Forest Hill Park is an historic urban park that 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.[1] The Шаблон:Convert park has six baseball diamonds (four lit), six lit tennis courts and walking trails[2] that have retained the natural green space as intended by John D. Rockefeller Jr., who deeded the park to the two cities in 1936.[3] 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.[4]

History

The park was bought by Rockefeller in 1873 as a summer estate, which was used by Rockefeller's family until 1915.[5] A fire destroyed the estate house in 1917.[4] In 1939 Rockefeller transferred 1/3 (one-third) of the property to Cleveland Heights and 2/3 (two-thirds) to East Cleveland.[5]

On February 27, 1998, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
