Ringling Park places you close to the urban energy of Sarasota while feeling decidedly residential. Tree-lined blocks of mid-century homes and fresh infill builds set a relaxed tone, and the neighborhood’s everyday anchor is the lively expanse of Payne Park—home to a playground, walking loop, cafe, and tennis—making it an easy choice for morning jogs or after-school play. Explore it all at the City’s official page for Payne Park.
Active days extend onto the countywide bike and walking corridor via the Legacy Trail, which now reaches downtown. When culture calls, world-class institutions are minutes away, from the art and architecture of The Ringling to the lush waterfront campuses of Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. Dining and coffee spots in nearby Laurel Park and the downtown core add easy options for a spontaneous night out or weekend brunch.
Families value the neighborhood’s school access within Sarasota County Schools: neighborhood favorite Alta Vista Elementary School, well-regarded Brookside Middle School, and historic, centrally located Sarasota High School serve the area. Parks, libraries, and services from Sarasota County round out a lifestyle that blends convenience with genuine community feel.
