Hurrah! Work is progressing at Bird Key Park off Ringling Bridge in Sarasota. The west end was completed earlier this summer with walks, trees, kayak launch, and swinging seat under a blue canopy. We can't wait to see what this east end will look like.It is still difficult to approach the beach for wading. The bricks with holes make walking hazardous and there are only a couple of spots to walk down to the water easily.
