Read more about this location
Highland Park now includes an all-inclusive playground area created to bring more accessible play closer to families on that side of Meridian. Local reporting confirms the new equipment was donated for children with special needs, and the larger park already offers strong family support amenities including restrooms, picnic pavilions, a splash pad, and other attractions. This is a useful option for families who want a more neighborhood-oriented accessible play stop instead of traveling across town. Because public feature details are still limited, families with very specific access needs may want to treat this as a promising but lightly documented option.
