Highlands County Park — Attraction in Boulder Creek

A Shady Place to Play, Swim, Catch Fish and crayfish - Highlands County Park The feature of this park is not the playground, but the skate park(the left side of the parking lot (high school direction) and the river. The ideal place to play in the water to escape the heat in summer!

Parking lot: one big (next to skate park) and one small (Highlands Park Senior Center), the parking lot of senior center is shaded and cooler in the afternoon.

Bathroom: one big (located between highlands house and highlands senior center), very clean with washing facilities. The small one (located next to the playground, a mobile toilet), can't wash hands, and smells. It is recommended to use the toilet close to the large parking lot

Recommendation: small waterfalls (see Figure 1-4), flat beaches (see Figure 5-6)

Recommended reason/activity There is a natural deep pool along upstream of the small waterfall. The water reaches the adult's waist, which is ideal place for swimming. The water downstream of the small waterfall is shallow, with many large and small stones, and the water is very clear, which is very suitable for children to play. There is an entrance on the left side of the playground (opposite to the small waterfall) to the flat beach, turn left at the first fork, and continue along the middle road when you see the three forks, and you will reach the upstream flat. There is a lot of sediment, and there are a few of small crayfish.

Tips: The trail leading to the river is short, and it is recommended to wear sandals 2.It is almost covered by the shade of trees on the way, so don't worry about exposure to the sun. After 4 pm, the riverside is cooler. We haven't seen a mosquito in the afternoon, you can bring anti-mosquito spray if you are worried. Those who like to play in the water bring a small bucket and a small fishing net. Today, We caught a few small fish here and saw 2 crayfish. All set free when we left There are many people at the small waterfall on weekends It seems to be no fish and no crayfish in the downstream of the small waterfall. Beware of the flat big stones in the water, which are slippery. There is free parking, roller skating, water play, and a...

This park has pretty much everything you could want for a fun day at the park. They have massive fields at the top level for soccer, football, running around or playing with your dog, including baseball diamonds. There is a skatepark up top also, a community center, and plenty of parking. The community center used to have a pool back in the day but it is gone now :( filled in...

Once at the bottom level, there is a nice play structure, tennis courts, a large bbq section, trails for hiking down to the river, and a separate section for kids swings. The overall grounds for this park are very large but split on two levels because of the hill, and there are stairs you can walk down or you can walk down the hill. I have been coming to this park since probably 1990, it has had several upgrades since then and is a very safe place to...
