The 29 best parks and gardens in Dunedin

Great park to catch the sunset in Dunedin! Plenty of parking and you can walk out in the pier and enjoy some of the best sunset views in Florida! Across the street is Eddy’s bar if you’re looking for a drink and a burger or wings afterwards. (Do me a favor and enjoy your evening but don’t tell everybody up north about Dunedin this town can be our secret) Head over to downtown Dunedin after dinner and be sure to tip your servers!

6/27/25 stopped by with our dogs on our walk along the Pinellas trail

Our 3-year-old loved this park!! The tree fort theme was super cute. After we played at the park, we walked across the street to look at the water, then we walked on the Pinellas Trail to HOB (kid-friendly brewery). This park does not have any restrooms or water fountains to my knowledge.

Weaver Park, located in Dunedin Florida. Great place to go and enjoy the water especially at Sunset. The town of DUNEDIN will have events here throughout the year. There is a large open lawn space that allows for a small gathering from time to time you will find music, festivals, Music in the park, it’s a great place to spend time and it is located between downtown Dunedin and the Dunedin Causeway. Come spend the day for just a couple hours. There are benches to enjoy the view. There is a small parking space that fills up around sunset. We were park is across from a walking trail and a playground so bring the family and enjoy.

Had a nice picnic. Kiddos had fun at the playground. Before we left we walked across the street and got to see 6 manatees swimming by the pier. Hope the pier is fixed soon, we could have seen them better. Park is off the trail so you can bike there.

5.12.24: The park itself is VERY dog friendly. There is not an actual fenced-in park for dogs. The Pinellas Trail is directly adjacent to the park with paved and grass walkways. Across the street is the water area. There is no dog area that I'm area of. But there are great sunsets and a Puerto to walk on over the water It has a great kid playground, 2 pavilions with benches and 1 grill each, a nice free workout area with instructions, and a public bathroom building that is clean every time I'm there. There was plenty of shade all around and extra parking just north of the park on Bayshore.

Folks Weaver Park is an amazing location to bring your families and enjoy some time with the family, friends, alone time, and enjoy nature, or even workout. This park has an amazing workout spot, no free weights, just use your own body weight. Great location for biking and it’s only minutes away from Downtown Dunedin and the Causeway that leads to Honeymoon Island. Extremely clean and locals are extremely friendly. One of my favorite spots to catch a beautiful sunset. Grab a seat, bring you love ones or pets, blanket and a coffee even a book and lay back and enjoy!

This is my special place! I love exploring the trails, observing the animals and wildlife, and living among the peaceful sights and sounds of nature. Hammock Park is committed to maintaining the beauty of its grounds, encouraging visitors to clean up after themselves and help pick up any litter to protect the environment. This hidden gem is perfect for peaceful morning or evening walks. I recommend visiting Lake Suemar and the Fern Trail. 🌴🌳

A nice, dog-friendly park with many short, maintained trails. Download a map (plenty of QRs in the park) since the many short trails and intersections can get confusing and you might miss most of the park. The boardwalks are closed to bicycles. The map indicates habitats and trails are named after distinctive plants along the trails. The Palm trail has some of the tallest Sabal palm trees in the area. Alongside the brackish waters grow mostly Black mangroves, with some White and Button mangroves in between.

A nice little park in Dunedin Florida- a little oasis from the overdevelopment of Pinellas County. Several tails for walking or biking. Lots of dogs. Good place to spot owls and gopher tortoises. Can do 2-3 miles if you want on all the trails. Butterfly garden of native plants.

I have been to park many times in the past 43 years that I lived in the Dunedin area. I recently went to see how the park faired after Hurricane Milton. There were many trees down but there were signs of new vegetation that may have been carried to the park either by winds or flooding. Still a great place to hike as there are many different trails to hike.

Beautiful park for walking. About 3 miles if you do all the trails, lots of shade. Trails are clear and well maintained. Not much wildlife, but you can see butterflies, gopher tortoises, and birds here. Also has a playground for kids and a place for dogs to run and play.

A very nice park to find in a rather populated area. You can walk a variety of paths that are very natural, dirt or shell, and many under the shade of old trees. There are clean facilities, picnic pavilions and a mix of upland, and lowland areas. We tend to type nature parks and this is a bit more utilized for neighborhood walkers and such, but still a nice spot to get out under some trees, see a few animals ( several tortoises and rabbits). There are a few canals through the park and we spotted ducks and ducklings and you could see schools of mullet. I always enjoy seeing some type of water when visiting a park, adds a little intrigue. There is also a boardwalk area that goes over a saltwater marsh area where we spotted many fiddler crabs and a few types of birds. There is a Frisbee course that there were several were making use of. That was fun to just watch for a bit. Covering all the trails and loops we were able to walk 5 miles which was a goal and we were mainly under shade, had clean restrooms available. If you go I recommend looking for the small butterfly garden if you like that sort of thing and check out the old church built in 1888 that was moved to this property and restored. (these two things are right next to one another near one of the entrances.) Between all these things it is easy to make this a nice afternoon on a good weather day.

