Sarasota is quite the place—from the spectacular sunsets along the Gulf to the delicious Amish restaurants peppering the city. But what’s even cooler about this special city is that there are seemingly endless things to do with the entire family. This wonderfully inventive park that has a fun, exciting theme, is no exception.
Tucked away inside the city of Sarasota is a one-of-a-kind park that will make every kid’s wildest dreams come true.

Sarasota is known for its ties to the circus, including the Ringling Museum and The Circus Arts Conservatory, but this unique park is a hidden gem paying homage in its own way.

Located on a former baseball field, today Payne Park hosts a multitude of events but also is the perfect place for the family to gather together and enjoy a bit of the fresh air and fun.

The circus-themed park is perfect for a warm summer afternoon, especially when they turn the fountains on for some reprieve from the heat.
