After 21years there isn't much of a view of Sarasota Bay. The 32-acre site is located on Sarasota Bay two miles from the north end of Longboat Key. The site had previously been developed with cabins, these had been demolished and invasive exotic vegetation had taken over the site by the time the Town acquired it in the late eighties. The Joan M. Durante 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. There is a picnic table for you to use if you like. Nice view of Sarasota Bay. Plenty of birds and flowers.
