Confirmed from Highlander 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.
Public space with tennis courts, a playground, a pool, a basketball court, and picnic areas, plus a community center.

Love this park. Has open area dog park, disc golf, lots of areas for picnics and rentable shelters. Plus a playground in the shade. Nature center. Has trails and walking decks above the ground. Lots of beautiful nature everywhere, even flamingos.
