Highland Park

Highland Park is a residential borough in Middlesex County featuring tree-lined streets, established neighborhoods, and scattered local shops throughout the area. Several parks nearby provide green spaces, and the Raritan River runs along part of the community.

The borough was established as an independent municipality in 1905 when it separated from North Brunswick Township. This separation allowed the growing population to develop its own local governance structure.

The community here maintains strong neighborhood ties through regular local events and gatherings that define daily life. Residents participate actively in these shared occasions, which help create a sense of belonging throughout the borough.

The area serves as a convenient base for commuters traveling to New York City or Philadelphia via regional rail connections. Visitors can explore the parks and trails on foot, and local maps are available at community centers.

The community provides direct access to an expansive network of trails spanning several dozen kilometers that welcomes walkers of all fitness levels. This trail system connects multiple local parks and follows river banks and historic canal routes.
