Bird Key Park reopening delayed

The target date for the reopening of western half of Bird Key Park has been pushed back by two weeks to Friday, Dec. 10, according to city of Sarasota project manager Neil Gaines.

The western portion of the park has been closed due to construction on the Bird Key phase of the West Bayfront Multi-Use Recreation Trail. Electrical issues caused the delay in re-opening the park, Gaines said.

The city of Sarasota will hold a grand opening in December.
