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.

We visited Highlander Park in Dunedin for the Kiwanis Sprayground which is a fun Splash Pad Water…read morePark Area for kids. 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!

It's a great place for a casual stroll, a spirited run, a great playground for the kiddies. Or a picnic with 3 different covered areas with tables. A regulation softballl court with a resident Osprey nest watching over the games. A dog park area for running and playing. A wonderful kids area with tons of activities for the kids. There are also high screened courts that may have been for tennis but now maybe pickleball. A nice biking/jogging trail through the park that leads to a continued paved trail beside a tarpon Canal for a good stretch. But the highlight for me was the huge mural on the sidewalk at the entrance by Noelle Jordan Stillwell, Floridian artist. Beautifully drawn Florida Butterñues and Flowers. What a neat way to welcome people into the park. Plenty of parking by entrance. Open Dawn until 9 PM. Check it out.

And ultimately thankful that the city of oldsmar takes as good of care as it does. A nice big playground for kids. A very nice basketball court.

Visit this place if you're looking to unwind. It's majestic. It also has a bald eagle nest in one the light poles. Very neat if your into seeing nature at its best.

It is a circle w/mini trails…read morethat brings you to a main trail or you could just walk the circumference - love the fact other people are using it. I took my pup and saw others w/theirs - some people do not abide by the leash rule FYI. My shelter dog gets easily scared by other dogs, so that was the only part I didn't like. Trash bags are provided for you to help maintain the trail, so be sure to pickup your dog's poop! This place is beautiful - it was baren despite going on the weekend and gives you a chance to really soak in the beauty. Of course, the oak trees & palms including many other plants/trees I couldn't identify are so pretty. There's a small pond (catch & release) surrounded by overgrown vines and trees & two small bridges. There's a dock that overlooks the lake - I somehow missed it and will def. return to check it out. No restrooms. Paved paths available if you prefer. Parking is plentiful.

We came to Edgewater for the annual craft beer fest in the park with friends. The space is small…read moreand there really isn't much there other than green space and the view of the water. They beer fest itself was pretty underwhelming considering the other festivals we've been to as they only had a couple stands to get different local options at. We go for the local beers, not nationally distributed stuff you can get anywhere. We did try some interesting twists on deviled eggs from Wicked Chicken's Deviled Eggs while walking around. One I think was made with truffles and the other had bacon on it but honestly do not remember the actual combinations. I did find some humor in the fact that the wrist bands were sponsored by a lawyer's office... juuuuust in case you need them from having too much to drink at the festival. LOL.

The park is beautifully maintained with plenty of green space to relax, walk around, or just take in the scenery. There is a really special and respectful atmosphere here with the memorial elements that make it more than just a regular park. It is a great spot to slow down and appreciate the surroundings while still being a nice place to bring family or just enjoy some quiet time. Everything felt clean and well cared for and the layout makes it easy to walk through and explore. It is not overly crowded which makes it even better if you are looking to get away from the busier spots nearby. Definitely a 5 star park and a great place to visit if you are in the Dunedin area.

I'm not sure the parking is truly dedicated to the park but I don't think a few minutes to pay your respects will be a problem. Life is good with a respectful park.

Glen Oaks Park runs up against a neighborhood on the south side. The west end of the trail passes by some apartment complexes. It has a 1 mile paved trail around a few different retention ponds. The park is beautiful and looks like the city maintains it well. There are a plethora of tall, beautiful, sprawling trees. It would be a nice place to read a book on a cooler day. I saw a few birds here. There are a lot of alligator signs, but I did not find any. The pond contains a massive amount of turtles that come swimming toward you when you walk out on to the overlook. This indicates that people have been feeding them here (which is really not good for the animals, but happens often at parks in our area). The park also has soccer fields, boardwalks with overlooks that go out onto the water, and a small playground. The playground has a small rock wall, a rope web, and a tire swing. It has bathrooms, but they were closed when I visited. I am not sure why. There were not any signs, but the gates were pulled and locked. Overall, it is a decent local park. I probably will not return that often because the trail was a little short for me. It was fun to explore and visit for my first time here.

So if you are from a large city, don't like nature and most comfortable with concrete, cars, city noises, etc. you will like it. I did not enjoy my experience. I walked my dog past the tiny playground that looked really old. Very short trail for bikes, short grassy trail for walkers. It looked overly manicured to me like most small yards around houses in our area. My back yard is almost as big as the only small grassy area that had a few trees, but my yard has birds, butterflies, more native plants and trees, much more enjoyable. The path was mostly sunny without shade. I walked around a lot because I wanted exercise, but ten minutes could cover the entire area even walking very slow. There are benches and a bridge that are nice but I don't plan to return. To me it was a waste of my time. I love nature and long walks so this was not for me.
