Eloise Werlin Park is where sport meets peace. It features seven miles of walking trails and some of the city's best-shaded areas to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. Built for those who enjoy the outdoors, this park provides safe and enjoyable places for recreation while also taking care of nature lovers. The Eloise Werlin Park is adjacent to Hart's Landing and sits on the eastern base of the John Ringling Causeway Bridge. 

Phillippi Estate Park

Phillippi Estate Park is a natural treasure in the heart of Sarasota, with garden trails, sparkling creek-side fishing spots, and campsites that are the perfect place to relax.

In addition, the 39-acre park offers visitors a wide range of activities, including boating, fishing, and other water sports, picnicking, canoeing, kayaking, environmental education programs, riding trails for off-road vehicles, and snowmobiles.

It also includes Edson Keith Mansion, which is a registered historic site. Everyone is welcome to enjoy the beauty of this park and its facilities seven days a week.
