A stroll through downtown’s Bayfront Park is popular with locals, visitors—and their dogs. The Dolphin Fountain at the park’s point has become something of a symbol of Sarasota’s bayfront lifestyle. Designed by Delta Fountains, the water sculpture shows dolphins frolicking; the fountain’s spray, which shoots up 40 feet, makes kids squeal with delight.