A stunning walk through forested trails, feels so far away! Cool, shady trails meander providing the feeling of peaceful isolation. Our dogs had the best time too. The Adventures of Finn and Rail

So tbh I didn’t feel this place lived up to expectations we drove out there the day of our flight heading home. This was the last beach we were going to it was a bit of a let down. To be fair it was very nice there but compared to other beaches we went to for free this beach was 8 bucks to get into the state park. Not trying to bash the place the rangers were all very nice the visitors center was also very nice just so many other beaches we went to were free and in my opinion nicer. I thought the shell tree was really cool too

Love this beach!! Def my new go to. Perfect for paddleboarding or just hanging out. U can rent or bring your own. It get a busy towards the afternoons but there is tons of parking.

This is one of my favorite spots to go to the beach. Entrance is $8 pretty car up to six people, but it is so worth it! The sand is nice and fluffy with lots of seashells. The water is warm and not too many waves, the sunset is magical and so so sooooooo pretty. There are showers and bathrooms with changing stalls here. Definitely give this place a visit, your will enjoy every minute of it.

We decided to explore a new spot while in Florida and headed to Honeymoon Island Beach just outside of Dunedin. The island is surrounded by lush greenery and nature, yet also offers a gorgeous stretch of beach. On the way in, we saw several turtles crossing the road—there are even special crossings for them, so be sure to slow down and watch out. It’s a perfect blend of natural beauty and seaside relaxation.

It costs $8 a car load up to six people but well worth the cost. This is a beautiful State Park and is well kept up minus some of the buildings still being closed from last year's hurricanes. We went for a drive but ended up spending hours here walking the beach ⛱️ and viewing the different hiking paths and dog beach here. Definitely would come back and make a day out of it. There was one food truck and all bathrooms are replaced by port of johns. Hopefully they will be able to get the buildings back up and going soon.

Absolutely perfect! If you're looking for a less crowded and more local beach this is definitely it! White sand beaches and endless seashells for the kiddos to hunt. We had an awesome time here!

Best state park and beach in the area! It did get pretty beat up from the 2024 hurricane season, but still one of the most natural, filled with soft white sands and plenty of parking. The entrance fee is $8 per car up to 4 people, and they take credit cards. The pavilions are still closed, but there are rows of porta pottys. Perfect for families, as it's easy to get to the beach areas with multiple entrances that have walkways. The water is calm and has shallow areas at low tide to just sit in your chair as the water bushes up against you. So relaxing! Fantastic for sunsets! The dog beach area is a little bit of a walk to get to, but one of the nicest around.

Pure Awesomeness! From the ferry ride there, to the unspoiled natural beauty, white sand & sparkling water. Capt Steve & First Mate George were very friendly & helpful. Reasonable prices...$8 Park entrance fee, $20 Round trip ferry ride, $35 Cabana rental which includes 2 chairs, an umbrella and 2 fountain drinks. Made to order sandwiches $9 - $14 (We ordered the BLT, Tuna salad & burgers, including a veggie burger). All delicious and prepared & served with smiles from Sean & Slavisa :) All around...a beautiful experience!

This is hands down my favorite beach in Florida! The white sand and turquoise water are absolutely stunning. We’ve been here twice now, and it’s the perfect spot to relax and spend the day. While it’s still bouncing back from hurricane damage, it’s definitely worth the visit!

Beautiful ! Lots of small fish swimming around. My only recommendation is maybe bring some bug spray.

If you're looking for a beach with beautiful water and not a lot of people, Caladesi Island is the place. It's beautiful, and the sand is so soft. They also have a small restaurant inside. The food was good but again pricey. $9.99 for a hamburger and $2 to add cheese. You can kayak from Ho eymoim Island, take the ferry, or go with your own boat. The ferry is nice but pricey at $18 per person for 4 hrs. The crew are nice, but if you have more than 3 people, it's not something you'll probably do very often. It's about a 15-20min boat ride depending on if there are dolphins. The captain will stop so you can see them.

Love this place go to Honeymoon Island to catch a boat ride over to the Island $20 adults $10 children small kids are free

Oh wow! This is one of those places you wish you had known about forever, if you haven’t been before. You have to take a ferry and no wagons or carts, so consider that when packing. But once you get there (about a 15-20 minute ferry ride), there is a pretty decent concession stand/little market, clean bathrooms, and plenty of blue chairs/umbrella combos to rent for $35, and the softest white sand you’ve set foot on. Really I could go on about this location - ferry captains were knowledgeable & offered everyone to take a pic of their group, we were greeted by dolphins playing in the harbor as we arrived (even the rare albino dolphin!). Our daughter loved walking down the beach finding seashells. Even on the weekend it wasn’t that crowded. Truly one of the most serene and beautiful beaches we’ve visited. This is definitely on our must come and must come often list!!

Took a Ferry from Honeymoon Island to Caladesi Island. This place is excellent! We will definitely be back. Can't believe I had never heard of it and I have lived in Florida for almost 60 years! The beach is stunning and the atmosphere is excellent. Highly recommended.

Edgewater Park is a nice place to enjoy walking out to the small pier, playing on their children’s outdoor park area, have a picnic lunch, and the people watching is good. The parks children play area is well taken care of and a nice place to enjoy, and is walkable from downtown. This is our 2nd favorite Dunedin children’s playground. It’s a very walkable area with a pretty pavilion that you could have a little lunch on. The marina is visible from the park so you can see the boats that are docked there. It’s a very pretty setting and we use it quite often living near downtown Dunedin. I’ve also done a photo shoot there with my extended family on Fourth of July. So it’s just an overall beautiful environment. The bathrooms are about 90% kept up with IE Clean.

