The reimagining of 17th Street Regional Park in Sarasota will soon become a reality.
The new 17th Street Regional Park in Sarasota is on track to be a must-book destination for regional and national tournaments, offering fields for youth and adult sports that athletes and coaches can play on year-round thanks to the area’s warm, sunny weather.
The complex, set to open in 2026, features:
- 8 collegiate softball fields, including a championship field complete with a press box and berm seating
- 4 synthetic turf multipurpose fields
- 8 covered batting cage tunnels
- Bullpens at each team’s dugout
Amenities include shade for spectators, more than 600 parking spaces, a ticket window, umpire/staff changing and rest rooms, and meeting rooms.
Plans for the park include a food truck staging area with hookups, a destination playground and connecting it to the Legacy Trail through the adjacent Bobby Jones Golf Course.
