    Highlander Park is a Dunedin city park located on the south side of Michigan Blvd. It's the city's second largest park with approximately 70 acres. Highlander Park is a multi-use recreation area which features the Dunedin Community Center, the Fine Arts Center, an over-the-lake Pavilion, Highlander Pool, the Dunedin Nature Center, picnic tables and picnic shelters, tennis courts, sand volleyball, softball and little league fields. There is also a butterfly garden and a "sensory garden for the visually impaired" near the Nature Center. If you haven't discovered this area you should stop by to see for yourself. It offers so much to do and it's right in your back yard.

    Brought my son here to the Dunedin Splash Park in Highlander Park and he had a blast! It's great for little kids and older kids, probably up to around 8-10 (depending on maturity) It is really nice and updated and has a good amount for them to do with a siting area that has both covered and uncovered benches. Very updated and modern. They have a lightning detector to keep kids safe and it will shut down if it is within a certain distance. The park playground is nice and shaded with picnic tables and there are bathrooms right by it! There are also tennis courts here as well. They have 2 regular swings and 2 baby swings but they are in the sun. There are 2 shelters by the water park which would be perfect for a kids birthday or a family get together. Kona ice truck is normally here for kids to cool off and purchase an ice cup and they can put their own flavoring in it too.

    It's a small hidden gem of a park, in my opinion. I have two large dogs, and I like to walk them…read morein different settings for mental stimulation. Lake Chautaqua offers more shade and, if you like, a paved walkway that runs along the road. There are also some well-established paths within the wooded area, which I really like. It tends to be cooler there and gives the dogs plenty to sniff. There are many places to toss your dog's waste, and most people adhere to cleaning up after their pets. A large parking lot toward the beginning of the park has water stations for adults, children, and dogs. There is also an available hose in a small fenced-in area. It's not overly crowded. It is peaceful and you get the feeling you are in nature, although you are surrounded by neighborhoods.

    This is a smaller park and I like it because it's hard to get lost. 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.

    Absolutely loved this island!…read more I have an annual pass for state parks so I didn't have to get into honeymoon island itself. A short drive to the paying booth for taking the ferry from honeymoon to caladesi. It is $20 dollars but they do take military discount too! The two guys on the boat are very funny guys. The captain loves to tell dad jokes and the other tells you fun facts about the islands. It's a short ride to caladesi. Once we arrived there was lots to explore however my friend and I just had a beach day. There is construction going on due to the past hurricanes but there is bathrooms, a cafe, and plenty of shade and trails! I can't wait to go back and explore more. The ferry takes off from honeymoon every hour and from caladesi every half hour. Highly recommend a day trip here!! Water is so nice.

    A true Florida gem! I had never been here but always heard great things so I decided on this day to…read moredrive down and check it out. It is accessed by ferry with a great crew from the honeymoon island state park in Dunedin or by boat for a fee. The regular price for the ferry is $20 RT per person. They also have a military discount. I went on a Friday and expected it to be crowded but it wasn't so that was nice. There is a cafe which different food, drink, and souvenir offerings. If you rent a beach chair or umbrella, you can get 2 free drinks from the cafe so that's cool. Regular chairs are $35 and lounge chairs are $50. They come in a set of 2. Because it was just me, I got the lounge chairs for a discount of $40. The water was perfect and I had the best time. I can't wait to go back!

    What an absolutely beautiful park with stunning views!…read more I had the pleasure of visiting here during a February weekend, and it is very clean, refreshing and peaceful. A lot of different birds to see and it's great for a walk or bike ride. We loved walking here during the Safety Harbor BDR (race) and took our time to enjoy the views. I have visited several times and every time it is gorgeous on the way in and out. Appreciate the varied places to stop, rest and take photos too.

    This is one of the most beautiful parks in Florida. A must see for any visitors to the area. Plenty…read moreof areas to accommodate a party of five or fifty. There are shaded tables and grills throughout the park. Wonderful trails for walking, jogging, dog walking, or just casual strolls. Multiple playgrounds for kids. Huge old trees throughout, many draped in Spanish Moss, offer spectacular vistas to see and photograph. Multiple areas for recreation such as volleyball, baseball/softball, fishing, and canoeing. We have enjoyed this park for over 30 years and have attended multiple company functions and family gatherings. The Indian Mound is paved and offers a glimpse into the past. Informational markers all along the way. Roads are paved (and 15 mph), easily traversed by car, bike, or walking. Almost every area offers scenic views of the northern tip of Tampa Bay waters. Something new to me was a series of rocks that I first thought maybe a rock garden, but closer examination revealed a series of climbing rocks for kids. It's a great place, wonderfully maintained. Plane to spend an hour or more enjoying it, with friends or family, or alone. Peaceful....
