Project Info
The 13-acre Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park is designed to facilitate community gathering, encourage social interaction, and offer a diverse and unique blend of recreational amenities for the local community. The central promenade functions as an extension of the village center and draws visitors into the park. An entry garden, discovery play garden, parkour area, children’s play areas, and informal turf picnic area are located in the heart of the park.
A 17,000-square-foot recreation center located on the southwestern edge of the central promenade offers opportunities for athletic and community-based functions in the central gymnasium, separate multi-purpose building, and large flexible outdoor courtyard.
The promenade opens to a five-acre multi-purpose turf field anchored on the north by a signature shade structure and stage, and a full size softball field on the south. A 1/2 mile loop pathway connects the amenities around the field and provides access to the dog park and pump track on the southern edge of the park. The park embraces the walkable nature of the community and utilizes joint-use parking at the adjacent school sites to minimize the need for on-site parking.
