Bird Key Park

If you wish to stay fit and trim, this is the place. Park has workong water fountains. It’s nice and clean! The kids playground are looks like it hasn’t been used. It’s also pedestrian friendly, even though there is a constant flow of traffic, it’s Safe! There are no restrooms that I saw and I wouldn’t recommend it if you are wishing to set foot on the beach. If you have a kayak or paddle board, it’s an ideal place to be… Also, Grandma’s Rock. I couldn’t keep up with them as they jogged up the bridge!
Overall it is a nice walking experience

Honestly, this is a pretty boring park. No sand. Just a strip of concrete and a nice view, but on the day I attended this park I witnessed an elderly man having an epileptic seizure, which I’m sure would be a shocking experience for just about anyone.
Luckily for «G» (not his actually name) I work in an industry that keeps me light on my feet and quick to react so it was certainly lucky for him that I was there to help.
There are a number of old wives tales (sorry but it’s true) regarding epilepsy but I knew enough not to put a wallet in his mouth, or hold onto his tongue or throw cold water on him. Its sad that these practices are still being used. I certainly did not use smelling salts on him. People need to understand that using smelling salts on an epileptic in full grand map seizure is like rubbing a strong magnet on a VHS tape. Bad idea. Instead I did exactly what anyone should do if they come across a seizure victim. First, call 911. Get the experts on the way. After that I held George’s hand and stroked his hair and knelt down very close to him and whispered words of encouragement. Even though an epileptic is trapped deep inside their own mind, they can still persevere the outside world and helpful words do get through and work.
The EMT’s couldn’t thank me enough when they arrived, which I really appreciated. It’s not everyday you truly get a chance to help someone.

just a quite strip of land. No bathrooms for the joggers.

Bird Key Park is a nice place to see views of the Causeway Bridge in Sarasota. Bird Key Park has picnic tables, benches, and many parking spots. A lot of people fish on both sides of the bridge. We like to park here and walk across the bridge and back for exercise.
Just a Note — Bird Key Park is located before St. Armands Circle on the right after you cross the bride coming from downtown. The correct address should be 101 Bird Key Drive.

This is a nice clean dog friendly beach. No sand though.
