Highland Park Community Center

It has great neighborhood activities but parking can be a challenge in at a busy intersection

The space is welcoming and the staff is very helpful. My granddaughter has been coming here with me since she was a toddler and she is now in second grade. They have great kids’ programming we especially enjoy Ms. Rose. The kids section is well laid out and full of activities. I often request books online and they are ready to be picked up within a couple days even if they cone from a different branch. Great asset to the neighborhood

I went into the library hoping to check out a book and relax peacefully with my fellow friend andrea. I was excited because andrea is diagnosed with cancer stage 3 and doesn’t have much longer to live so any time i get to spend with her is a blessing . We were having fun and talking like friends do until an old lady came up behind me and told me to “please scoot my chair backwards” and i said oh yes sorry and she proceeded to grab my chair and push it forwards so hard making me almost fall off it and walked away calling us annoying brats with cheese breath. That same lady then filed a complaint about us over “destruction of property” when we didn’t do anything of that sort. The manager then proceeded to have a long and rude conversation with us and wouldn’t let us explain what went actually happened and threatened to get our school and parents involved. I enjoy coming to the library a lot and the incredibly rude manager and customers there ruined it for us. I hope you can fix this situation.

This was a great discovery on an impromptu morning with my two year old! The playground is perfectly suited for a range of ages and the open space lets little ones run free with zero danger from City traffic. And the library is adorable! I love that this is a free resource with welcoming staff and well maintained grounds. Highly recommend!

Great place to bring the kids to burn energy! It looks pretty clean inside. Place really big but always packed on Saturdays and Sundays. I would recommend for children ages 2-8 the older kids tend to not pay attention to the little ones so parents like me that don't want my 2 year old to get ran down tend to just stick really close to little one while he runs around having fun 😂. All in all nice place and it's $7 bucks per kid and free for adults.