This is a very nice park in downtown Dunedin. It has parking, it is near the pier and water. Plenty of large shade trees, too. There is a very good playground and bathroom facilities. A nice shelter and The Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial. It is a smaller park but convenient bring on the edge of downtown and water.

What a great little park in downtown Dunedin There are paved sidewalks throughout the park with picnic shelters, playgrounds and plenty of places to sit. We stopped in at Edgewater Park while riding the Pinellas Trail. When we stopped in it was quite crowded as there was a music festival going on with live music in the amphitheater and vendors set up throughout the park. We had a good time. Great place to take in a sunset.

Really nice park with Marina and downtown Dunedin within walking distance. Love coming here. It was the first place I ever went for a walk when I moved to Pinellas County. A great place for your kids, exercise, seeing the water, finding good eats nearby and just an easy park for great access to Dunedin, the water and many other places within walking distance.

Photos I saw had me thinking this was a huge sprawling park. Actually, it's a small cozy place. Lots of trees and shade, a scattering of strategically located picnic tables, a kids play area, public bathrooms and a scenic view of the marina and local businesses. I had a nice cigar after lunch. Lot's of folks eating their lunch, walking dogs, riding bikes, exercising and relaxing. If your in the area, a nice spot to chill with plenty of free parking. Nicely located near the busy business and marina area of Dunedin, where tons of local eateries and shops reside.

Super cute and WELL shaded park in Dunedin! Kids had a blast here. Bouncy rubber flooring makes for a nice cushiony play space. Ample activities to climb on and clean restrooms close by. Sea breeze kept us cool and we enjoyed the park very much.

Great little family park in Dunedin to watch the sunset or simply enjoy the sea breeze in the shade.

I went to this park because I was told the sunsets are beautiful. They were not lying. I enjoyed walking the path to capture pictures. There are benches to sit on along the way. There are docks, but they are marked private. Many residents starting crossing the street to watch the sunset. People were very friendly. As far as the “park” part, I am unsure about that. I intend to go back and check it out. I will update as soon as I do. I was unsure of where to park. I ended up parking on a side street. Hopefully once I return I can find where the park begins and where to park. If your looking for a spot to see a beautiful sunset, this is your spot!

Beautiful little roadside park. Today (August 30, 2023) the walk was a bit more exciting than usual as Hurricane Idalia had passed by offshore last night. Part of Edgewater Drive, which parallels the park was flooded by the storm surge. There were ducks floating down the street and then floating out over the park into St Joseph's Sound. This little park is always worth a visit.

Nice gulf view of Clearwater beach. We saw some dolphins the other day right up by the shore line. Kids loved it

I stop on my bike ride and sit at one of the benches along the trail, very nice sitting there with the nice breeze and watch the boat's go by.

Nice strip by the water with lots of benches, but parking isn't easy to find.

We love our John Grant Hubbard Park, named for Florida’s longest serving City Attorney who, since the early 1970’s, inspired Dunedin to have many parks.

Good place to take a long walk along the water. Very limited parking is a big negative if you're looking to go on the weekend. Side street parking may be available but since we went on a Thursday we were able to get a space in the lot.

This is a nice, safe Scenic ride. Places close by to eat, especially going through Dunedin. There are washrooms with picnic tables along the trail.

Great trail with shade - might be able to park next to Palm Harbor Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Bought my condo near the trail so I could ride it. Love to ride to the beaches from this trail

pinellas trail longer than listed on google maps.

Love this trail system

Road the north section from Tarpon Springs. Visited the Florida Botanical Gardens. Eateries and interesting sites along the way.

Rode the trail from Tarpon Springs to Crystal Beach. Well worth it. Passed the primate center, a craft brewery and a couple of parks.

Nice wooded and shaded park gives some relief from heat in the summer for kids to play without being in the sun. Some nice variations of playground equipment that differs from your standard setups.

Very nice local park in Dunedin. It’s fully shaded by large trees which was so nice for summer in Florida. All of the playground was shady so kids won’t have issues with hot playground equipment.

Nice little park. The centerpiece of the park is a children playground. There is a lot of shadow, so it’s comfortable to play there even in a hot day. There are several benches and picnic tables. It’s a nice park to come with kids or to have a lunch outside.

Very nice park lots of trees and shade. It’s a neighborhood park so there isn’t any water fountains or bathrooms. The design is very unique, set us for intermediate to advanced climbers. They have a smaller playground for kids who can’t climb as well though.

Tons of shade. Dogs okay on a leash. Really cool obstacle-course type of playground with swings. They also have a smaller playground for little ones. Big field with trees to play in also. Great place for a picnic.

Pretty cool and unique playground. Nice shade. Good for all ages of kids.

This park is so nice and shaded from all the tree coverage. Lots of leaves so it is a bit slippery when walking around the play ground. Lots of space to play ball or walk around.

My dogs love this park and so do I for the most part. The only reason I don't give this great park a 5 star is because people with large dog well over the weight limit bring their dog's over to the small side. Not all small dogs like large dogs, not all large dogs know how to play with small dogs it's safer for the small and the big dogs to be separated. (Ask all the small dog owners if it's okay before bringing your big dog over)

Great dog park with two sides, one for big dogs and one for little dogs. Most people and dogs are friendly and playful. Some areas don't have good grass coverage, so expect a little dirt if there is rough playing or ball chasing. Free parking and some seating in the shade.

