Solana Highlands School Park in Carmel Valley San Diego

The Solana Highlands School Park is a quality park in the Carmel Valley community that goes to show the teamwork in our community with the school district and the city of San Diego. Located on the very peaceful and quiet corner of Bernwood Place and Long Run Drive this park has a safe and peaceful atmosphere, which is great for parent with kids. The eye engaging three-structure playground can be a haven for kids (and their parents). Equipped with a giant sand box, slides, swings, monkey bars, and a lot more.

There are several picnic areas, with their own charcoal grills, where one can organize events or just have a quality family outing. These picnic areas are scattered on a large green field where dogs and kids can be found running around. This park is a symbol of our great community and there are many other parks like it in Carmel Valley.

Name: Santiago Benito

School: Canyon Crest Academy

Dream: Santiago hopes to one day become a documentary film director and producer. He also hopes to write and make Hollywood films.

Interests: He enjoys reading almost as much as he enjoys writing; my favorite book is The Life of Pi by Yann Martel. Santiago have had an interest in the art of cinema ever since he could remember. From an early age, Santiago has been mesmerized by the beauty of the lines said and the actors on the big screen. While many kids have a hard time trying to figure out what they want to do after they get out of school, Santiago knew right off the bat that he wanted to be involved in the world of cinema somehow. Aside from that, he enjoys playing basketball and spending time with family and friends. In addition, Santiago is very interested in being involved in things much larger than himself. For example, he is a part of many non-profit organizations whose goals are to help people and communities all over the world (i.e. Japan, Africa, and the Untied States).
