点评:We went to Highland Park just prior to the lilac bloom to avoid crowds and parked without an issue at around 10am on a Sunday for free. It is a hilly walk so be prepared with solid and supportive footwear. Get a park map online as it can be hard to navigate where things are as a first time visitor like us. The magnolias were beautiful late April - yellow, deep purple and pink, the redbuds were vibrant and even a few lilac bushes were out and fragrant. A few people were doing photoshoots and others were jogging but the most beautiful was to see artists so inspired by the blooms they had set up canvases and were painting in the magnolias. No one intruded each other so you were able to get good photos and there also weren’t any swarms of Instagrammers so it felt very peaceful and enjoyable for whatever you were wanting to do, even picnic! Warner Castle is right near the park and was nice but we actually liked the Colgate Rochester Crozer Divinity School on the hill near the park better, as it looked more grand being so high up. Highly recommended for a romantic walk or picnic with the family.
翻译:为了避开人潮,我们在丁香花盛开前去了高地公园。周日早上10点左右,我们很顺利地免费找到了停车位。公园里有一段坡路,所以一定要穿结实舒适的鞋子。建议提前在网上下载一份公园地图,因为像我们这样的第一次来的人可能会不太容易找到路。四月下旬的玉兰花美极了——黄色、深紫色和粉色交相辉映,红芽紫荆也鲜艳夺目,甚至还有几丛丁香花也开了,散发着芬芳。有些人正在拍照,有些人正在慢跑,但最令人惊艳的是,一些艺术家被盛开的花朵所启发,在玉兰花丛中支起画布作画。大家互不干扰,所以可以拍到很多好照片。而且也没有成群结队的Instagram用户,所以感觉非常宁静祥和,无论你想做什么,甚至野餐,都能尽情享受!华纳城堡就在公园附近,景色不错,但我们更喜欢公园附近山上的科尔盖特罗切斯特克罗泽神学院,因为它地势较高,显得更加宏伟壮观。强烈推荐这里作为浪漫漫步或家庭野餐的场所。
