Highlander Park events — Dunedin, FL

Discover the Beloved Highlander Park

The Highlander Park is more than a park — it's a community cornerstone that brings Dunedin together for recreation, relaxation, and memorable gatherings. From seasonal festivals to family-friendly gatherings, Highlander Park events create a welcoming atmosphere just minutes from downtown Dunedin.

Spanning approximately 70 acres, this is Dunedin’s second largest park and a versatile setting for outdoor fun. Anchored by the Dunedin Community Center, the site includes Highlander Pool, the Kiwanis Sprayground, three playgrounds, athletic fields, and picnic shelters — plus it’s adjacent to the Dunedin Fine Art Center for easy access to arts and culture.

Programming here revolves around community life — think local festivals, recreational events, and city-led celebrations. Kids splash the day away at the sprayground, lap swimmers hit the competition pool, and families spread out across shaded lawns and picnic tables between activities.

As an all-ages destination, Highlander Park pairs green space with an impressive aquatic complex, featuring a competition pool, activity pool, slides, lazy river, zero-depth entry area, and a therapy pool. It’s a one-stop spot for events, exercise, and downtime under the Florida sun.

Whether you’re planning a low-key afternoon or arriving for one of the many Highlander Park events, you’ll find ample amenities, easy parking, and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe that keeps locals and visitors coming back.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Highlander Park doesn’t have a fixed, reserved seating capacity — as a public park, seating is flexible with benches, picnic tables, shaded areas, and poolside loungers spread across the grounds. The open layout lets you choose your spot based on shade, proximity to amenities, and the type of activity or event you’re attending.

• Pool Deck Seating: Relax on loungers around the Highlander Pool complex, with easy access to the activity and competition pools, slides, and lazy river. Shaded areas fill quickly on hot days — arrive early to secure a comfortable spot.
• Picnic Shelters: Shaded picnic tables located throughout the park are ideal for families and groups, especially near playgrounds and restrooms. These are popular during festivals and park programs.
• Sprayground Benches: At the Kiwanis Sprayground, benches and nearby seating give parents and caregivers convenient views while kids play in the splash zones.
• Community Center Spaces: During indoor events or classes, the Dunedin Community Center provides comfortable seating in multi-purpose rooms and program areas.
• Open Lawns: For pop-up events and casual gatherings, bring a blanket or camp chair. Open green spaces let you set up near pathways, playgrounds, or under mature trees for shade.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Highlander Park

1920 Pinehurst Road

Dunedin, FL 34698

Located in the heart of Dunedin, the park sits approximately 23 miles west of Tampa, making it an easy drive for day trips and regional visitors.

• Parking: Free on-site parking is available, with lots adjacent to the Dunedin Community Center and Highlander Pool. Overflow parking is opened for larger events.
• Public Transit: Accessible via Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) bus routes.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and drop-off zones are available at the main entrance on Pinehurst Road.

Arrival Recommendations

To make the most of your visit, plan to arrive 30–60 minutes before scheduled activities or pool opening times. This window helps you secure convenient parking, claim shaded seating at the pool or picnic areas, and check in at the community center if you’re attending a program.

Keep Florida’s weather in mind — summer can bring heat, humidity, and frequent afternoon thunderstorms. For Highlander Park events, pack sunscreen, a hat, and a reusable water bottle, and consider a light rain jacket or umbrella if the forecast calls for pop-up showers.

Because the park covers about 70 acres, expect a bit of walking between amenities like the community center, playgrounds, sprayground, and pool complex. The terrain is mostly flat, so it’s easygoing for families and groups, but comfortable footwear will make your day smoother, especially if you’re moving between activities.

Venue Navigation

Highlander Park’s layout is intuitive and family-friendly, with the Dunedin Community Center and Highlander Pool serving as central anchors. You’ll find three playgrounds, athletic fields, and picnic shelters distributed across the grounds, plus restrooms and shaded seating near high-traffic areas.

On event days, look for wayfinding around the community center and pool entrances to locate concessions, vending machines, and seating areas. The Kiwanis Sprayground is a highlight for kids, while nearby benches and picnic tables give adults a comfortable vantage point. ATMs are available at the community center (check availability). Since there’s a bit of distance between amenities, plan meet-up points with your group and wear comfortable shoes.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: No formal restrictions for general park use; the aquatic complex may have bag size limits — check at the pool entrance for the most current guidelines.
• Prohibited Items: Alcohol, smoking, glass containers, open flames/grills (except in designated areas), and weapons.
• Re-entry Policy: Re-entry is allowed — Highlander Park is a public park.
• Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.
• Camera Policy: Personal photography is allowed; restrictions may apply during private or reserved events.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• For pool days, pack swimwear, towels, and reef-safe sunscreen for the aquatic complex.
• During hot, humid months, prioritize shaded seating and hydrate frequently.

Pre-Event Planning

Plan your day around the park’s standout amenities to maximize your experience. Families can pair playground time with a session at the Kiwanis Sprayground, then cool off in the Highlander Pool’s zero-depth entry or lazy river. If you’re attending a program, the Dunedin Community Center provides convenient indoor spaces and restrooms between activities.

For a culture-meets-nature itinerary, stroll next door to the Dunedin Fine Art Center for exhibits or classes before or after your time in the park. Cap your evening with sunset views at nearby Edgewater Park, or take a relaxed ride along the Pinellas Trail to explore Dunedin’s scenic corridors.

Coordinating with a group? Choose a picnic shelter near the playgrounds or community center as your home base. If you’re attending one of the larger Highlander Park events, arrive early to secure parking and a shaded table, and share a drop pin at the main entrance on Pinehurst Road so everyone can find the meeting spot easily.

Accessibility

Highlander Park is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available near the Dunedin Community Center and Highlander Pool entrance. Ramps at the community center and pool provide accessible entry, and there are accessible options at some picnic tables and within pool areas.

If you need assistance selecting accessible seating or planning your visit around mobility needs, contact Ticket Purchase for personalized support before purchasing.

Dining Options

Inside the venue, you’ll find concessions at the Highlander Pool (seasonal) and vending machines for quick snacks and drinks. It’s an easy way to refuel between swim sessions, playground time, or community center activities without leaving the park.

If you’re spending the day, consider packing a picnic — shaded shelters and open lawns make it simple to spread out and enjoy a meal between activities.
