A park inside a park! Washington Grove deserves its own review separate from the glory of Cobbs Hill, though it is located adjacent to it. It is easy to miss from every entrance if you aren't...

Washington Grove, nestled on the eastern edge of Cobbs Hill Reservoir in Rochester, NY, is a hidden oasis known as a "forest in the city." This unique oak-hickory forest boasts giant old trees that create a tranquil, secluded woodland experience, offering a peaceful retreat from the urban bustle.
Visitors to Washington Grove can enjoy a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, cross-country skiing, bird watching, and dog walking amidst the park's 26 acres of undisturbed forest. The park's well-maintained trails provide an opportunity to explore the region's glacial topography and marvel at trees that have stood for over 200 years.
Designated as Washington Memorial Grove in 1932, this park is a testament to the city's commitment to preserving natural spaces. Managed through a partnership with the City of Rochester and the Friends of Washington Grove, the park's restoration project focuses on maintaining its biodiversity by removing invasive species and reintroducing native plants. Washington Grove is indeed a precious gem worth protecting and exploring.
