Otto Henderberg Square Park

Otto Henderberg Square Park is a small neighborhood park located in the Swillburg area of Rochester, New York. The park serves as a green space and gathering place for local residents.

Originally created in the 1970s, the park was established on land that had been cleared for a planned highway extension that was ultimately abandoned due to community opposition. It was named after Otto Henderberg, one of the local activists who helped lead the fight against the highway project.

The park features an open grassy area surrounded by mature trees, providing shade and a pleasant natural environment. A gazebo in the park contains a mosaic commemorating the park's history and the Swillburg community. The compact size and residential setting make it an intimate neighborhood park rather than a large recreational facility.

Otto Henderberg Square Park offers a quiet spot for relaxation, picnics, and community gatherings in this historic area of Rochester. Its creation and name serve as a reminder of successful grassroots activism that helped preserve the character of the Swillburg neighborhood.