Incredible! I heard about this park the for buddy the last few trips down, but just realized it’s a charity/communtiy effort from Achieva bank. Wow, that’s the right way to give back 🐶

Love this dog park. Great size, very clean. Lots of places for people to sit and see their pups. Plenty of water bowls, working hose and a poop station. My puppy likes going there.

I think it's the best Dog Park in Dunedin. It has two large separate sections for small and big dogs. Has picnic tables, several benches and shaded areas. There's plenty of free space for running and getting to know other dogs and there's handy hoses installed for water bowels or doggie pool use. The easy in-and-out gates make it stress free.

Has large and small dog sides. About 85 percent of pet parents were attentive and cleaning up after their dog. Has shade trees, benches, pools, water bowls. Mulch kept getting in my sandals so I plan to wear sneaks there in the future. Lots of parking. Friendly place.

Big park. Plenty of parking. Two separate areas. One for small dogs and one for big dogs. Plenty of space to sit with shade. Well kept. Water for dogs. Small dog area is L shaped, so if your dog is a little shy, you have room to kind of be away from the other dogs. People are great. Well visited.

Friday market brings a variety of crafts, food, and produce in a beautiful park setting. There is also street music.

They have a daily farmers market with lots of vendors. A really neat place in the center of Dunedin.

The St Patrick's festival was really entertaining. Beer , food & stuff as well as good Celtic music.

Nice little park in downtown Dunedin. Restaurants, shops and bars near by. Visited a Celtic festival at the end of January.

Come down to pioneer Park it's art in a park today and it is awesome!

Nice little park right in the heart of Dunedin. Perfect place for all kinds festivals. Like the Festival of the Dead...

Had a great time at your Mardi Gras fest!

Walked the dogs along the Dunedin causeway around 8:30pm since it’s been so hot out! It opens 5am closed 11pm

This is a great unkown jewel of a place to hang out and chill AFTER the sunset! I will occasionally roll out there after sunset on the West side of the "High & Dry Grill" and back my truck right up to the water. Out comes my beach rockin chair, my bluetooth speaker, and my 6-foot Delta kite with 30-foot tails. I'll turn on some club-mix house and trance tunes and enjoy watching my kite dancing in the sky. ....Total cost? ....$0.00-dollars!

First time stopping off on the Dunedin Causeway to get the view of a great sunset. Went there on a Wednesday evening and while it had a lot of people, it didn't feel crowed. Drivers and visitors were courteous. Tide was way out, so it wasn't as picturesque, but the area had plenty of space to walk. Sunset was, as always, spectacular. Definitely would stop at this causeway again.

This is actually a different nice experience. This is not only a beach but you can kayak for few feet into the ocean where you can find the sandbars to wall around, which felt nice. Plenty of parking, and water also looked nice. If you drive further into island you will find extended beach. I have seen several people doing water adventures.

The Dunedin Causeway, gateway to Honeymoon Island 🏝 State Park is a local 'Jewel'. Sunrise to sunset 🌇, ability to drive 🚗 on the sand & park, yet beware of the Tide, if you decide to go for a walk. Sail Honeymoon rents kayaks, wind riders and has onsite Grill for Chillaxin on the Causeway. Public Bathroom facilities. Watch Dolphins 🐬

1st trip as adult to be here. Everything I remembered and loved except so many people!! Call of the water I guess. Still wonderful

We went kayaking and paddleboarding to Caladesi. Was beautiful 😍

Highlander Park in Salisbury is a wonderful spot for families and nature lovers! The park is beautifully maintained, with plenty of open space for kids to play and relax. The walking trails are peaceful and scenic, perfect for a stroll or a picnic. It’s clean, quiet, and offers a great place to unwind and enjoy the outdoors. A true hidden gem in the area — highly recommended for a relaxing day out!

Awesome day at the Highland Games. Music, athletes, beer, and lots of fun. A wonderful event, going on for 56 years now. What a perfect weather day for fun outside with the bagpipes, drums, dancer's and entertainment under the tent.

Love this park. Has open area dog park, disc golf, lots of areas for picnics and rentable shelters. Plus a playground in the shade. Nature center. Has trails and walking decks above the ground. Lots of beautiful nature everywhere, even flamingos.

Huge park. Has everything you could want to play outside for kids & adults.

We play pickleball there twice a week with our group of ladies, GCGs.

Was their catering the Highland games. The place is huge clean, very well maintained, they had the pool playgrounds for the kids the community center is absolutely gorgeous lots of trees I saw people walking dogs. They had the Highland Games there which have been running for 56 years now it was so much fun to watch and the people were so friendly and nice definitely a place to go see bring your family there have a picnic it's gorgeous

I went there for the dog activities and had a wonderful time, this was a great park.

10 nice, newer dedicated courts with benches, and paddle racks and small garbage can for each court. People are nice as well. Low-ish weight times with most players in the mid to upper levels. Male and female restrooms 20 yards away on site

Despite the addition of pickleball causing more activity here, I find the community garden a valuable location in Dunedin. One of the few un-gated gardens in Pinellas, there is a covered pavilion, bathrooms, water fountain, walking trail, and grass/gravel parking. Only the ADA spots are paved.

