Welcome to Forest Hill
Park, Richmond, Virginia
One of the
City's Oldest and Most Diverse Urban Parks
Old Stone House
For over a
century, Forest Hill Park has been an attraction for family picnics,
winter sledding, bird-watchng, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
There are gently rolling lawns in the upper area that stand in contrast
to steep forest ravines in the lower area, with a stream-fed lake below.
The Stone House, built circa 1843 with granite from an on-site quarry,
was once the residence for an old country estate. The
well-preserved structure now features a gallery of historic maps and
photographs, an unusual 3-story circular staircase, and many other
original features.
The main hall is now reserved for community meetings and is the
headquarters for Friends of Forest Hill Park.
As an official historic property, Forest Hill Park is listed on both
the
Virginia and the National Registers of Historic Sites.
You're Welcome Here!
