    So beautiful and peaceful. Hard to believe so peaceful bc it's typical bumping! (Busy) trails, ponds, courts for bball and If you go to the top part of Cobbs Hill you can sit and chill on my son, Maxwell Fadia's memorial bench. If ur lucky enough to visit after I've left I always leave 2 beers 🍻 . Maxwell's friends have told me they leave prizes there too. I have decorated rocks under his 2 trees and would love it if you brought one when you go visit❤️

    I grew up playing at Cobbs Hill Park. Walking the reservoir, finding beautiful queen Anne's lace to press in books in the meadow, fishing in the pond, swimming in the pool and crafting in the community room. Coming back after all these years was so wonderful. The park has improved and I'm still searching for that meadow up at the reservoir. I am happy to be home.

    Very cool view of Rochester skyline. We went for sunset and shared the experience with about 30 other people. We had such a great time.

    Love this park right in the middle of the city. Basketball courts, tennis courts, baseball diamond, picnic and grilling area, dog park, playground and play area for kids, hiking trails, and the walking path around the reservoir. Also has the skyline view of downtown. Highly recommend this park.

    This place is a Rochester treasure. You can walk around the reservoir, sit and look out over an amazing view of the city skyline, or explore Washington Grove trail to see ever-changing street art on the old water towers. So many different walks of life utilize this park. Just last time we went we saw families exploring, couples walking their dogs and having picnics, people napping in hammocks, it’s just such a unique place.

    A nice long hill for your kids to slide just park in the reservoir and follow the sidewalk next to the road until you see the steps to your left. And the slope is in front, enjoy the view

  • 5/5 Ethel j. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place to walk. Speed bumps recently added around the reservoir.

  • 5/5 Mary S. 11 months ago on Google
    Very pretty! The reservoirs in particular are super cool.

  • 5/5 Andrew W. 10 months ago on Google
    This place has epic views of Rochester. This a great place to take a date or just chill. The parkway up to the top is popular with bicyclists. There is also paths for runners.

  • 5/5 Selina R. 5 months ago on Google
    I absolutely love walking my dog here. The views are amazing, and I get options. If I just want to walk the paved path around the reservoir, I can, but if I want to challenge myself, I can do the hill or walk in the grass to let my dog enjoy sniffing around.

    This park has two distinct areas. The recreational activities are mostly at the bottom of the hill, while the top holds one of the best views of Rochester. This place is best enjoyed at sunset, and attracts quite a following of photographers on a nightly basis. If you’re at the top of the hill, walking the reservoir, there are paths that take you to the old water towers if you follow the edge of the parking circle. Look for desire trails along the grass/tree edge. Multiple towns fireworks can be viewed from here on the Fourth of July as well. I am not certain if the firework viewing is endorsed by the park but last year it was very busy. Years ago a drum circle used to come up here. I am not sure if they still do because I haven’t seen them in the last few years however the acoustics up there, made it awesome. The interior of the water towers also has amazing acoustics.

    Often overshadowed by the more marketed Highland Park, Cobbs Hill is a treasure tucked neatly nearby. The full park has a lot to offer, basketball courts, baseball field, tennis courts, and plenty of green space in the lower area - the true gem is up towards the reservoir - Washington Grove and the old water tanks. Washington Grove is an old-growth Oak-Hickory Forest with winding trails that take you away from the bustle of the city. The ecology is amazing here, and I'll never get tired of seeing the mushrooms or berries peeking through from the undergrowth. The water tanks proudly show off local graffiti artists, and the talent that can be found up there is immense! The murals change more often than the seasons, and I always look forward to seeing what's new. In the summer and fall, you can step inside at least one of the tanks to see more art and get those brain itches scratched with a delightful echo. The reservoir itself makes for a great walking track if you're looking for paved and pretty (ps, it's about .69mi for one lap)

    The park is in great shape with plenty of upgrades over the years. Wanna run? This is the place. Hacky-sac? Head up to the reservoir and jam out up there. Playgrounds, basketball courts and tennis courts, too. They even have trees to climb!

  • 5/5 Jessica M. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place to walk! Can see the view of the skyline from downtown.
