The community's first park, the Goett Family Park, is under construction and is set to open before the end of the year. The 5-acre park will contain a playground, basketball and sand volleyball courts, a soccer field, a shade structure with picnic tables, a barbecue area, and benches.

Also under construction is the 9-acre Linear Park Paseo. This green space will contain a tree-lined path for walking, biking and jogging, and is part of a trail system planned to link neighborhoods and other amenities throughout the community.

The Southern Highlands master plan calls for more than 50 acres of parks.
