Absolutely wonderful. We are so lucky to live in a city that offers many wonderful outdoor spaces! Bird key park is no exception.
The views are incredible! Even from your parked car overlooking the water, you can enjoy a beautiful scene. Walk on the paved sidewalk under the bridge and you’ll find people fishing and relaxing. There are many benches and places to sit and a few picnic tables if you want to have a bite to eat by the water. Walk a bit more (under and around the bridge) and you’ll be at a little beach with seating. Our pup LOVES to play fetch there. Every dog he’s encountered has been friendly and playful. We’ve only had friendly and kind people sharing the space there as well. There are pet waste bags too, in case you forget, and usually a few tennis balls to throw for the pups!
Note: parking during busy season and on weekends (except summer) can be a challenge. We sometimes have to wait 5-20 min for someone to leave so we can get a spot. It’s typically closer to 5 min but can be disappointing when we can’t find a place to park. Popular time is sunset for sure, so if you want to guarantee a spot, give yourself extra time in case it’s crowded.

This park is very unique. The surrounding beauty is truly incredible. This is especially true at certain times of the day/night, and combined with ideal weather conditions. But its uniqueness shines in the vibe it gives off, which is always different and tends to emulate what is going on in Sarasota in general… You just have to go to see what I’m talking about.
Bird Key Park is a great place to launch kayaks. They have a kayak launch, but honestly it's just as easy to launch several other places. Water is shallow and calm.
Love this park . Nice views. Great place for dogs
This place offers excellent wade fishing, kayak, and canoe launches. We actually love walking our Frenchies there. As well, may I suggest seeking snorkeling reef maps.
What a beautiful park to take a stroll in especially when the weather is just right. It was 75 degrees this morning and it felt awesome! I love the views of the water and the sound of the waves. Beautiful scenery. There are dog stations, even water fountains for your dog, and benches to sit on.
