Highlands Park: The Park Experience

About The Park

9-acre Highlands Park is located next to one of Concord's most historic schools, just off the north side across Pine Hollow Road from Pennsylvania Boulevard and Louisiana Drive. This park has rolling terrain with trees that meander throughout it making for scenic views as well an assortment of children's play areas including two separate toddler zones complete with sandboxes. There are also ball fields where you can sit on the swings overlooking beautiful Lake Minnewaska while awaiting your coffee break during these summer months. If kids get restless after all this time spent outside they'll be happy to know there are two huge playgrounds too, perfect spots. The park is heavily used during the day by residents and also has a small shed that can be rented for different types of events. It's an ideal spot to hold picnics, birthday parties, or even weddings.
