Green Hill Park
About Green Hill Park
A Walk Through Time
Perched atop one of Worcester's seven main hills sits Green Hill Park, the city's largest municipal green space stretching over 480 acres of natural beauty. What started as wilderness, then became farmland, later transformed into a country estate, and finally evolved into the public treasure we enjoy today.
Once the property of the Green family estate, the city acquired this land in 1905, beginning its journey as the community haven we now know.
Natural Beauty All Around
One of the best things about Green Hill Park? Those stunning views. From its elevated position, you can take in unique panoramas of Worcester that give you a whole new perspective on the city. The landscape is wonderfully diverse - rolling hills, mature woodlands, and open spaces that invite exploration.
At the heart of it all lies the 30-acre Green Hill Pond, a serene water feature that is the centerpiece for many park activities and creates a tranquil focal point amid the greenery.
A Place of Remembrance
The park is home to the solemn and moving Massachusetts Vietnam Veterans' Memorial, dedicated in June 2002. This important site honors those from Massachusetts who served in the Vietnam War, adding historical depth to the park while providing visitors a quiet place for reflection and remembrance.

Something for Everyone
Whether you're looking for active recreation or just a peaceful afternoon in nature, Green Hill Park has plenty to offer. The multi-use design accommodates everything from sporting activities to nature walks, making it a versatile destination for all ages and interests.
Over the years, Worcester has thoughtfully expanded the park by acquiring adjacent open spaces, protecting and enhancing its natural resources. This ongoing stewardship helps maintain Green Hill Park as a green oasis in the urban landscape - a place where recreation and natural beauty come together in the heart of the city.
