Payne Park is a much needed green space in downtown Sarasota. As stated in the Deed Restrictions, the intent of the donor was for this purpose only. Please respect the wishes of the donors. It's the right thing to do morally.

I live near Payne Park and visit frequently, it is one of the rare places in Sarasota where you can still go to get away from the city. On several occasions I've seen bald eagles, golden eagles, osprey, and red tail hawks. I know much of the space will be preserved but let's not fool ourselves, any construction will be a harm to wildlife and the citizens of Sarasota.

Our green spaces are important closing downtown in with yet another large building will only decrease its desirability

I love the orchestra and often attend. I also love nature and Payne Park as well. I do want the orchestra to stay within downtown as the ability to walk to cafes and restaurants prior to a performance is critical for the Arts. Maybe the Ringling post office site is an option since this is prime empty land in the center of the city?

It's the green and natural habitat areas that make Sarasota the special place where so many want to live.

We need more public tennis facilities, not less and less building, not more. Use empty land space instead of destroying a park

...Sarasota, seriously. One of the few places I actually like in this town.
Leave something for those of us that aren't rich.
“Parks and playgrounds are the soul of a city...”
We need more parks not less!
