Cobbs Hill Park

Super place, especially in the early 🌄 morning. There's a .69 loop sidewalk about the Reservoir at the top of hill. Great for walking or running. Parking on the road next to the sidewalk and never crowded early in the morning. Excellent views of the city, especially at sunrise and sunset. Bring water and consider bites a 5-minute drive away on Park Ave. Options include Pearson's and Cafe Sasse (coffee places) on Somerton St. And the Baker Place on Park ( Only explaining the lay of the land at the top of the hill for running or walking 🚶‍♂️or sightseeing ).

Love this park, it's always so beautiful. The reservoir is so cool, and I love seeing the basketball court and calesthenics full of people in the spring, and the baseball beer leagues in the fields. My kids used to love going there to feed the ducks at the pond off the Culver Rd entrance, and we have just always loved being over this way during the lilac festival and other outdoor festivals etc. My favorite park in Rochester!

Absolutely beautiful! Hiking trails, baseball, basketball, lit tennis courts, playground, dog parks, and so much more. There's at least 1 EV charger that I saw. The reservoir area is a great walk/run too! We had a great hike!

It's a gorgeous park with lots of trails, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, a walking loop around the fresh water reservoir (.69 miles a lap and a wonderful spot to walk your dog), and paths for bicycling if you wish. It has incredibly beautiful panoramic views of the City of Rochester and I would highly recommend visiting, even if you only have a few minutes. If you want to park by the baseball diamonds or tennis courts, or hike the hill to the reservoir, the Culver/Norris entrance is the one for you. There is street parking was well as a generous parking lot near the tennis courts you can walk around to access the path to the top of the hill for the walking loop. If you don't want to make the hill trek, the park entrance from Highland/Monroe is the one for you. There is a driving path all the way to the top, with lots of available parking. There are some handicapped spaces next to the radio tower building at the top of the hill and it's a short easy walk to the benches to rest and soak in the views of the city. I can't say enough about how beautiful those views are; and it's a perfect spot for a picnic or spontaneous announcement. ☺️ Don't forget to check out the architecture on the Cobbs Hill Water Works building at the top of the stairs. Built in 1908, it has lion sculpture heads, Greek key patterns carved into the stone, and other little architecture presents that show the beauty of the era.

I absolutely love walking my dog here. The views are amazing, and I get options. If I just want to walk the paved path around the reservoir, I can, but if I want to challenge myself, I can do the hill or walk in the grass to let my dog enjoy sniffing around.
