The park site is located in Venice, (at the intersection of
Taylor Ranch Trail and Tamiami Trail) and is adjacent to Taylor
Ranch Elementary School. The site is approximately 11.6 acres
and is surrounded by several large church properties to the
west, south and south. The residential community of Plantation
is located to the north across Tamiami Trail.
The property was dedicated to
Sarasota County in 2007 under the condition the land would be
developed as a public park. Several public meetings were held in
2008 to seek input regarding the possibility of developing a
future “mega playground.” Due to insufficient funds, the
original plan of a mega playground has been delayed. However,
the county would like to provide public access and park
amenities to the site.
Amenities
- playground equipment
- picnic areas
- nature trail
- parking area
(four to five cars)
A public
meeting was held on Aug. 9, 2011 at Woodmere Park to share these
proposed short term improvements. The ideas were supported and
additional suggestions were made for future long term
improvements to the site.
