When approaching Highland Park from North Highland Avenue you're greeted by the entry garden and fountain, which reminds me of something you'd likely see in Europe. The Victorian-style entrance with well-maintained gardens draws you in and from there you forget that you're only a few miles from downtown. Walk a bit further and you'll begin to see all that the park has to offer. You'll find that the park boasts a couple playgrounds, some swimming pools, athletic courts, trails - both flat and hilly, paths along the reservoir and more. So, get out and explore!
