We would like to thank the community, performance groups and staff of Highlands Hammock State Park who made our Music in the Park series of seven concerts for the 2008-2009 season so successful. Our citizen support organization known as Friends of Highlands Hammock State Park actively seeks to improve our beautiful park and improve enjoyment of its facilities for the general public.
