Tucked just north of Skinner Street along the scenic Pinellas Trail, Weaver Park (officially Josiah Cephas Weaver Park) offers a peaceful and playful waterfront escape in Dunedin Fl
Here’s why it’s quickly becoming a local and visitor favorite:
The park’s nature-inspired playground, a gift from the Dunedin Youth Guild, delights youngsters with designs resembling butterflies, ant hills, caterpillars, giant bird eggs, and even tree-like structures
. It’s fully ADA‑accessible, welcoming children of all abilities to dream and climb
Kiwanis Fit Zone – Outdoor Gym
On the park’s eastern side lies the Kiwanis Fit Zone, featuring 11 hydraulic exercise units designed for every fitness level. Thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Dunedin and the Florida Department of Health–Pinellas County, these free-to-use stations target areas like biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, back, and core. Some are wheelchair-adapted
Pier & Pavilions – Perfect for Relaxation
Steps from the playground, a long pier stretches into the Intracoastal—a wonderful spot for sunset strolls, relaxing, and fishing. Pier is currently out of commission due to hurricane damage in 2024, but will be undergoing repairs and reopening
Two covered pavilions (plus a gazebo) provide ideal picnic or party spaces, available to rent through Dunedin Parks & Recreation
