They also have a "Social Hall" that you can rent for parties - as long as the parties aren't like toga parties or some other type of wild party. I have seen dolphins from the park. I have also seen manatees in the waters off the southern side of the complex. You will never catch me in the pool because I don't like swimming in chlorine or uric acid. They have a lot packed into a small area, just a short walk north of the heart of the Clearwater Beach action.

Came to Highland rec center for the aquatic area for my daughter's birthday. We signed up for the…read moreafternoon swim that was two hours long. Now there is a lot of amenities here at the aquatic center but the two big slides in the corner are little rocky. We decided to go down the waterslides when we first got there and noticed that both have flaws. There are wasp nests underneath the slides so you do see tons of wasp flying around. The swirl slide we took moves really slow so you have to push yourself at some point to keep moving forward down the slide. People were coming down quickly after you would get off the slides they got kind of close to landing in the water by us. The straight down slide you catch air midway, especially for a little kids you kinda stopped, touching the slide at one point. Now for the smaller kid area it was perfect for my five year old. They had little slides over there and even a medium kid slide as soon as you walk up nice splash pad a lot more slow pace and relaxing. they do have lifejackets there if needed for children. They also have a café where they serve Domino's Pizza and other snacks and drink options which we did get some Gatorade's and a whole Domino's Pizza, and for the price it wasn't bad.

Just came from a cross country meet there. it started raining and lightning so people were seeking…read moreshelter from lightning under the awning. 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!

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. We purchased this off of Viator and it DID NOT disappoint. As visitors here…read moreon vacation sadly Clearwater didn't have a lot to offer since the temps were low eliminating water sports. But on our last day here we were glad to find this place. It offers a multitude of games to play and some alcoholic beverages of beers and things along that line. The environment, from door to bathroom was very clean and welcoming. And the cost, the Viator experience cost $100 for 2 for a 90 minute experience. We are very competitive and got the hang of the are throwing rather quickly. The experience has led us to want to play when we return home. They also offer nights for teachers, which I am, first responders, veterans, etc. If you're ever in Clearwater, stop in and throw a few around.​

I had no idea that this recreation area was tucked away in this area. I have been attending flag…read morefootball games here for my students. The fields are pretty nice. They are soccer fields and they are nicely leveled and marked. They are great for playing on and there are several fields. We have 6 teams that play each other at once on 3 fields and there are typically (high school?) soccer games going on at the same time. As a bystander attending a game you should know a few things. Parking shouldn't be too much of an issue. It can be a little tricky to get in and out when everyone has games at the same time. You will have to walk some and probably up a hill and possibly on a slanted hill to get around to where your team is. There are sporadic metal benches or tables, but not enough for all the spectators. I would recommend bringing a blanket or chair if you want to sit. I personally just stand for the games. Depending on which field you are on, you may be in the shade. Our games have been all quite nice and comfortable temperature wise, but that is probably due to the time of year. Overall, it is a decent place to play soccer or football. The fields are well maintained. While it is out of the way for me personally, I enjoy watching my students play here and look forward to the games.

For members (which is only $10/year) the classes cost $60 for the month - $15/lesson. It's a great deal! There's only 2-3 people in the class, so it's almost private lessons. If you've priced language classes, you know this is the deal of the day. The classes are really fun and keep your mind sharp!
