The spring lilac festival is when this park shines. Lots of rolling paved walking trails amongst…read morebeautiful flowers in full bloom. The magnolias we especially colorful this year. 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.

I have grown to love Highland Park and very thankful we have such a great park at our fingertips…read more My kids love the Lamberton Conservatory, Lilac Adventure Zone natural playground and the smaller playground across from the Conservatory. For myself, I have enjoyed the early morning walks, being in nature and enjoying in the wonderful flora of the park.

Aaaaah the Sunken Garden. I absolutely love that this has it's own Yelp page, first of all, because…read moreit DESERVES it! 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!

This is a beautiful place with a lot of history. Granted I was here at night but it was still…read moremagical. I can now understand why people come here for photos and etc. It's really pretty during all the seasons. It's part of Warner Castle I believe. It's a little hidden gem and if possible bring friends/family to check it out. It's a quiet spot in a busy area. I'll be back.. parking is basically street.

Love this trail. Perfect warm up before going to gym. Takes me about 38 minutes to complete when I…read moremix jogging and brisk walking. Trails are clear so it's easy to navigate. Ample amount of parking. Closes at 10pm which was a shocker to me. I love when I see the parents letting their kids play in the water. Not on their iPads and out in nature burning energy. 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

Near Rochester, right off a highway, Corbett's Glen is very easy to get to. It's located inside a…read morequaint neighborhood (expect to walk behind houses at points along the hike), and is very well-maintained. We started on the wood-area of the park, walking toward the creek and water falls at the Glen itself. The round trip of the hike was just a sliver more than 2 miles but it was an easy hike, with just two sections of up/down hill-climbing. Very beautiful and picturesque, with an amazing tunnel under the Amtrak tracks. Very much recommended for a short, morning hike if you don't mind the drive out.

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 .

I adore this 68-acre park. It is a beautiful oasis tucked on the town line of Henrietta and…read morePittsford. The walking trail and nature trail have very different environments to enjoy. The paths are lovingly maintained. I have visited in all seasons and conditions. Check out the town website for all of the community events hosted here as well as hours for the park and nature center. The historic home is open for tours and tells the story of the farm and family that owned it for 6 generations. There are restrooms near the parking lot area by the home. 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.

Buckland park has 3 different playgrounds spread out in one big park. One is more suited for toddlers, another for smaller kids (3-5) and then finally another one for bigger kids (5+). So if your kid gets tired of one, they can walk to another one. There are plenty of fields to run around on, fly kites, etc. Seems like there's always some children's baseball going on there. There's also a relatively new and well maintained basketball (4 hoops) and tennis courts (2). A good place to host a child's birthday part. I believe there is some indoor space that can be rented (lodge/ pavilion).

Does not have its own dedicated parking lot. Is heavily used you will find people walking their dogs in the nice weather riding their bikes kids scootering, in the winter we had people cross country skiing and snowshoeing as well as walking.
