Confirmed from 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.
Dog-friendly place featuring a playground, a grassy area and barbecue grills.
What runners say about Highlands Park
“Good clean Park with barbecue area and playgrounds for the kids swings too.”
“Once again, another park that does not have doggy baggies, so BYOBaggies for your dog, if you plan on walking them.”
Multiple play areas to allow children of different ages to explore. Very cool tall spiral slide, climbing tower, smaller straight slide, lots of room to run, picnic tables, grass area to roll on, play ball or frisbee, then a smaller playground with play structure, slide & bucket swings for smaller kids.
Once again, another park that does not have doggy baggies, so BYOBaggies for your dog, if you plan on walking them. There is not water for the dogs to drink either.
Our favorite neighborhood park, great playground and lots of grass area to run around for kids and dogs!
