was difficult to figure out where the best walking paths were.

What a fantastic park! There is a 3.5 mile trail around the rowing center lake. The trail is good for walking, running or biking.

They did an incredible job designing this park. The sunsets here are idyllic.

I love walking here. I try to go often even if just for half an hour. I always take binoculars as there are so many birds to see. Beautiful wading birds and a great number of passerines. I've seen 3 or 4 kinds of woodpecker on one visit. It's peaceful and pretty and calm. There are public facilities, loos and fountains. Lots of places to stop and sit too. Plus at one end there's a mall! Happy days.
