Confirmed from Holiday 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.
Residential park featuring clean lawns and a creek that's good for kids and dogs.
What runners say about Holiday Highlands Park
“There's a Little Creek where the kids can play and the birds are swimming in it Very well kept.”
“Beautiful large grassy area swings big play structure for all ages.”
A nice little hidden gem! We come here for the water and the trails and all the little hidden swings!
It truly is a great little Park very nature like a great big playground for the kids restrooms handicap accessible lots of trails and and green grass everywhere for the dogs and it's a fabulous little Park it's really small but that it's just awesome
Very nice, quiet, tucked away in the neighborhood for residents and welcoming visitors. It's definitely one of our favorite parks, dog friendly with nice trails for walking as well. Small areas for gathering and parties as well.
Love walking my dog down here. Nice playground for kids and an area of grass people let their dogs play off leash. Grass area is not fenced in for dogs though.
Trail conditions & character
“Bring string, a paperclip (or rubber band) and some lunchmeat/hot dogs and you can catch crawdads in the creek.”
“Lots of picnic tables and benches, great shade, big open grassy area (good for kite flying), a creek to explore, bathrooms, and a small race track for Hot Wheels cars.”
“Plus, the concrete car ramp adds a unique touch.”
