The Bay Park Conservancy

The Bay Sarasota is a signature public waterfront park in Sarasota, Florida, created as “One Park for All. ” Open daily from 5 a. m.

to 11 p. m., it is free and accessible, welcoming residents and visitors to enjoy its setting along Sarasota Bay. The park offers a range of features and activities, supported by an event calendar, programs, activity guides, maps, live feeds, and information about ongoing development through its master plan and Phase 2 plans.

Visitors can find The Nest Café and its menu, attend community gatherings, and explore free events throughout the year. The Bay Park Conservancy supports the park’s development and community engagement through donations, volunteer opportunities, business partnerships, donor recognition, and public meetings. The organization also offers venue rentals and accepts inquiries from partner providers, food trucks, and those seeking photography or film permits.

Through newsletters, news stories, sustainability information, and progress updates, The Bay keeps the community informed as it continues transforming more of the waterfront into public park space
