Good job to them! There's only a couple spots that I can see it being a problem if you arent able to move around well

This place can get busy especially in the summer months, lots of hiking, playground, basketball and tennis courts. Over the years I've played in some adult softball leagues. Lots of fun . Parking can sometimes be chaotic, there's a few smaller lots along the street. Family friendly park with a few lodges to rent. They have a few events and festivals held here too.

Highland Park has too much stuff to mention, so I will mention the highlights and some other things. Also there's the neighborhood of the same name, but let's keep focused on the park itself of course. This can take a few days to see everything, and even then you can't get enough it seems. A lot is packed into this park and these things require their own Yelp entries. It has such much going on that you may wonder where's the actual park. There's a castle, a conservatory, and a reservoir among other things. Has a lot of history about it. It was created in 1888 and was designed by legendary landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. In 1892 the horticulturist John Dunbar started the famous lilac collection. This is the largest in the world. It hosts a festival every year in May. The reservoir is in the middle of the park and provides the city's water. Just north of here is the Conservatory. This place is only a few bucks to get in. On the west side is Warner Castle and The Sunken Garden. This is a popular place for wedding photos. Also there's the outdoor amphitheater the Highland Park Bowl. This has concerts and Shakespeare plays in summer. Free parking except for the festivals. The hours are 6 AM to 11 PM mostly. It covers more than 150 acres. Lots of plants other than lilacs. These include andromedas, azaleas, barberries, magnolias, mountain laurels, pansies, and rhododendrons. A few gardens and memorials. There's the AIDS Remembrance Garden, the Poet's Garden, the Victims' Rights Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and the Workers' Memorial among these. Go here and spend quite a lot of time looking around. It has something for pretty much anyone to see and enjoy. The conservatory costs money to get into, but the other stuff is free, so you can come and spend your time seeing whatever.

The park was designed by premier landscape architect Fredric Law Olmsted back in the early part of the last century. The festival itself had plenty of parking, food vendors and music at the main stage. This park would certainly be stunning all year round. I can't wait to see it agin in another season.

My Aunt & Uncle recommended this playground in Webster Park while we were in town visiting…read more I saw a sign saying that this playground was dedicated to a little boy named Jack who passed away in 2016 at the age of 3. (So sad) Jack's Place is such an awesome playground! The recommended age range is 5-12. There are so many neat aspects of it including some unique spinning "rides", numerous slides, swings, lots of places to climb and a rubberized digging zone. There are a few benches around for the adults. Our kiddos had so much fun here! Highly recommend!

Plenty of field and a couple of picnic tables. I don't recommend eating there based on our experience yesterday. We were invaded by what looked like fruit flies times 1,000. It literally rained bugs on us at the picnic table within one minute of sitting down so we booked it out of there and ate down the street another playground before returning. There are a few different activities for the kids, some the same as the location in Penfield such as the sand pit (here it's rubber), the big standup spinner, and the signature dinosaurs. Plenty to keep the kids happy. My kids loved it here!

Check out the town website for all of the community events hosted here as well as hours for the park and nature center.

A small children's garden, a playground, a labyrinth /maze and exercise stations are just some of the things of note. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax and take in the views. This park is ADA compliant.

It is one of those special places that just feel distinctively "Rochester" while also feeling like maybe you've found some type of escape portal. BEWARE the photographers taking picture of local juniors in high school! Senior pics in the wild! Anyways, the sunken garden is a little hidden and not on the main path of Highland park. You go beyond the highland bowl then BOOM. If you can find a quiet time to drop by, it is amazingly peaceful and serene. You can take a walk through the entire highland park neighborhood after, or enjoy a picnic on the grass near highland bowl. Overall, a great ROC institution that's great for photos but also maybe just put your phone away and enjoy the view!
