In the early 90’s, the Nanuet community raised more than $60,000 to build the first Highview Community Playground — a wooden structure that became known fondly to as the “the Wooden Park” or “Castle Playground” — at Church Street and Highview Avenue.

After 20 years of happy swinging, sliding, and bouncing, the structure was dubbed unsafe and the playground was demolished in 2010. In 2011, a committee of volunteers were formed and the Castle themed playground was replaced with a plastic playground replicating the original design.The park was completed in 2011.
