Gillespie Park is a historic neighborhood located in Downtown Sarasota, Florida. Gillespie Park was named after Sarasota’s first mayor, John Hamilton Gillespie, a Scottish born aristocrat who helped put Sarasota on the map by plating the first golf course in 1886. The neighborhood offers buyers an eclectic mix of single-family homes, townhomes, bungalows, cottages, Spanish, Mediterranean, and Modern inspired homes dating from the 20s, 30s, 40’s, and today. A beautiful 10-acre park is the crowning jewel of this neighborhood which features a police substation, a children’s playground, tennis courts, picnic pavilion with grills, Brumby Lake, a lakeside walkway and footbridge, and the Gallery of Patriots – series of busts of North and South American leaders which include Lincoln, Jose Marti, and Simón Bolivar. Another positive factor to Gillespie Park is that the homes located between Fruitville Road and 4th Street are zoned for business development allowing for boutiques, galleries, and restaurants to take root in this boho-chic downtown neighborhood. If you are wanting to put down roots but still crave the action that the city has to offer then consider Gillespie Park for an investment, vacation, or primary residence.
