This is one of my local favorites. You have access to parking for all the local stores and restaurants. I also use it as walking for exercise. For me and those of you who may play pokemon go there are many poke stops and gym all within a block or little more of the park. And during those hot Florida days there is a place for the kids to cool down a small fountain to play in.

This is a lovely park. It has a water fountain area for kids to play in. Its perfect during the hot Florida weather. The water shoots up from the ground and sometimes to colored lights. Kids enjoy it a lot. There is also a gazebo. Sometimes people play music or perform there, other times you can see people relaxing. The park is located right along Venice Ave on the Venice island. There is a large free parking lot. Many shops and resturants line Venice Ave, as well as jewelry stores, Ive cream places, souvenir shops, etc. Unfortunately many of the shops close early; around 4 or 5pm. The restaurants and ice creams stores do tend to stay open later though. In 2018- 2019 there was improvements done along Venice Ave. My pictures reflect what it currently looks like.

Lovely ambiance to walk about. Beautiful unique shops and restaurants. Great for couples, families and friends who want to get away from the city’s hustle and bustle and enjoy each other’s company in a very tranquil setting. I recommend!

Simple, outdoor fun on hot and sunny days.Theres not much here; Just a fountain-style splash pad and a gazebo. The draw is that this little park is right in the heart of Venice Island. Theres a Daiquiri Deck across the street and ice cream parlors just a short walk away.Venice Beach is only a short drive.

Review №24

I visited the park to attend the Venice Seafood & Music Festival.....this will be the last time I attend. Very disappointed in this festival. Ive attended several phenomenal festivals in downtown Venice so maybe my expectations were too high for this one. But trust me, you arent missing anything if you skip this event. A few good vendors with nice arts/crafts for sell but the seafood selection was extremely limited and quite pricey. I would rather dine at the local restaurants than at these pop-up food stands. The highlight of the evening was the Pineapple Express drink stand....they made the with several frozen mixed drink options offered in a pineapple. YUM! Thank you PINEAPPLE EXPRESS!! Also, it was advertised that the local Humane Society would there with dogs that need homes, so I talked my mother into going by suggesting we look for dog to adopt. However, we arrived at festival and there were no dogs....no Humane Society (which the festival was supposedly raising money for the organization?!?) yet nobody had any idea about dogs when we asked festival workers. Finally we found a woman who believed the Humane Society would be at festival on Saturday. Anyways, skip this festival.

Our granddaughter loved playing in the water park. She probably spent a good forty five minutes. She played in it a second time the next day. The only thing was there were yellow stains on the stone benches. I was sure what they were but it wasnt comfortable sitting there.
