Facility Availability
Use the calendar below to see which facilities are booked and which might be available. Note that seasonal facilities are not bookable over the winter, and no facilities are bookable more than 2 years in advance. These calendars are updated about once a week (usually Friday mornings), so it is possible that a facility that appears available has been recently booked. If you request a reservation or a quote, Highland staff will be able to confirm if the dates you are interested in are in fact available. More detailed availability calendars for all our facilities are viewable here.
Love having a safe, fun place to come, with plenty of room for our kids to play and adults to connect, too.
