The Local Lookout

Highland Park

This month’s Local Lookout details one of my favorite parks- Highland Park in Coral Canyon. This Washington City public park is located in the Coral Canyon neighborhood and offers some of the best 360 degree views in town.

Featuring 2 large grassed areas and a few different pavilions, this is an ideal place to hold an event like a family reunion BBQ.  For the young kids or for the young at heart, the park has a couple of different playground areas with all the fun stuff like swings and slides.

The park is a great starting and stopping point for miles of paved trails around the ridge and down into the main part of the Coral Canyon neighborhood. It is also a great place to access Church Rocks Trail on the other side of 1-15 in the Red Desert Reserve, an area which will undoubtedly get featured on another Local Lookout.

My favorite thing about the park is the views. From here, you can see Pine Valley Mountain, Kolob Canyon, Zion, Sand Hollow, Utah Hill and the city of St George and Washington. Come for a picnic, a date, to throw around the Frisbee, to play with the kids, to take a nap in the park, or to take a hike in the Red Desert Reserve. This is a FANTASTIC park and the price is right.

Call or email me for more info or directions to the park and make sure to go out and enjoy the beautiful weather that we are in store for the next 10 days!

Best, Dave :)
