Bird Key Park is a tiny park at the base of the island side of the Sarasota bridge. It was constructed when the new bridge was build. It has beautiful views of Sarasota Bay and a waterfront, plus two picnic tables. The problem is that theres not enough parking, and youre very lucky if it isnt full, which is just about all the time. The picnic tables, all 2 of them, are rarely available, sometimes full of kids just sitting on top of them doing nothing, which is aggravating

Marine beautiful view. Park is big and well maintained having several benches around shores.. Safe for children and pets. There is a small beach and a wonderful bridge where you can walk and run and also below this bridge. Parking lots are not so many but you can easy find a spot. Amazing place to stay and relax.

Nice park with a kayak launch and racks to rinse your boat/boards. Dog friendly. Nice hammock trees. Good little walking path. Parking can get a bit challenging during season, but worth visiting when you can find a spot.

Review №36

Nice place to walk around and it has plenty of places to sit. It also had places to wash off if you went in the water. Now the not so good. No bathroom facilities as far as I could see and depending on which direction you came from it was a bit difficult to get in because of the flow of traffic. There really should be a left turn signal.

A nice place to sit and watch the water if youre okay with some road noise. Good place to launch a windsurfer or kayak or stand up paddle board. Also great place to park and start walking around, under, and over the bridge. Or you can park here and walk to St. Armands circle.

A great morning park by the water!!!

Review №42

Great view of the bay. Nice area to walk from to go over the Ringling bridge or under it in the evening with the multi color lights under it. Easy to launch a paddle board, kayak or canoe from but watch your step as there is not really a beach area with sand but at the waters edge is wave erosion control pavers that are hard on your feet.

What a lovely place to see the sunset. We pulled in from traffic over the bridge. The sun setting over the barrier islands wad too breathtaking not to stop. Folks doing the same thing as we were. The small parking lot pretty much cleared out once the sun had set.

Much bigger than it looks at first -- plenty of space to walk and benches to sit on. Theres a fair amount of road noise since the park is wrapped around a road, but its generally easy to tune out. Great view of the bay both to the north and the south.

Great place to take a friendly pup for a refreshing dip. There is a spigot for washing your furry friend afterwards but the water is not always turned on which can be inconvenient.
