Spacious beautiful park with fenced areas for dogs (small under 20 lbs in one area, separate from dogs over 20 lbs). Beautiful walking trail, plenty of shade areas. Olympic size lap pool, tennis courts, all nicely maintained.

Love walking at Arlington Park. Has a nice walking path and love watching the ducks and turtles in the pond.

Something for everyone... YAY!

This is such a beautiful oasis and recreation facility not far from the hospital. A 1/2 mile trail winds thru wooded & grassy areas, around a lake, over a foot bridge, past a dog park and ends back at a parking lot for their recreation center and pool area. Beyond the pool is a picnic area, exercise equipment, and a childrens playground. Across the street are basketball & tennis courts.

Good shade and nice play area for

One of my favorite neighborhoods to walk and enjoy. Great park and amazing bungalow and cottage Florida homes. Really great lifestyle and vibe.

This is a neat little expanse of greenery tucked along Waldemere. There is a variety of exercise equipment for adults and an array of climbing, swinging, turning bars and contraptions to delight younger folk. There is also an Olympic sized pool. Every time Ive been there the sun has been shining and the stately, laurel oaks that abound on the property offer such refreshing shade.

This is a nice park nestled in the Sarasota Memorial area of Sarasota Florida. Once you’ve arrived at the park you will notice the nice public pool. However due to COVID-19 the pool is only open for lap swimming by reservations only. Masks must be worn Arrington and leaving the pool area.Each reservation spot lasts for forty five minutes.The pool is heated.There is a nice large dog park within the walking trail. The dog park has small cooling off pools for the dogs to play in. Water so that you can not only give your dog a fresh drink but also put fresh water in the little pools. There are plenty of picnic tables for sitting while watching the dogs inside the fenced in area. I also noticed that people leave their own chairs there for people to sit in a more comfortable chair.This park has a really nice walking trail filled with wildlife. There are many different species of birds. Several species of turtles. All of them act as though you are going to feed them. I’m guessing people must feed them. They are so used to the dogs coming and going that it really doesn’t seem to affect them.There is a compose area for the plant life in the park. There are many beautiful plants to enjoy while walking the trail.The game Pokémon go has several stops in the park.There are benches and picnic tables throughout the park for your enjoyment.

You can go to Arlington Park thats the same as the dog park they have swimming basketball lots of stuff there for you taken do you have to go there to take and see if the Fantastic stuff you can do during the summer dont sit home get out there but be safe wear your mask at all times unless you going swimming but you can still go out there and have some fun its not always staying home all the time but please be safe and careful.

Such a fantastic walking park!! Also has large and small fenced in dog parks and a beautiful water view to see ducks, turtles, etc.

An excellent pool to get some laps in! The facility seems a little dated, but is in pretty good shape all-around. Ill definitely be returning!

My wife and I had a lovely picnic and it was very beautiful. Great park!

Great place for a walk, run or biking.Lots of turtles and ducks on the lake.Nice sunsets

This quiet neighborhood park is a shady oasis from the hustle and bustle just moments away at Memorial Hospital. Slip under the tree canopy, listen to the birds... reconnect to the beautiful world we live in. You might catch a glimpse of some turtles hanging out around the pond. This is a perfect place for a picnic with someone special or a slow stroll to clear your head.

I swim laps three times a week at the pool. I also walk my dog in this beautiful park and she loves it. I am blessed at 65 years old to be less than a mile from Arlington Park. I would have driven twenty to thirty miles three times a week for this Park.

This is the best public sports pool in the Sarasota/ Manatee county area. They have a kid lane, shallow area and a very large lane, deeper pool. Also the shallow pool is handicap accesable. This park has alot of other amenities as well. A full basketball court, outdoor park with a trail and ponds.

Very nice place for a peaceful walk

A lot of wildlife (photos taken from afar as to not disturb), a short paved walking trail for daily exercise, plenty of benches to rest on along the way, picnic tables, and a dog play area.

Great little park to go for walks with the dogs! The loop is half a mile so nothing too intense.

Extremely relaxing place, great for the whole family!!!

Very nice park. Lots of things to do for kids and adults. 2 playgrounds, 1 for younger and 1 older kids. Impressive workout area for adults. Tennis courts, swimming pool and a walking trail.

Amazing place to swim, have a great time and outstanding service.

Jaime was amazing. Thank you for making my man look like himself again.

Real friendly people walking their dogs

No restrooms other than the main building. So if the main building is closed your out of luck. I dont understand that. Too many people with dogs when they have their own area for dogs. Other than that its pretty nice with a fountain, bridge, the paved trail has nice curves and slopes to it.

Love going there to feed the 🦆 & 🐢 with my kids

Gorgeous park area. Great neighborhood.

Beautiful, quiet, shaded playground (thanks to majestic live oaks).

