Gillespie Park – So much more to Explore than Just the Park

With its ideal location adjacent to downtown Sarasota and the bourgeoning Rosemary District, Gillespie Park is in the center of all Sarasota has to offer. With its fusion of craftsman bungalows, mediterranean revival, and modern architectural styles continuing the great tradition of the Sarasota School of Architecture, Gillespie Park is a living expression of the City’s design progression. Our ten-acre park filled with grand oaks, resident aquatic birds, sports courts, walking trails, and a dedicated dog park provides residents and visitors a natural oasis to enjoy when not taking advantage of all the surrounding cultural and culinary options Gillespie Park and downtown Sarasota have to offer. Whether you are a long time Sarasota resident or a visitor planning your first trip to the Suncoast, the residents and business owners in Gillespie Park welcome you to our vibrant and ever evolving downtown neighborhood.
