Speed down the water slides and cool off at Hidden Creek AquaPark. Stop and smell the
flowers at Heller Nature Center. Stretch your body and awaken your mind with sunrise yoga
at Rosewood Beach. The Park District of Highland Park is home to beautiful natural areas,

aesthetic and educational value that is an integral part of the historical, cultural and natural
resources of the community. It's time for fun in the sun--the possibilities are endless!
