Sarasota, FL: The popular Allen Play area at Bayfront Park will be closing in mid-June for repairs. Due to wear and tear from high usage, as well as the harsh salty environment, contractors will be closing the playground to repair the play structure and completely replace the rubber mat underneath it.

Deputy Director of Public Works Todd Kucharski says the City anticipates the repair work can be completed by early July, barring any unforeseen problems or inclement weather.

Public Works crews will place temporary signs alerting park visitors to the upcoming closing.