We love the playground and that it has a workout area where my children can play and i can work out while still watch them at the same time.

Beautiful hidden gem! Its in the middle of the city yet so peaceful!. Nice walking trails too!

We really enjoyed the walking trail. It curves and is unexpectedly large for the middle of the city. It’s quiet and beautiful green space with a large pond in one section. The walking path is paved and well maintained, like really well. It was a great walk and there are some nice trees for some shady sections too. There is also a dog area fenced off in one section too.

Its nice... It has a full outside gym, so u can get a workout session in while your kid/kids play on the playground... It also has picnic tables and grills for cookouts and and gatherings... And lastly it has a book kiosk where ppl bring their old books for others to read.

The new outdoor gym is amazing

When Im down in Sarasota to visit my Aunt. I go down there to the calisthenics park to get my workout in. Great array of bars to put to good use. Always a good time.

I use the exercise area near the pool with my daughter. What a great place to workout outside where your only limitation is your imagination.

Great place to learn scuba.

Google says the pool is open. I called to make sure - We called this place a few times . The voice-mail says the pool is open. Its not; Its open if you reserve a pool lane to swim laps. But I dont even know how anyone could do that because the phone goes to voice-mail everytime . I understand covid may have changed the pool hours but someone should have been able to update the information on Google or on the voice-mail within the past year.

Beautiful winding paths with a nearby dog park and pool facilities.

Love this park! This is one of the best in Sarasota. It is large with open fields, paved trails, a pond with fountain, plenty of benches to rest to watch the wildlife, and is dog friendly! There is a separate fenced dog park within the park as well. They also have a pool, playground, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Great community park.

Nice sized playground for the little ones.

Nice walk but if you leave the side walk you have to dodge the piles of ant mounds. This was problematic while playing catch with my puppies. No exaggeration way too many ant colonies there.

We come here for a picnic every now and then. Its a nice park with lots of trees. It has several picnic tables under the trees, and charcoal grills. Theres a large play area with slides and other fun things. The park is located in a marginal area, and one time a bunch of teenagers were actually sitting on the picnic tables. One couldnt stop coughing. We left.

Very nice visit for my roommate and her granddaughter

Great half mile trail

Income here often. Decent outdoor gym, play area for keeping us and a nice trail to walk.

Beautiful little park near our bnb!

For make Sport and walk the dog is the best

I am lucky to live here. Our park is a treasure and the dog park and outdoor fitness area are awesome.

Nice place for any age. I take my one year old here everyday. Lots of nature.

The pool is gorgeous and the lifeguards are top notch. Shower and locker room, last I visited, subpar. The open hours accommodate only those who do not rise in the morning With 10am start and none who work with a closing at 4pm. It is usually empty ☹️.

Quiet and relaxing atmosphere....can go for a walk, ride your bike, or sit and watch the wildlife whichever you choose to do its a gpod stress reliever

Cute dog park

Coach Sam of the masters swimming group is fantastic!

Terrible hole in the parking, dog park.Meteoric stones fall here???😞🙈

We love walking the park and nature trails, there is a great playground and crossfit style work out stations right next to the playground . The pool hours vary but with the tennis courts, basketball courts and everything else to do you are sure to find something

Nice park

Its a lot safer than when I was a kid. A lot of community stuff goes on certain times of the year, and a lot of people jog, walk their dogs, have picnics. They just built a neat outdoor workout area per request of the community right by the pool and playground, and its great. You can see ducks and turtles, and they really go all out for Halloween with decorations. The porch music festivals are fun, too.

Nice park with a long paved trail with trees for shade, playground, bathroom, pool, fenced dog area, picnic tables, and ducks.

Beautiful and clean

Best turtles in town

Quit, Clean, Birds, Dog Park & Beautiful trails for walking or biking!

Nice park and has a nice adult workout area.

For the last 30 years, Ive loved this park!! I hope it never changes.

Nice outside gym

Excelente location, great customer service

We walked our dogs around this great park!

Been visiting family in Sarasota for over 30 years and did not know of its existence until now. Was looking for an off leash dog park and there it was. Well maintained sweet, right sized park with ponds and birds and turtles. Both shady and sunny areas on the half mile walking trail. So happy we discovered it. A gem in the city.

Had an incredible workout

Good neighborhood park with ducks, pond, jogging/walking path and tons of trees. It also has a small dog park with a kiddie pool.

It is so crazy. the have complete aquatic center that is closed on Sunday? kids could be learning to swim. the local water polo club could hold meets. seniors could be enjoy a non impact work out. and when its closed the rest room are closed off as well. so you have huge park on Sunday with no rest rooms. what are supposed to do with kids on the play ground. in the meantime you have people letting dogs run free where it is a designated toddler area. something is wrong here?

Great family place and seeing all the ducks and turtles and feeding them was so beautiful !

