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.[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] 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]
