Highland Park is a landscaped Rochester park known for its horticultural character, paths, and seasonal planting.
Highland Park is a deliberately designed arboretum in Rochester, with Frederick Law Olmsted’s landscape arranged to appear natural. Lilacs, Japanese maples, magnolias and rhododendrons form distinct parts of its plant collections, and the annual Lilac Festival draws on that horticultural identity.
Lamberton Conservatory offers indoor plant displays separate from the outdoor grounds. Warner Castle and its Sunken Garden add an architectural and formal-garden setting, while Highland Bowl serves outdoor performances. Conservatory admission and reserved activities have their own arrangements within the wider public park.
