Highland Recreation Complex - Largo (FL)

5 /5 Maryann Spearman: Lets talk about the walking trails just North of the Highland Complex. There are several walking trails lined with shell and asphalt. The asphalt trails circle the lake where you can find lots of waterfowl such as rosette spoonbill, mallard ducks , swamp hens and even turtles!! 75% shade depending on the time of day.

4 /5 Melanie M: You can’t beat the price of $2/child for itty bitty play aka toddler time, each morning or $6/child rest of day. The space as a whole is clean, bright, padded and gated in perfect to spend a couple hrs. Socks are a must for climbers and caregivers who want to play aside. Snacks and drinks are allowed outside the gate, on occasion you’ll see a staff member overseeing the area. I recommend visiting Play World(inside Highland Rec center) to burn off their little energy.

5 /5 KidThingsToDoInTampaBay: We LOVE Highland Rec! Their toddler time at their indoor Playworld is the best. The playground outside is great for climbers. Their pool is amazing for kids.

5 /5 Angelica Rodriguez: Highland Rec has a great gym facility and is way more affordable than any local gym or YMCA. They have a good variety of exercise machines as well as free weights and treadmills/bikes. There have been times when some of the equipment breaks, and it’s out of commission for a while but it got fixed or replaced after a few weeks. Depending on the time of day it can get a little busy, sometimes I have to switch my routine a little bit while someone else uses the equipment but for the most part it hasn’t been a huge issue. I really like the gym facilities and happy to be saving so much money I would otherwise spend on a gym membership.

2 /5 may anderson: On Friday, Nov. 7th as I begun my workout I was horrified to see one of the basketball courts set up as a military zone with inflatable "bio hazard" items and an inflatable minature camouflaged tank! I was informed it was Nerf Ball night for the kids so their folks could have a Parents Night Out. Not long afterwards about 2 dozen kids were running around shooting each other with Nerf guns. This teaches children that shooting at people with guns is ok and tolerated; just a normal part of our society. It also tells them that the use of the military is an everday event- you know like Trump invading our cities with military force! Why not use Disney or cartoon characters and play a game of tag so as not to reinforce violence in our nation?
