California records 4 inspection visits to HIGHLANDS RECREATION CENTER, the most recent on April 28, 2026 and the earliest on record September 28, 2022.

What California does not publish here

The state publishes when licensing staff visited, not what they found. We do not hold California’s inspection findings, so nothing on this page tells you whether a visit resulted in a citation. A visit count is a measure of licensing activity, and a facility visited more often is not for that reason a worse one. Read the findings in California’s own facility search.
