Gorilla Kleen is scheduled to come in and clean the Circus Playground at Payne Park ahead of the renovations. They will be working Monday, November 4, 2019, starting first thing in the morning. It should take most of the day, but the playground will reopen once they are complete. It’s important to do this kind of cleaning beforehand so we are not blasting dirt all around after the work is done.

Renovations are scheduled for November 12, 2019 (the day after Veterans Day) at the Circus Park Playground located inside of Payne Park. There are multiple upgrades and additions occurring during this time such as: resurfacing the entire grounds, repairs to the equipment and planting new trees. Renovations are scheduled to be finished mid-December.
During these upgrades, the City of Sarasota Parks and Recreation District encourages playtime at our other amazing parks!
