Confirmed from Highland Heritage Regional 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.
92-acre park with 3+ miles of trails, 10 soccer/football fields & an off-leash area for dogs.
What runners say about Highland Heritage Regional Park
“Very large nice park with well maintained grass as well as restrooms, I was there during a soccer turniment so parking was an issue”
“beautiful area for everything you could want to do outside.”
Nice place 👍👌👌 visited on July 4th the fire works are really awesome.. 20 minutes continuation .. excited to see... Big trail to walk.... Nice place 👌
Such a beautiful park and area. Lots of parking. You can see the mountains in the background. There we're lots of soccer fields so the boys had a blast playing. Kids enjoyed the playground. Free entrance of course. Only complaint was the animal feces all over the grass.
big park with lots of room for everything. park, restrooms, soccer fields, bike trail, dog park, walking trails for miles. beautiful area for everything you could want to do outside. i’ve had picnics here but sometimes a bee will chase you from your spot. soccer games and practice all the time makes for community feel.
We play soccer here most weeks. The grass is in great shape. The playground is convenient and large enough to keep kids occupied. Parking can be hard at times depending on how many soccer games are being held.
