Forest Hill Park, Historic district in Richmond, Virginia.
Forest Hill Park encompasses 105 acres of urban landscape with granite structures, walking paths, and natural areas along Reedy Creek.
The property originated from William Byrd III's estate in 1768 and transformed from private land to an amusement park before becoming a public space in 1933.
The Greek Revival stone house, Boscobel, constructed between 1836 and 1843, represents architectural traditions of the mid-19th century Virginia.
The park provides multiple hiking trails, picnic areas, outdoor recreational spaces, and a system of cobblestone footpaths constructed during the 1930s.
A former quarry pond within the park served as a recreational lake during its time as an amusement park from 1889 to 1932.
