Old Highlands Park (Assessed by Maria)

Old Highlands
26180 Parkside Drive

Although there is nothing outstanding about Old Highland Park, it is still a great local park. I always find myself frequently visiting Old Highlands park because I live nearby. This is a park that local residents can enjoy. If you live nearby, this is a very convenient park to visit. Because this park is catered to the residents who live nearby, there are no bathrooms. The lack of bathrooms and lighting is the only downside of this park. If you live near this park, great, otherwise it is just another typical park.
