Biehl Park is Venice's newest gathering spot for community activities and a gateway to historic downtown Venice.

The park include's landscaping with native vegetation, a water fountain and a mural by local artist BJ Carson. The centerpiece of the park is a granite etching of John Nolen's original plan for the city.
