Confirmed from Dash Point Highlands Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Dash Point Highlands Park
“quiet, safe, clean, large grassy space, & nice playground equipment.”
“It's in a quiet neighborhood and though it is sparse on amenities it does have a new play area and a couple of tables nearby to watch your kids from.”
This park is close to AMAZING trails that are part of Dashpoint State Park. So you can dash in for a little easy hike then take the kids to this park to get more wiggles out! No bathroom/outhouse. Cute motorcycle and 911 car to ride on!
Small park with a playground and an entrance to the trails at dash point state park. Had a grass area behind the playground about half the size of a soccer field.
quiet, safe, clean, large grassy space, & nice playground equipment. not many cars driving by. people park their cars outside of the playground to hike the trails. there was also a little free library at the park :)
Love this park. The grassy field is huge!!! Good place to run out your little ones energy.
