Joan M. Durante Community Park

Joan M. Durante Community Park

?   Joan M. Durante Park, is a 32 acre site on Sarasota Bay two miles from the north end of Longboat Key.    “The park is the result of a private/public partnership to enhance and restore one of the few remaining vacant island properties on Longboat Key to a viable wetland and coastal hammock forest.”  Thank you to Diane McConnell who wrote that the park is a “lovely walk through mangroves and along Sarasota Bay with lookouts and lots of benches.  Paths are crushed hard shell or wood.  No stairs….”   Phone 941-316-1988 or call Longboat Key at 941-316-1999
