Patriots Park

HONORING OUR HEROES

Freedom Walk was originally created by the 2002 Class of Leadership Sarasota County. The memorial, with stations, pillars and brick pavers, was inspired by the events of the September 11, 2001 tragedy.

Freedom Walk is now a part of the Venice Area Beautification, Inc. organization which maintains the facility and assists in other community projects.

"You cannot stand at this site without being completely enthralled with what has been created.  The overall impact is truly moving."
City of Venice Mayor Dean Calamaras

Freedom Walk at Patriots Park is located in Venice on the Northeast corner where Business 41 and Bypass 41 come together. Patriots Park is part of the Sarasota County Parks system.
