Highland Dog Park
About the Park
Highland Dog Park features separate off-leash areas for large and small dogs with water access, seating, and shade from mature trees. The spacious gravel-and-dirt grounds support active play and socializing, though visitors frequently report glass shards in the substrate and dusty conditions, particularly after gravel refresh. Maintenance is inconsistent, and crowding can occur during peak times. Community attendance is generally strong with a mix of experienced and new dog parents.
