New Playground Will Make A Splash
at Bayfront Park
| |
|
Exciting news for the waterfront: the City of Sarasota is replacing the Allen Playground and Steigerwalt-Jockey Children’s Fountain at Bayfront Park with new structures, including a new playground and fountain to provide even more fun and entertainment for families and children.
The playground will feature a splash pad with buttons children can press to turn on the water, a pirate shipwreck theme with a Kraken (a legendary sea monster), climbing features, lighting, and shade structures.
| |
|
Some favorite structures from the old park will be refurbished and installed in the new play area. The splash pad, playground, and parent/guardian seating will be on the same level. The combined space will be ADA-compatible, and the area will be enclosed with a fence.
The $3 million project is expected to be completed in October.

Andrea Bozzolo's (Amazing)
New Restaurant Opens on Siesta Drive
| |
Indulge in a gastronomic adventure at Malmosto, the newest eatery that doubles as a wine shop. The brainchild of renowned Chef Andrea Bozzolo (of Andrea's next door) and Restauranteur Rossella Savinelli, Malmosto offers an unparalleled culinary experience that tantalizes your taste buds with delicious small plates and pizzas, perfectly complemented by a wide selection of curated wines from Italy, France, the USA, and other renowned regions. | |
|
The ambiance is cozy, and the staff is helpful with wine pairing suggestions, especially with its great selection of artisanal cheeses, prosciutto, and salamis.
The menu perfectly complements wine selections. The hot food is made using a traditional wood-fired oven, with mouth-watering dishes that range from paella to porchetta. Pizza and wine are among my favorite things to pair. Who knew that a Calabria pizza with Pomodoro, mozzarella, and spicy Soppressata, pairs well with a Nebbiolo or Seafood paella with an unoaked chardonnay?
With only 20 spots available, I recommend making a reservation to get your spot.
Buy a mix-and-match case of wine and enjoy a pizza on the house!
Malmosto is the perfect place to unwind and savor great wines and food —you won't regret it!
