In October 2024, Overtown Square, located in the heart of the Rosemary District on Central Avenue, between 5th Way and Boulevard of the Arts, opened to the public.  This park was named in honor of Sarasota's first Black neighborhood, Overtown.  The stunning new park is a tribute to the community's rich history and spirit. Overtown Square table and umbrella with ADA Seating
