Bayview Park is at the intersection of Truman and Jose Martii Drive. It is where I went to paint some typical Key West houses. It has a gazebo/bandstand and picnic tables. It is free. If you just want to let the kids run around on the grass under the trees, this is the place to do it.
This is what the City of Key West website has to say:
"Softball field, Playground equipment
"restroom facilities, 6 public tennis courts and
"2 pavilions and open space
"Bayview park is a newly renovated park that houses a softball field, basketball courts, playground area, tennis courts, two pavilions and an open area for picnics and family gatherings. Also housed at Bayview park is the newly opened Boy's and Girl's Youth Club where kids can go when school lets out for activities while their parents are at work. The Softball league has two leagues, one which is for women and the other which is Co-ed. These league play Monday through Thursday. The Women's league has approximately 60 players and the Co-Ed league has approximately 285 players."
The URL below has an ariel view of the park.

Key West is renowned for its sunset celebrations. Mallory Square is the place to be before and during the sunset, but let’s not forget other nice places to view the sunset, like Sunset Pier at the Ocean Key Resort on Zero Duval Street. Sunset Pier is giving you front row seats overlooking the ocean. It's a perfect place to enjoy exotic drinks, tasty food while watching the spectacular sunset. Sunset Pier also offers nightly music and dancing, with entertainers from the islands and beyond.

This is a must for VT junkies. If you just can't get away from your VT pages and comments, and can't wait to see if you received email from me... check into the I-Cafe on Duval street. You can get a beer next door at the "World's Smallest Bar" a self proclaimed title of this little bar under a stair case. The thing I like about this place is that the puters are out in the open. You are not couped up in a dimly lit room with other geeks. Here you can watch the world, and the Harleys go by as you write me. Noticed how all my tips on Key West are somehow related to a bar and beer? Read between the lines Joe.

Over 660,000 cruise ship passengers visit Key West every year to experience the beauty and atmosphere of Key West. The ships that dock at Mallory Square are enormous. Just sit and watch to see a ship come and go. The one on the picture is the Disney Cruise Ship. Mostly they will be gone in the afternoon.

It's great to see the fisherman return from there fishing trip. When they are at shore, they immediately begin to clean the fish, so they can sell the fish to the restaurant owners. On the picture you see the "catch of the day"; Mahi Mahi.

Bahama Village is a unique four by four block area of western Key West bordered by Whitehead, Southard, Fort and Louisa Streets. This area is known as a somewhat dangerous, 50 percent black neighborhood, but we spent a little bit of time here during our visit and always felt safe. This area boasts a unique open air flea market at Petronia Street.
While the neighborhood has a dangerous past, today the area is becoming a bit touristy with a good selection of restaurants, shops, and small inns.

You can sit and watch a 20 minute show on all the wildlife (under the sea and on land) on 3 huge screens. The photography/video is pretty good and the narration is interesting.
There is also a mini "jungle walk" where you can see some beautiful birds.
It is all free.

The Seventh Floor of the Crowne Plaza La Concha has been one of the most famous spots in Key West. Best known for the fabulous front row seat it offers to Key West's magnificent sunsets, there is not better spot to get a bird's eye view of paradise. The view from the "Top" is spectacular as the hotel is the tallest building in Key West. You can pay $10 for the shipwreck museum, to climb in their tower, or go for free to the top of La Concha Bar.
If you are lucky than you can see in the distance, the boats in the harbour.
