Green Hill Park

Green Hill Park is a large public park in Worcester featuring rolling hills, mature forests, and two ponds situated at an elevated location. The landscape includes open meadows, dense woodlands, and natural water features scattered throughout the grounds.

The land was purchased from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1713 and converted to agricultural use by settlers. A golf course was added in 1929 and integrated with Worcester's highest elevation points.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial sits near Green Hill Pond as a quiet place for remembrance within the park grounds. Visitors come here to pay respects and reflect on the stories of those honored.

The park offers maintained trails through woodlands and across meadows for various activities. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear since some areas are hilly and uneven.

The golf course was designed by Willie Ogg and cleverly uses the natural elevation changes of the land. The design blends so seamlessly with the hills that the boundary between the course and natural terrain almost disappears.
