One of my favorite places to enjoy a peaceful walk, jog or quiet moment for reflection. The park is well maintained and an overall pleasant place to find your own spot and mind your own business.
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!!! 💐
You gotta admire, love and be thankful for this park! The lilacs, rhododendron and azaleas, when in bloom, are spectacular displays of nature’s bursting color and splendor. Only for short periods in spring, but man are these worth visiting.
My first visit to the Highland Park Bowl was inspiring. Why, you ask? Don Sherman leading the New Horizons Jazz Ensemble followed by the Mid-century Modern Jazz Quartet! Families, couples, and singles all enjoying a concert in the park. What more could you desire on a balmy early summer evening? How about a wine tasting and free popcorn! All included for your enjoyment! I’ll be back soon.
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!
