NATHAN BENDERSON PARK

Nathan Benderson Park is the crown jewel of Sarasota’s rowing community. The world-class 2000-meter course attracts international water sport events for paddle board, kayaking, dragon boating, and rowing. For the first time in over 25 years, the World Rowing Championships returned to the United States, hosted right here in 2017. Since then it's hosted many other prestigious rowing events: Olympic trials, camps, U23 World Championships, et al. Plus the venue hosts local events, from the nationally recognized Sarasota Invitational Regatta, to 5k runs, triathlons, and intramural races.
