Quarry Hill Nature Center is a public, municipal park on the eastern edge of the city of Rochester, Minnesota. It has a square acreage of 329 acres, and has multiple facilities in the park for wildlife observation and learning. This nature center was originally the park for the Rochester State Hospital's farm, but then was purchased by the City of Rochester in 1965. The land was converted into a park, and was officially opened in 1973, in collaboration with Rochester's Parks Department and the Rochester 535 Independent School District. The center has had multiple renovations since the 90s.
