Highland Park

My kids and I love it here, especially in the colder months! It's like stepping into a different, calm, magical world! Stunning plants, flowers, awesome turtles, tortoises, we adore the family of ducks that come back in the courtyard in Spring too! Absolutely wonderful here and cheap!

Gorgeous park any time of the year! It has plenty of walking trails, benches and picnic tables.

Didn't know what to expect,however I dis enjoy the walk. I met a woman spinning yarn which was very interesting to watch, she let me touch the yarn before spinning and it was so soft. The views from the park were astonishing,the park was very clean with many benches to.sit along the way. A beautiful place. Don't forget to visit the conservatory it's well worth. it.

My mother and I attended the Rochester Lilac Festival there and walked around the park. It was absolutely beautiful! It has the most variety of lilacs we'd ever seen, and many other beautiful flowers and flowering trees! It's worth a trip to, especially in the spring!!! 💐

Highland Park in Rochester truly lives up to its reputation as an urban oasis. It's simply amazing! Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the park masterfully blends stunning natural landscapes with peaceful serenity. Wander through meandering paths under mature, towering trees, discover hidden gardens bursting with color, and find countless quiet benches perfect for reflection or reading. The air feels fresher here, filled with birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves. While world-famous for its spectacular Lilac Festival in spring, the park offers breathtaking beauty year-round – vibrant magnolias, serene ponds, vibrant fall foliage, and peaceful winter vistas. It’s impeccably maintained yet feels wonderfully wild, providing a vital escape from city bustle without leaving Rochester. Whether seeking a vigorous walk, a quiet picnic spot, or simply a moment of calm surrounded by nature, Highland Park delivers an exceptional, restorative experience. A genuine treasure!
