The Other Side of Arlington

in #travel7 years ago

Arlington Park in Sarasota, Florida has more to it than the nature trail. Come to the other side of Arlington where you can play sports, enjoy a nice dip in the pool, plan a party, or let the kids run wild at the playground! If you have been following me on Steemit. Ive been posting about the nature trail.

Plenty of space to put your stuff in the locker room and showers to use.

Sorry if the pictures are a bit dark. It was very cloudy outside. It's been raining for three days straight now. Which we need!

With this big open area next to the playground, there is plenty of space for your dog to run around. Feel like having a party? There are a lot of people that have birthday parties here too!!

The whole playground area is fenced off. Don't have to worry about the little ones running off.

Area for ages 2-5
