Celery Fields

Park in Sarasota – Great place to walk around and enjoy nature.

The location of the site, the large number of diverse bird species, and its public ownership by Sarasota County make the Celery Fields an ideal location for wildlife watching and passive recreational use. The 400+ acre site is also the County’s primary storm water collection zone, allowing it to serve a dual purpose of public safety and recreation.

Wetlands restoration of 100 acres in the southern cell was completed in May 2011. More than 200,000 aquatic plants and trees were planted, and two boardwalks installed, one off Palmer Blvd and the other off Raymond Road. The Celery Fields provide for numerous low-impact activities: walking, biking, fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. Sarasota Audubon’s Nature Center at the intersection of Center Road and Raymond Road is a starting point for all activities.
