Forest Hill Park is an historic urban park that formerly was a portion of John D. Rockefeller's estate, located in East Cleveland and Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Two-thirds of the park lie in East Cleveland, and the remaining third is in Cleveland Heights.[2] The 248-acre (1.00 km2) park has six baseball diamonds (four lit), six lit tennis courts and walking trails[3] that have retained the natural green space as intended by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who deeded the park to the two cities in 1936.[4] A fire destroyed the estate house in 1917. Albert Davis Taylor was the park's landscape architect. It is the largest single body of green space between two large metroparks on the far east and west sides of Cleveland.[5]
On February 27, 1998, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
