For a town known as Dog-edin, they really need to put their money where their mouth is. The "big…read moredog" section is run down, lots of dirt holes and bare spots, water area is a mess. The "small dog" side is "nicer" but still not worth the trip.

I've only had my dog, Penney, for nine months. The first few months consisted of dealing with…read moreshots, being in heat, and then, finally, getting her spayed. She loves going on walks but has that little dog mentality where she barks at all the other dogs. We went to dog training, basic and intermediate. I was nervous about taking her to the dog park, due to all of the above issues. When we first arrived, so many of the little dogs come running up to the gate, making it a bit intimidating to come in. Both my Penney and I struggled with this for the first few weeks but soon she began to love going there. It was almost six weeks before I saw her initiate play with another dog. It's been enjoyable seeing her having fun. My only complaint would be that it seems there should be a cement platform under the picnic tables. The dogs have dug a tunnel under one. Not sure where they plan on going! The shade and the breeze are really nice up there. Even when it's too hot at home, it's almost always better at the dog park!

Very beautiful and Clear! We went in around 11 and stayed till around 4. The water was pretty…read moreshallow when we got there, and got more shallow the longer we were there. Good amount of people and kids. Everyone was really friendly (my umbrella almost flew away and a group of ladies got it for me). There was a group of boys that seemed really nice having other kids join to play. Seemed to have a lot of positive vibes there. Warning: please don't go near the rocks. There is a half barrier wall and at the end is a pile of Boulders/Big Rocks with SHARP barnacles I barely touched them and have paper cuts all over my hands looking around for shells, they guys with me have deep cuts of there shins and feet. Highly recommend gloves and proceed with caution is looking for shells. It was mostly calm water. Towards the end it had some decent waves, for the Gulf side anyways.

The beach is small and was crowded on a Thursday afternoon…read more The drinks at the so-called cafe were undrinkable. The banana slushie had ice cubes as big as pebbles floating in a white mixture tasting vaguely of banana. The mango smoothie looked radioactive and was clearly nothing but chemicals. If it doesn't come in a bottle or a can, just say no. We had a fried fish sandwich, a hotdog, one each of these terrible drinks and a Diet Pepsi for almost $50. If you can, go to Clearwater Beach.

I knew about this place when I was 16 and it wasn't yet a park…read more I stopped here with my love to catch the sunset and maybe see if someone had left some painted rocks. The tide was out, and we were one of three cars when we pulled in. I decided to see what was going on down by the water side. A guy was fishing, there were a lot of little crabs and I found a large painted rock down on the water's edge. I took some phots and then came up and decided to walk, because the park is not just that parking area, its all that edge water area. There are benches, there are palm trees. It's really just a nice area along Dunedin's water front that make this such a plesant area to be in.

It is super spacious and with several wide and comfortable paths. On each road you find water fountains for the dogs yes because it is quite hot and once you get tired of walking with your dog almost at the exit they have a closed and quite wide area with seats and certain obstacles for the dogs to play climb and ride. Anyway, my Oliver loves the only thing that we get out of there very dirty by the sand although at the exit they have a hose to clean his legs. Highly recommended, I assure you, you will love it. You can't bring food or drinks. And the dogs are without the leach

We take our little dogs to the dog park, which is separated into areas for small dogs, medium dogs, all Dogs and big elderly dogs.

We took a picture of the map, and I'm glad we did, because it would be easy to get turned around in there. Unfortunately there is no great flow to the walking paths and trails. Many of the trails intersect with each other, and while well-marked, we found ourselves just walking aimlessly. The bodies of water we passed were murky, and the swamp smell was pretty strong. Also, one of the boardwalks was closed the day we were there, so we couldn't explore that area. They do offer disc golf there, which I think is a cool idea. Plus, there is a free butterfly garden in the park, although nothing was blooming in it so we only saw two butterflies. One of the things I enjoy most about Florida parks is all the wildlife you get to see - and that did not happen here; we saw one heron (or egret?) and that was it. It is very well maintained for a free park, though, so if you're in the area you should stop in and experience it.

Definitely one of the better parks to go spend some time outdoors.

The director came out and told everyone to move because it was a fire hazard which is understandable. She also mentioned that the pool was still open which is a lie because they legally can't be open if there is lightning within a 10 mile radius. Nobody moved so she called the police for assistance... again, understandable. Meanwhile, she had her staff in the pool with Lightning 3 miles away. By law, pools have to close if Lightning is within a 10 mile radius. This would be a form of negligence if anyone was struck and can result in prison time. This happened around 10:30AM on 9/27/25.

The capacity of Kiwanis Sprayground is 90 kids and kids under 3 must wear waterproof diapers to prevent unwanted accidents. The water park has staff that monitors the grounds for kids accidents and the staff is pretty prompt about temporarily closing the whole Waterpark down and cleaning up kids accidents, which is nice. The Water park features a dragon, a gator, flowers, a pirate ship slide, hoops, a mushroom waterfall, and a dolphin with water everywhere! Next we visited Highlander's Aquatic Center Pool with 2 slides that the kids loved. The pool was clean, had a lifeguard, and had friendly staff! The aquatic center has swimming classes and after school kids babysitting programs. Highlander Park's Kids playground is officially designed for kids 5-12, has 4 slides, a fish theme, a rock climbing wall, and swings. The kids playground is not covered from the sun is about medium in size. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here just for the playground but it's a nice addition to complement everything else kids can do at this park. Highlander Park occupies a whopping 70 acres and is Dunedin's second largest park. Highlander Park has a multi-use recreation area featuring the Dunedin Community Center, the Fine Art Center, 3 playgrounds, picnic tables, picnic pavilions, tennis courts, sand volleyball, baseball little league fields. Highlander park hosts many community events here including the annual Dunedin Celtic Festival which I had the pleasure of attending many moons ago. If you're in Westchase, Oldsmar, Dunedin, or Clearwater, I highly recommend making a short drive to Dunedin's Highlander Park to give your kids hours of fun!
