CITY DEDICATES
WATERFRONT PARKS
Sarasota, FL – The City of Sarasota
will dedicate the Ringling Causeway Bridge Parks Mon.,
September 25, 2006 at 4pm. The dedication will take place
on the east side of the bridge next to Hart’s Landing.
|
The east and the west parks were constructed during and
after the construction of the Ringling Bridge. Funding
for the estimated $1 million project came from the City
of Sarasota, the Florida Department of Transportation and
private donations, including one donation of $200,000.
The Ringling Causeway Bridge Parks were designed to create
access to beautiful Sarasota Bay. The parks provide an
additional three acres of waterfront park space within
the City of Sarasota. Already, they are popular places
to jog, picnic, and fish.

With the addition of the Ringling Causeway Bridge Parks,
the City of Sarasota continues to showcase its dedication
to providing public parks for all to enjoy. Fredd “Glossie” Atkins
Park opened last June in north Sarasota, and a groundbreaking
ceremony was held earlier this month for Payne Park in
downtown.
