New Trail Markers
Thank you to The Friends of the Hammock for their efforts in coordinating and implementing the installation of multiple trail markers throughout Hammock Park. This project is a great addition to the park, making it easier for visitors to navigate the trails. We encourage you to come and visit the park, go for a nice walk or bike ride, and connect with nature.

Stay on Designated Trails and Help Restore Native Vegetation
The City of Dunedin installed signs in Hammock Park to restore the native vegetation in disturbed areas. Unfortunately, some visitors have created unofficial paths. This foot traffic causes damage to the plants and displaces wildlife. Park visitors are asked to please reduce their footprint and stay on the designated trails only. Additionally, some of the designated trails have increased in width. The Parks Division is analyzing the width of the trails and will allow vegetation to grow back where feasible while still providing adequate space for people to walk, bike, and enjoy the park.

The corrugated signs that were previously installed at the disturbed areas have either gone missing, been found in the trash, or thrown into the bushes. It is imperative that park visitors understand the importance of preserving this unique habitat. Therefore, the City of Dunedin will be installing new, heavy-duty, permanent signs at the paths designated for restoration. We are also working with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office to monitor the trails.
