About The Bay

The Bay is a signature, public park along Sarasota Bay. Designed to be “One Park for All,” The Bay is open and accessible, free and welcoming to the full and rich diversity of the community, now and for generations to come.

The Bay conserves, preserves, restores and transforms 53 acres of precious city-owned land along Sarasota Bay into a blue and green oasis – providing a sustainable bayfront gathering place for the community to experience and enjoy a wide range of park uses, free programs and events.

There’s so much to enjoy at The Bay every day!

Take a walk to be with nature or watch a movie under the stars. Enjoy a free concert in the park or explore Sarasota Bay in a kayak. Get your heart pumping at a fitness class or get your feet moving at a dance party.

Regardless of what interests you… every program, event and activity at The Bay is open and accessible, free and welcoming to all.