Awesome community garden in Dunedin. I enjoyed walking around seeing the beautiful plants and veggies. I see a lot of people put a lot of love into it. I appreciate seeing up close. The tennis court is next to it. I would say worth going to.

Rrview is for Pickleball only. 10 courts where winners stay on. You cone and find the court that best suites your ability. Bathroom facility and water fountain ( bubbler for you Wisconsin people) are close and clean.

This place has Ten open door pickleball courts and many people playing there daily. It’s also free for all and open from 8:00am to 8:30pm. There is a bathroom and water fountain. The courts are all new and everyone is very friendly. You might consider going with a partner as I struggle to find partners sometimes because most people came in pairs and want to play together. But you can wait just a little and find partners or take turn on a court.

Pickleball courts are amazing along with the bathrooms and sitting areas. Everything is well built and the shaded seating area makes waiting for games 1000 times better.

It was a great park with lots of pickleball courts. The folks there are very competitive and are also a lot of fun to meet them and compete in some friendly games

Dunedin Youth Guild Park, located in Dunedin, Florida, is a charming recreational area on the intercoastal waterway but does not have direct access to the waterway. It is a basic recreational area with 2 picnic tables and a limited number of spaces in gravel parking lot.

Perfect spot to start a bike ride like I usually do once a week. Open space and very quiet. Never had any issues with this park.

Small park that is accessible from the trail North of the causeway. No restrooms however.

Nice little stop by some mangroves with a few picnic tables and a view of the bay. Look out for nociums at dusk. Dog welcoming too.

Beautiful park and great spot for take pictures of your car if...you want

This is a lovely and quiet little park. We go there to watch the sunset. The only problem tonight were those pesky little " no see 'ums" bitting the heck out of us. It might be the tide was way out but next time we'll take bug spray! The sunset was still beautiful.

Just another glorious morning ~ Yoga in the Park Dunedin ~Namaste yogi's!!!

Love this park. Tons of shade, a clean bathroom, water fountain, hoops, pavilions with grills. It’s never crowded, my kids and I have free reign on most visits. Other parks in Dunedin have prettier views or more extravagant equipment but this is a solid park and really a hidden gem.

Small but it’s a nice park for an afternoon visit. Both times I’ve been there was one family max. Shaded pavilion offers seating for parents.

Really nice, clean, quiet and does have bathrooms

You can tell City or Dunedin really going all out. New playground equipment, Basketball Ball court looks terrific. Very cool place to chill.

Never crowded . My 3yr old loves this place.

Everything is new swings, all rubber ground for safety under slide also and two grills.

Small park in dunedin good for small family play.

Love this place, I've been taking my granddaughter here since she was 2. She learned how to swim here. She is now 7 and we still love coming here. They have a splash park, regular park, a baby pool and a Olympic size swimming pool, with diving boards and a in the pool basket ball hoop. They have life guards on duty and offer swimming lessons. Great family and community atmosphere.

We've been having our daughter's birthday party here for 3 years now. It's fantastic! The water area is enclosed so you don't have to worry about the kids wandering off. It's nice and cool on brutal Florida days and the entire place is always nice and clean. I would highly recommend this park for your party needs

Great place to cool off with the kids in the heat. Pool, spray ground, playground, bathrooms. Easy access just off Alternate US 19. Plenty of parking. It's super close to Downtown Dunedin. The spray ground itself is 100% free and well maintained. 10/10 for us 😊

Great place to have a birthday party. The staff is friendly, the space is clean and the kids had a blast jumping off the diving board. The pool has lifeguards on duty. Note there is a small swim test for kiddos to jump off the diving board

My kids love it here! Wish it was open all year round lol spend about an hour at the splash pad then head to the park after. Parent with littles get there as early as you can so they can enjoy the slide to themselves :)

Great venue for a birthday party! We had the best time!

We came during the Christmas in July event. There's a nice big pool that goes from 4.5ft to 12ft. There is also a little kids pool. Most tables don't have an umbrella but if you ask a lifeguard they will get one for you. The day we were here there were at least 5 lifeguards. Had a nice changing room area. Cheap price for coming for the day.

No question why this is the most-visited state park in Florida. It's affordable, peaceful, well-maintained, protected, and teeming with wildlife. Bring sunscreen and bring bug spray. There is zero shade and A LOT of mosquitos. If you're lucky enough to see the beautiful burrowing tortoises, remember to keep a respectful distance. Bathrooms and water fountains can be found at the bath houses. Plenty of parking. Dog beach is a great asset, although I wish the state would re-connect the dog wash station which has been without water since Hurricane Helene (Sept 2024).

Honeymoon Island is beautiful and affordable, but our experience at the pet beach was less than ideal. Unlike the main beach, the pet beach is full of rocks. Also, the trail to the beach is overgrown and I had to stop every few steps to pick sandspurs out of my poor dog's paws. I ended up carrying her most of the way back to my car only to discover that the wash station is out of order. Definitely not the fun little adventure I was hoping for.

This is our favorite pet beach in the area! Wish the area had a bit less rocks at water entry (like if part of the "no pet" area was for pets too would be great for my feet) but other than that its wonderful, and so beautiful. Everyone is kind & most people follow the rules & the area (& water) is clean. The showers don't work here anymore since a hurricane awhile back but I THINK they're trying to fix now.

