Sitting in the middle of downtown Sarasota, this fenced off-leash park draws a regular crowd of neighborhood dogs and their owners. Large trees provide patches of shade, though some areas stay sunny, and the separate runs for small and large dogs help keep things orderly. Street parking is the only option and can be difficult to find, so arriving early on busy days is worth considering.
