Forest Hill Park is an historic urban park located in East Cleveland, Ohio. The 248-acre (1.00 km²) park has three baseball diamonds, tennis courts and walking trails that have retained the natural green space as intended by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who deeded the park to East Cleveland and the neighboring city of Cleveland Heights. It is the largest single body of green space between two large metroparks on the far east and west sides of Cleveland.[2]

On February 27, 1998, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
