Confirmed from Highland Family 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.
Massive park featuring a zip line, climbing equipment, slides and a playground.

“Has all the equipment and amenities you’d expect from a modern well maintained city park.”
“Plus, as a parent, there are plenty of benches and areas to sit in the shade or in the sun while your kid entertains themselves.”
“This is an absolutely wonderful all abilities playground and a great park for pickleball/tennis, scootering, skating, outdoor parties, and basketball.”
Best park in the Highland area. This park is pretty huge with lots of elevation changes. Tons of different kinds of toys and features that entertain a wide variety of age groups. Plus, as a parent, there are plenty of benches and areas to sit in the shade or in the sun while your kid entertains themselves.
I recently visited Highland Family Park and it’s easily one of the best parks in the area, especially for families. The all-abilities design really stands out, everything is thoughtfully built so kids of different ages and mobility levels can play together.
My kids said that this was the best park they've ever been to. It's huge and there are so many things. Lots of slides, swings, things to climb on, spinning things. There's things for toddlers/little kids and big kids. There is also a lot of accessibility features.
This it's a really fun place for toddler through school ago children. There are a variety of colorful things for kids to play on and a few benches for tired parents. We had a 2 year old with us and she had a blast playing. There is some shade and grassy areas also.