A bit pricey for a 45 min time slot

Nice park !

Dog park is large but not well maintained in the eve.

Best dog park in town

Amazing place for swimmers. 22 swimming lanes in great surroundings and staff.

If you want enter here you need to call before for a reservation and stay for 45 minutes only, it was sad because we were for vacation to Florida and we cant enjoy this pool.

Always nice people and dogs......very friendly. Plenty of squirrels to entertain the dogs. A large and small dog park.

Beautiful park in a lovely neighborhood. Its on The Great Florida Birding trail so there are opportunities for birders. I added a Black and white Warbler to my list.

This park has been my go to for a few years now. My mother and I will get the dogs after work and take them to the fenced in area. The environment is welcoming and the park is pristine. The lake is very scenic and the little turtles and ducks floating around are always a joy. Sometimes there are ducklings that just melt my heart. Parking does get cramped on certain days when the swim teams meet but regardless, every trip to the park is wonderful.

Great park for toddlers!

The pool at Arlington is great! MONOFIN FRIENDLY!! Lifeguards are helpful and nice. Be careful for swim teams tho they can kick people out of their lane. Management was super helpful

Awesome place to take your kids to play.

I really love this place! Always take my dog to walk and to play with other dogs. Lovely place and lovely people! Very relaxing atmosphere!

Lots of wildlife and shade! We saw about 20 turtles.

The Tsunami swim club practice here, and they are open to out of town swimmers to practice with them.

I love this place and love to see it is still around and of interest by the next generation. My brother and I would come here during the summer either through a Boys Club field trip or straight here. My mom would give me $0.35, which is what it cost to enter the gym and pool and a few dollars to grab some flavored ice from the Snack Van that would be in the parking lot. It was such a fun time and was so tired afterwards. But I can remember the feeling vividly when we would pull into the parking lot and see the Flavored Ice Van and the sound of kids having summer fun in the Olympic size pools. I dont know if there are still things like this for the kids during summer or if Arlington Park still offers what it did for me and my youth years, but in any case it made for great memories and will always smile at the mention of Arlington Park.

When theyre actually open..a great place for a dip in the pool...great walking paths here..nice open spaces for the kids to play in, and very dog friendly here...also nice shaded picnic area near parking lot

Ok dog park, but watch where you step

Wonderful Arlington Park!We are visitors and look forward to coming here.Beautiful convenient walking trails. (Safe) Enjoy seeing dogs @ Dog Park and my husband loves the clean affordable lap pool.Excellent facility and grounds!

Great park with a nice, short walking path. Atmosphere is pleasant and welcoming. Features a large and small dog park, separate from one another, and plenty of fixtures with which to get your pup some water!

Great for small kids and old people. They have a nice kiddie pool and the big pool is set up to do laps.I wish they gave a discount if you buy multiple visits.

My grandson loved it! Perfect size to be able to keep your eye on your children, but large enough for the kids to have a great time

I really appreciated and enjoyed visiting this park in the past couple of years, from the playground to the park and/or the pool for the day/evening. Until about a month or two ago, when they decided to start charging for use of their showers (which are almost always soaked and muddy all the way through, it feels like Im dirtier after I shower up at this place...)Anyways, the parks still a nice place to spend the day now and then, and the fees are at least, relatively inexpensive in general, pools not bad price for the money, unless it is a swim practice night and all of the lanes are blocked off for them...

Beautiful park! I love to walk here. They have a nice heated pool, a playground, a dog park, indoor basketball court, and a picturesque walking trail with lots of shade. There are also picnic tables and restrooms (which are only open when the building is open). They offer a lot of different classes.

Just a nice park

Park is a lovely with .5 mile trail ideal for strolls and walking the dog. It has a community pool and community center. It is a wonderful addition to this neighborhood.

I really enjoy the pathway you can walk around the park and around the beautiful pound with the new bridge that put in, love how the park is dog friendly! And activities for the whole family to enjoy doing together or even separate. Beautiful park

This pool complex is lovely: no music blaring, set in a lovely wooded park, plenty of parking, friendly people. The pool and the locker room are clean. And the admission price is low.When I was in Sarasota, I enjoyed going to the Arlington Park pool three times a week to do my work out in the teaching pool.The warm water felt good on my arthritic knee, and I think having my joints warm really helped with the range of motion exercises.There’s a separate pool for lap swimmers, but people also swim and take lessons in the shallow water pool.If there’s no lifeguard at the teaching pool, you can ask the lifeguard on duty if there’s a lifeguard available, and then you can use it.While I did my workout, I enjoyed talking with lifeguards Sharon, Connor and Spiro. The receptionists are also very welcoming.

It is so clean and peaceful. The swimming pool and diving boards are allot of fun. The indoor basketball court kept the kids occupied. And the park has a excercise park as well. Highly recommended
