Forest Grove, located between Green Hill Park and Lake Quinsigamond, is a residential and park-adjacent Worcester neighborhood with winding side streets and a wooded, hillside feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Green Hill Park entrance at Belmont Street and Skyline Drive, where ballfields, trails, and seasonal events set the tempo. Housing reads as early- to mid-20th-century New England—compact capes, colonials, and triple-deckers with deep yards and stone retaining walls. Green Hill Park’s zoo and farm areas add a civic, weekend-outing energy. Nearby, the Worcester Art Museum and Mechanics Hall broaden the cultural orbit without changing the quiet street rhythm.
