Special Places for All 💙

There are many iconic places throughout the park that make The Bay special — including the larger-than-life Ibis Playground, the architecturally stunning arched Shade Structure, and a number of playful pieces — like artful swings and even drums.

Help continue to transform 53 acres of parking lot into a blue and green oasis that offers even more special places and spaces by becoming a Friend of The Bay today.

 

Give Now: Your Gift is Doubled!

Richard and Pamela Mones

A new match from Richard and Pamela Mones helps double your gift to the park from now until the end of the year!

Additional thanks to Mary Haber, The Patterson Foundation, Gulf Coast Community Foundation and an Anonymous Donor for their generous support to help increase the impact of every dollar donated to The Bay.
