The Highland Park Community Center is not part of the city’s Highland Park as the name would suggest. It is part of Hillcrest Park and named for the Highland Park neighborhood in St Paul and the Highland Park Library, with which it shares space. Families will find an outdoor playground and an expanded children’s area inside the library, a story time room, community theater space, gym, a reading garden and public art. This community center offers Tot Times and Open Gym for kids and families. Adults can join the fitness center at this location.
Sledding at Highland Park Community Center
The community center has a steep slope sledding hill recommended by the parks department. Sledding at St. Paul Parks is free. The city offers suggestions for safe sledding on its sledding hills web page.
Play Area improvements
This playground was updated in 2018 and 2019. The new play equipment consists of a tot lot and a climbing structures for for bigger kids, a swing set and a spin ball. The playground has a sand floor. Families will also find a nearby reading garden and a couple soccer and softball fields.