Beautiful area for you to play with your pup & the water is very clear. However, bug spray is highly recommended! Also, there are plenty of signs saying to pick up after your dog however we didn't see any trash bins.

My wiener dog was swept away in the current here. Some muscle bound freak had to save my girl for me. I was then inclined to makeout with him. I would do anything for my girl❤️ I go to this beach at least once a month now… looking for seashells… while looking for him!

7/6/25 Fletcher and Bronco walked about 2.0 miles around the pet beach 🏝️ we walked the trail and there was tons of mosquitos 🦟 so spray yourself or walk to pet beach 🏖️ from the big parking lot and grey building you will enter the beach and go left for pet beach

Years and years ago the mosquitos were never like this. Local and unfortunately dont feel like its worth going anymore. The park seriously needs to do something about the pests. Its f Disgusting. Spray doesn't really fully protect you because its so bad and doesnt really change during December either. Really bad sand spurs also and dog ended up with a bloody paw and we had to stop every 5 minutes to make sure she didnt pick new ones up.

Nature center has a little something for everyone. Displays, gifts, activities for the young, scavenger hunt. Newest addition Stormy the sea turtle display. Straps and clamps will be off tomorrow.

Great nature center located inside Honeymoon Island State Park. Prices are very reasonable, and the volunteers are happy to suggest walking trails. Great overview map of the entire island located inside. You have to climb stairs... no elevators due to flooding issues from hurricanes. We go inside every time we visit the park. Well, worth the time and effort. We always find some cute trinket to bring to grandkids.

Great place to buy annual passes for individuals or families. You will see information about the wildlife inside. They give you examples with photos. The maps also display the island trails. You can check out the great view outside. They have a plant garden with native Florida plants. Everyone is friendly and nice to talk to.

The Nature Center is interesting. Several items about the local area and the wildlife, tides, etc. Some touristy things to buy. The personnel are really great with tidbits of interesting information. But one of the best and possibly most ignored aspects is the area out behind the Nature Center where there are picnic tables and benches. You can sit and take in the beautiful scenery and water views in very peaceful surroundings. It is worth going just for that.

Stopped in to get our annual family pass while it was 50% off (I believe the state park pass is still on sale until the 14th of January). As you might imagine there was a crowd of folks waiting, but once they called in some backup the line wasn’t too bad. While waiting I had a chance to check out the nature center. It was more in line with a gift shop than a nature center but there was a nice display of sea shells for identifying those you might pick up at the beach. I also really enjoyed reading the history of Honeymoon Island and how it became a state park. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend this pretty sea side state park.

When you go to honeymoon Island and you want to find out where all the good stuff is this is where you want to stop first. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. Plenty of great stuff to look at inside the nature center. The restrooms were clean and well attended.

The elevated welcome center at Honeymoon Island Park. Has outside stairs or a long but scenic ramp. Nice museum and displays of local plants and wildlife. Also, some items to purchase. It also serves as the renewal area for annual park memberships.

It’s a gem. Plenty of activities for all ages. Very affordable. The only negative comment is one of the front desk employees who’s got very argumentative approach to solving problems that aren’t even problems while dealing with anyone else in there. Second thing I’d like to point out is absolutely atrocious snacks they give kids at the kids camp. My nephew was vomiting until late night after eating camp provided hot dog, chips and pizza on 4th of July event, and my daughters are being offered synthetic ice popsicles (see photo) every week that are worse than junk food. I asked who buys them for the camp and apparently the city provides them which makes it even worse since with the bureaucracy it will be impossible to get them to replace them with a healthier option. I have no complaints about the camp overall, on contrary, every single person involved is doing amazing work. I had opportunity to interact with most of the camp group leaders and other staff, I can’t say enough about how nice they are. Polite, friendly, respectful, professional, helpful. The supervisor is amazing too. It’s our second year in the camp and we had wonderful experience both times. So overall I would give our Community Center all 6 stars if I could.

Only used the fitness centre here — it’s unbelievable. Perfect gym, super clean and all the equipment you need for an awesome workout. The staff is super friendly too, always a pleasure coming to say hello. Love this spot and keep up the great work!

I love this place! It's nice, clean, and everyone is so kind. I want to give a special thank you to Mr. Alex. I was having a hard time signing up for something online, so I called for help. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and helped solve my problem. Thank you for everything!

Nice expanse and location - however, for large events (Highland games in April) parking is a big challenge. Ended up getting much needed exercise walking 20 minutes each way. If there's a large event be certain you're up to the walk or have a shuttle.

So glad I learned that DCC is the host location and home to Dunedin's Fencing Club. I've been looking for a club that practices Saber and was happy to find that Epeé, Foil and Saber are all practiced here! The staff at the front desk are always so kind and I really appreciate the facility and the environment there!

Beautiful, clean rec center with friendly staff. The 1-3 pm linedance class on Saturdays with Gail is the best!

I am not a member and do not use the gym or other amenities, but I am part of an organization who uses the community center on a weekly basis. The community center is always immaculate and sparkling clean and very well cared for. All of the staff are friendly and always look you in the eye and greet you when you’re coming or going. I do not live very close, but it’s so nice I’ve considered joining up and using the gym. It’s a really nice place with nice people running it.

Nice little playground. I like that it's fenced in, I just wish the lock mechanism on the playground gate door worked. The bathrooms are open but could use some repairs. The damage in the bathrooms look like it came from the floods from a recent hurricane.

