17th Street Paw Park

This park is named after Sarasota's first mayor, John Hamilton Gillespie. Two basketball courts, an off-leash dog park, picnic tables, a playground, a Police sub-station, a fitness trail, three tennis courts, outside fitness spaces, and a pond are among the amenities. Outside of the dog park, leashed pets are permitted.

Everything we could have wished for to keep our dog, and thus us, happy when traveling and unsure of where to let her run free.

Off-leash park that is fenced in and has separate spaces for little and large dogs, as well as a bathing facility and a picnic area.

A dog run, picnic areas, sports fields, a hockey rink, and a skate park are all available in this beautifully landscaped park.
