About Highlands Park

Fitness Opportunities
For those looking to stay active, the park's jogging path winds through the grounds, offering a scenic route for your daily exercise. If you're training for a marathon or just enjoying a leisurely stroll, the paved paths connect all areas of the park while providing a pleasant walking experience.
Landscape Features
The park's rolling turfed terrain creates a natural, relaxing atmosphere that sets it apart from flatter, more manicured spaces. Scattered trees provide welcome patches of shade on sunny days and add to the park's visual appeal. The open grassy areas aren't just great for picnics - they're also well-suited for dogs to run and play, making Highlands a hit with the four-legged crowd too.
Community Atmosphere
There's something special about this quiet neighborhood park that makes it a natural gathering place. Its location near Clayton means it's accessible to folks from surrounding areas, yet it maintains a peaceful vibe that offers a nice break from the usual hustle and bustle. It's the kind of place where you might go for a quick walk but end up staying for hours, soaking in the tranquility.