Cute little park with a nice covered seating area. The two ponds are pleasant for walking around. The park is located in a nice neighborhood that seems friendly and safe. The bathrooms are less than nice but do the job.

This is a great playground in Dunedin, off of Keane Rd! It has a nicely shaded area, well maintained with benches for parents to sit too. They have different play structures for different ages.

A great place for relaxing and walking around the lake. There are benches about every 50 feet. Water birds enjoyed the water, although a sign said do not feed the alligators. The paved walk was shady. Restrooms and picnic tables available. A nice children's playground too.

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Little pond, lots of ducks and other wildlife. Benches to just relax, a walking trail around the pond as well. Shady and cool to beat the Florida heat.

Nice little neighborhood park in and around a deeded community. Bathrooms, grill, covered picnic and benches. Very well maintained and safe place to play with some shade over play structures.

Gorgeous park with a looped, paved trail, playground, and restrooms. There is a hidden trail in the forest that is quite scenic too. Safe place for children and families.

Have been bringing my family here for events, camps or even just to play on the playground for years. It's a fantastic benefit to living in Dunedin, and a place I recommend as an option to parents looking for something their kids can do, or a camp for them to attend. Staff is always top notch, great, helpful and friendly people I've interacted with for several years now. Inside, there's a full court gym, as well as a few rec rooms. There is an outdoor skate park, accessible from inside, though neither my kids nor I have been in there yet. Hopefully I'll remember to update my review when/if that changes.

Only park around w/ a legit swimmer replica. The big bowl is fun but has been Under construction so not in use rn. But Swimmer is still open!! Whole park is sidewalk like textured concrete so it’s a nice change from that slick shit all the newer parks use. Great if u like transition

If I could rate lower I would, this park has denied me access on several different occasions all while presenting itself open to the public. Instead of being informed on a membership I have only been kicked out and ignored. After a lot of specific research I finally found out that 1. You need a membership to get in and 2. The park has been closed due to construction. The lack of information and respect has made me completely uninterested in skating here. I do not recommend you waste your time in trying to skate here.

This aint a real park i get the liability issues but not only are they charging you to get in (5$ everytime) but they also make you wear full gear and if your under 18 your need a parent? This "skatepark" is honestly pathetic since theyre making you pay 5$ just to use half the park

They just don't let you in, even if it's open. And on top of that they want you to pay a membership for a park that's always closed

Would’ve loved to skate there after an hour and 30 min drive, but after arriving the office was closed 30 mins early. Not to mention this place looks like a surveillance camp there’s cameras absolutely everywhere and there’s a MOTION SENSOR for the skatepark itself, should’ve saved the county the money and bought the public schools some books instead… go anywhere else fr

The bowl looks nice, but it was closed due to repair. Not sure why this place opens at 2pm. This is Florida, it gets way to hot by then. I was still going to be charged 5 dollars to only use half of the park? These places should be free.

It's not a horrible dog park. It's a little tricky to find, you have to wind through a base ball park and some racquetball courts to find it. It's a smaller dog park compared to many I have been to. There are some nice oak trees which provide nice shade, however they need to be trimmed higher because the oaks have killed all the grass around the majority of the fenced area. Pair that with a leaky dog watering area and you have a muddy mess.

It's a decent park with lots of room to run. Unfortunately the ground is very uneven and rocky. The dogs were polite but the same can not be said about the owners. They are either talking between each other and ignoring their dogs as you try to enter or they are on speaker phone ignoring their dogs while talking very loudly about thier very opinionated ideas and thoughts. The dog park is a place to play and enjoy your day not to hear about someone's close mindedness while their dog is hogs other dogs toys. The owners are quick to push your dog away from them when the dogs come up to say hello. It wasn't a great experience but my dog got to run for a bit and that's what counts. Needless to say we won't be back.

Terrible dog owners. Both my dogs were humped and peed on. The playground looked nice but other dog owners of very large dogs used the playground for their unleashed pets, so I was unable to let our kid play. The park is beautiful but the people are aweful.

Plenty of room for dogs to run. A big and small dog area.

I have gone there numerous times and never had a problem. Yesterday I went with my two brindle plott hound puppies that are about a year and a half old. There were 3 ladies in the back of the park. My male jumped on her. I apologized that they were puppies and I was working on the jumping. One lady told me I needed to control my dog as the other lady puther knee up and showed me something to try. I explained I did and they were only a year and a half old. I was then told my is the same age and does not do that. I told them I did not want my puppies to ruin there day from ignorence and left. I am sorry I will not be back. I now am looking for another park.

great spot for Spot. Lots of nice grass. Shady areas. Lots of sitting for two legged animals. Water, hose, hand sanitizer available. Our Yorkies really liked it. You may even catch a ball game at adjacent field.

Plenty of room to run. Water access and poop bags available. Generally the dogs are friendly and the owners are responsible. There's shade and sun.

We made a quick stop to view the sunset. Very easy access to pull up to and catch the pretty view. No there's not alot else here besides a pretty view and a bench or two. But we were able to get the job done!!

Great hidden gem! I go here to watch the sunset away from the beach crowds. Easy street parking and you walk right up to the seawall where there are benches. If you get lucky you will see the violinist practicing his craft at sunset!

