About Park Trace

Park Trace is in Osprey (Pop. 6,100), along Florida’s majestic southwest gulf coast. It is about 10 miles south of downtown Sarasota (Pop. 53,000) and 6 miles north of Venice, in what is referred to as “unincorporated” South Sarasota County. We are only minutes away from award-winning beaches and less than 18 miles from the spectacular Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, the newly expanded Ringling Museum of Art and the unique district of downtown Sarasota.

Osprey was settled in 1867 as a small fishing village and is also home to Oscar Scherer State Park Historic Spanish Point, one of Florida’s earliest settlements where the Calusa Indians left evidence of their existence 4000+ years ago. Oscar Scherer is bordering our community and Park Trace is surrounded by excellent schools and in very close proximity to the renown Pine View School.

Park Trace is an intergenerational community where retirees, families with children and single adults have chosen to live.

Park Trace is a Deed Restricted community. When we decided to make Park Trace home we automatically assumed a responsibility to embrace the standards that were established with the intention of promoting conformity and harmony in our community. There is a direct connection between upholding standards and maintaining and enhancing our property values. The extent to which our Covenants, Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and the Board’s Rules and Regulations may limit us is outweighed by the many advantages we gain from cooperation in an association of homeowners. Association membership means cultivating mutually respectful relationships with our neighbors day-by-day and sharing as friends, neighbors and volunteers in our Community governance and group activities
