New Neighborhood Park in the Highlands Area

Update

Thanks to the many neighbors of Highlands area park who provided their input during the community engagement process. After working with community members to offer building-timeline and play-equipment options for the community to choose from, we received over 100 responses.

The building-timeline to receive the most votes results in the park's full completion in 2021.

The play equipment that received the most votes is Option #3 with towers, platforms, an Oodle swing, and a toddler play set. Click here to view survey results for the park's timeline and play equipment.

Construction of the Highlands area park is now anticipated to be completed in the summer of 2021. Consultants are currently developing the park's construction documents.
