A small 2.3-acre park on Highland Ave with a slide, swingset, and picnic tables on a flat field banked by a hill on one side. It's also known simply as Highland Park; other sources tie it to the Christopher R. Porter Memorial Park name at the same address.

Shade, does the surface get hot?
Spruce trees shade the middle of the park, but the surface is grass and woodchips rather than rubber, so it stays cool underfoot even without shade.
Can I bring my dog to Highland Playground?
