by Randy Woods 16 Aug '22

One of our upcoming guests is inquiring about where the nearest pickle ball courts are. And whether the Highland Park tennis courts are lined for pickle ball? All I can do is Google which I’ve done. Appreciate any input.

firing range noise in Highland Park
by Elizabeth Tambellini 16 Aug '22

16 Aug '22

Hello,I've been hearing gun fire from the shooting range for 2 days now. This started yesterday afternoon and didn't stop until close to dusk. The gun fire started back up this morning. Has anyone else noticed this? My dog is totally terrified of the sound. Was there a notice that was sent about this that I missed? Any information would be greatly appreciated.Thank you
