Higginbotham Park — Attraction in Claremont

Tucked away like nature’s best-kept secret, Higginbotham Park is where squirrels hold board meetings, birds throw concerts, and trees whisper secrets to the wind. If peace had a zip code, it’d be here. Shaded trails, a serene creek, and just enough open sky to remind you life’s bigger than your inbox.

Whether you're a weekend wanderer, a hammock enthusiast, or just need a break from life being life, this place delivers. Bring your dog, your journal, or just your overthinking brain—it’s all welcome here. You might even spot a turtle doing absolutely nothing... and somehow being a whole mood.

Perfect for quiet strolls, impromptu picnics, and those deep “main character” moments. Nature here doesn’t scream for attention—it just exists beautifully.

So take a breath. Slow down. Let the sounds of rustling leaves and babbling water remind you you’re still human, not just a Wi-Fi signal with legs.

Come relax, recharge, and reconnect with the earth (or at least get some cool squirrel footage for your feed).

Follow me for more hidden gems, chill spots, and a little sprinkle of outdoor magic. Nature’s not going anywhere... but you should be. Right here.

The playground itself has two songs for young kids (none for older kids), some bouncy riding toys, some sitting spinning cups, a sand area, lots of rocks to climb on, and a train to play in.

There is a walking path that is stroller friendly and a great way to get in some extra steps after the kids are done playing. We especially love walking down the trail and seeing the houses that have horses and goats.

Bathrooms are located near the playground. They are nothing spectacular but they are...

park patrol told us our emotional support dog was not allowed. She said Claremont doesn't allow any dogs in their parks .

I’ve been here so many years and I thought it’s the new regulation. But she said the rules have been for 20 years .

Can anyone tell if that’s true ?

I just called the city of Claremont park department and at first a girl told me dogs are allowed on the grass. But after 5 minutes , she said if the park rangers come and ask me to leave “ you should leave “

It makes me kind of confused .

I believe this to violate the ADA Act but I'm not a lawyer and her gun makes...
