Bayfront Park Playground and Splash Pad

Bayfront Park offers one of Sarasota's most popular free family destinations, with a renovated waterfront playground and a child-controlled splash pad at the edge of Sarasota Bay. The splash pad lets children direct the water flow rather than using a continuous spray, allowing for interactive play. Large shade sails and ample seating serve parents and caregivers. The park also connects to the Sarasota bayfront esplanade and marina, putting the playground steps from the water and from downtown Sarasota's dining and cultural venues.