San Jose Park is a pleasant little area at the end of San Jose Drive facing the inland waterway and/or St. Joseph Sound and looking out toward Caladisi Island. There are two benches where you can sit and look westward out over the water. There is parking for a few cars next to the park. People collect there at sunset to watch the sun go down.

It's a really small park with a seawall. There's enough grass for dogs and there's a doggie clean up station. There was a lot of seaweed and I didn't see any indication of the water depth. The view was nice as was the breeze. It could be a nice place to have a picnic as long as you bring your own food and drink. No bathrooms here. Parking for maybe a half dozen cars.

A small park. There really isn't a beach (no sand). Lots of seaweed and trash abound. There is very limited parking. No restrooms. No benches.

Very nice neighborhood park. Good place to catch a sunset.

Nice to relax, read a book or even 🐠 fish

It's a triumph that this land was saved from development. Florida rosemary scrub is rare generally and otherwise nonexistent in Pinellas after decades of overdevelopment. This preserve has a good amount of walking paths, although the scrub has been fenced off to protect it, but even so you'll be able to see a great deal of rare and unique life that you'll likely see no where else for miles and miles. The SW portion of the property is abandoned citrus groves, so there are quite a lot of invasives, but clearly the city has plans to restore this portion as well as expand their trail system.

Beautiful place to enjoy nature. When I arrived there were 2 red shoulder hawks in a tree next to the parking lot. They flew away before I could get my camera ready. Still a work in progress but definitely a gem for Dunedin.

A very unique habitat that has to be behind fences to be protected. I would like to explore but I can't because there is a high risk that I harm what I like. So it's more like going to a museum than going to a preserve with fences that protect the habitat from people like me.

A brand-new park with about 1 mile of walking trails. They plan to expand it which is nice. Actually saw an old man driving a car through there telling me it was okay 😂 no sign said no car and he was right

I have visited here many times and it is such a local beauty that was saved by the Dunedin community. Can't wait to see the next additions when they come to pass. This area houses so much to see that you can't see anywhere else in Pinellas County.

Just opened February 25, 2023. Currently approximately .5 miles of trails. Pressed sand trails with lime rock. Main entrance on Virginia Avenue with Two other pedestrian trail heads on keene. A few benches. Very cool park with reindeer moss, rare rosemary shrubs and prickly pear cactus. This is one to watch and visit as it blooms into a gorgeous park with over 100 acres including Jerry lake!

I'm happy the city took action to purchase this property, after the last remaining Douglas owner died in 2019. I remember just 30 some years ago how my hometown Oldsmar used to look, and it kills me to see it now. I can only imagine how Gladys felt. At least now her land and legacy will last forever.

Nice park. They have a little dock that you can walk out to no sunshade though unfortunately.

Great park with great views and plenty of places to have a picnic, learn more about local veterans who live or have lived in the area. There are bathrooms on site and a center gazebo.

This is a beautiful park to represent our "heroes". It's a great place to sit and think about the many who fought for our freedom. This waterfront park is so special and meaningful to everyone in the area. It's located on E Shore Dr in Oldsmar and has pavilions, benches and names of local veterans with their ranks and dates of service. It was a humbling experience seeing so many friends and family members listed from the different military forces. It's a great place to visit and show your respect for those who have served.

we enjoyed going there and sit peacefully in front of the water. there was a few people walking around and enjoying the beautiful peace in front of the water as you can see. it's always good to take a break and relax in a place like this. we loved this park.

Peaceful and clean. The most beautiful mulberry that I have ever seen 💖💖💖

This park is very close by. Quiet park to sit and just watch the world go by for a bit. Quiet & clean.

Stopped by to do a sunset walk! I use to go here 15 years ago and use the workout machines before going into the Marine Corps! I use to ride my bike here too!

As a United States Marine Corps Veteran, I truly value how Veterans Memorial Park in Oldsmar, Florida recognizes those who have served. This community park is spacious, clean, and very well maintained, with picnic areas, restrooms, and an open-air workout area with equipment. Located right on Tampa Bay, it offers beautiful water views and is one of the best places in Oldsmar to watch the sunset. What makes this park stand out is the community connection—it not only honors Veterans but also hosts events for Veterans and the local community throughout the year. A peaceful, respectful, and family-friendly spot that’s a real treasure for Oldsmar.

Small but pretty park....right to the water. Nice for sunset watching. Close to Pinellas trail.

Small park, but it’s intended use is fulfilling. It’s the perfect sunset spot and is super calm and quiet with the ocean sounds.

Small park that’s perfect to watch the sunset from.

It is very simple...a narrow green strip between millions dollar condos...but it is good that the city maintained access to the water at this little park. There is a small parking lot. There is a bench or two facing the water...so you can enjoy the sunset from here . This park is very small, but it is great that we still have it. Thank you Dunedin.

Lovely little linear park nestled between two residential buildings that gets you right up to the gulf waters and has a great wide view south down to Clearwater and north up to the Dunedin causeway with all the sand bar islands in between.

Great park, no restroom just 2 bench. And a great view.

Very cute and private. Just wish there were more signs to find it. And more places to park. But it was very peaceful!

Purple heart ceremony. August 7, 2018. Wonderful and heartwarming ceremony honoring U.S. Veterans and Purple Heart recipients.

Nice monument for purple heart recipients

Very small but beautiful next to ice cream store

Nice place to walk
