Two pocket parks with open fields

Highland Park is home to a few pocket parks. Laura’s Park and Vinewood Park share similar amenities, such as a playground and open fields. Just outside the neighborhood, Lake Minnequa Veteran’s Memorial Park stretches 270 acres. “Lake Minnequa has a grand history; it used to be an old country club back in the days when the steel mills were robust,” Beaupre says. “It’s not as busy as you expect, but people enjoy the trails and recreation there.” People also take advantage of the athletic turf field and four basketball courts. The trails stretch 2.5 miles and often have hikers, bikers and joggers.
