It was reimagined almost 10 years ago in 2014. There is free street parking available for the park and you could also park in the Bauer Family Center lot, which it sits behind. The park is not very big and has a decent full basketball court, a shelter with picnic tables under it, and a a couple of playgrounds. There is fitness equipment there, but it looks to be in fair condition, and thats generous. There are two playground areas here. They are both on the rubbery mat surface that are popping up at most new parks. There is an area for smaller kids that is fenced in and has a jungle gym with a tiny bridge, and some slides. There is also a low hanging swing there and a metal bench for caregivers to sit and watch the littles play. The other playground area, for bigger kids, has a bank of traditional/toddler swings. This area features a monstrous jungle gym contraption over there. As well as a stand up see-saw, and seat spinners. The equipment seems relatively new and is in great repair. The park has a hole seems to be well maintained and was clean. There is a fence around the entire park's perimeter. Other park amenities include a shower, which I found random, a glider swing, a share a book kiosk, and some benches (the Buddy Bench). This is not a destination park, but is a very nice community park that is nestled in a small neighborhood.

There are distinct playgrounds for different age groups and on the older kid side, there is a basketball court too. Parking is limited to street parking for the park visitors, but there is a lot for the Bauer Family Center if visiting both places. I was able to street park on Fountain St without any problems. There is also a small shelter area for shade since the trees on the property are on the perimeter and don't offer much shade to the playground. Note that the Bauer and other neighborhood buildings have murals that add fun backdrops to the playgrounds. Review #1086

Highland Park is a huge community park in Kokomo with lots of green space, recreational spaces and…read morea historic covered bridge. What I like best about the park are the mature trees that provide lots of shade. Some of the trees are over 400 years old. There is a huge colorful playground with climbing structures, swings and slides. The base is a mix of mulch and soft matting. Benches line the area for parents to sit and watch kids . (The equipment could use a good cleaning from the trees.) There are two ball diamonds with bleachers within the park. A beautiful stream that meanders through the park attracts fisherman. Tree-covered picnic areas are scattered along the creek. The Vermont Covered Bridge spans the creek and is open to pedestrian traffic. There are restroom facilities near the playground. There are several parking areas throughout the park and you can drive along the creek. Highland Park is a great place to bring the family.

There is parking right next to these attractions and easy access for those who need it. They were both behind glass so the glare made it hard to see both, but they were amusing. Right next to the display was a playground suitable for all ages. The slide is a bit high, and it seemed old, but in good condition. There are also covered picnic tables in the area. Down the ways a bit in the park is a red covered bridge that was fun to walk through and take some photos with. Lastly, there is a large pavilion stage area what was having an orchestra concert, free to attend, and the audience was partially shaded with some picnic tables in the back as well.

Slides, swings, forts, a pirate ship fort, and a smaller playground for littler kids? Yes! How about a shelter and picnic area? You got it! There's even a creek with a large are for wildflowers and a more natural area of the park if you feel like getting back to nature. The park is close to downtown, so it is accessible. The park was in good condition too! Monon may not be a big city, but it has a big time park for its residents. Review #2751

The folks who live there have a fairly new park that has a combination of sports and playground equipment for kids to use. There is a nice parking lot on the southwest corner. To the east is a fair sized shelter with a picnic table and a grill. Down the hill to the north are a basketball court and a baseball field. Between the basketball and the parking lot is a bright and unique playground. There are lots of large animal shapes and even a few dinosaurs for kids to climb on. The rest of the equipment serves the same function of lots of other playground equipment in other parks, but these pieces look unique and might make for a little bit more excitement from kids given the chance to play here. The negative is that there is very limited shade outside of the shelter probably due to the park being so new. Maybe they should plant a few trees around the playground to solve that problem down the road. Review #1070

In addition to the playground, there are basketball courts, a baseball field to the north and a football field to the south. The park was clean and in good condition. This is the park to choose if you are visiting Rochester. Review #3076

Looking at the pictures from a few years back, I had high expectations for this park. But things…read morehave changed. First, there is no assigned parking for visitors. I thought there was a gravel lot on site, but the curb at the edge of the road is not designed to access it. The row of trees that the previous review mentioned seems to be gone. Now the playground is in full sun and the picnic table has been moved. The base for the playground is sprouting weeds and shows a lack of attention to the park. What happened? I was able to street park across the road since no parking is allowed along the park. There is a basketball court with two of the three backboards having rims attached. The swings, rocker, and slide fort seem to have held up pretty well, but the trash container had either been tipped over or was full and needed to be removed. It just wasn't nearly as inviting as it appeared in the earlier pictures. The lack of shade hindered anyone from the area using the park even though it was a warm and sunny day. This park looked great in early photos, but failed to live up to my expectations. Review #2740

In the center of the park is a baseball field, a shelter, and a second smaller playground. Parking is most available in the center part. The south of the park extends back passed a picnic area and some less visitor activity portions of the park. Apparently the park extends to the river, but I didn't see any paths, especially for vehicles, to take there. A solid addition to the city's park system. Review #2760
