The park, located in the Venezia Park Historic District, was part of the original John Nolen design for the City of Venice in the 1920s. The intent is to place the improvements around the existing trees, and minimize any disturbance to the trees. Improvements under consideration are passive in nature, and no additional parking is planned at this time. Some potential improvements include ADA accommodations, picnic tables, park benches, a walking trail and landscaping. A preliminary concept plan is also attached.

The Venezia Park Improvement project will be funded with park impact fees. For additional information, please contact Jennifer Dorning, Project Public Information Officer, at [email protected] or 239-338-7723.
