New Neighborhood Park in the Highlands Area

Parivar Park is now open!

We invite the neighbors of the park to enjoy the new play area and additional built amenities. Please help us grow the park's lawn by avoiding the fenced off areas where grass is growing, so park visitors can enjoy a lush lawn next season.

We'd like to thank the park's many neighbors who provided input throughout the design and development process.

The name Parivar Park was chosen through an intentional engagement effort with community partners to advance equity and honor our diverse community identities and experiences. Parivar (par/ee/vĀ/r) the word in Punjabi and Hindi for family to inspire the gathering of family and friends to play, share meals, and celebrate together. (Highlands area park was a temporary name meant to be updated during park construction.)
