It's got a long sandbar, making it an ideal place for boats to anchor and allow boaters to swim, and a great place for kids! We often see people on rafts or paddle boards! There is not a parking lot, street parking only, but honestly, still less walking than parking at Charlotte Ontario Beach park!

On a slightly overcast morning, this was a very calming and peaceful start to the day. A nice walk…read moreout on the pier to see the light beacon as I begin to make my way across Northern New York from Rochester. The Irondequoit Bay Outlet Bridge was closed so there was no opportunity to cross the harbor on foot or by vehicle without driving all the way around the harbor. So that's a downer. The pier is smooth and easy to walk. I think it could be wheelchair accessible. Enjoy the view of the lake and the light beacon! [Review 1527 of 2024 - 443 in New York - 22550 overall]

My Aunt & Uncle recommended this playground in Webster Park while we were in town visiting…read more I saw a sign saying that this playground was dedicated to a little boy named Jack who passed away in 2016 at the age of 3. (So sad) Jack's Place is such an awesome playground! The recommended age range is 5-12. There are so many neat aspects of it including some unique spinning "rides", numerous slides, swings, lots of places to climb and a rubberized digging zone. There are a few benches around for the adults. Our kiddos had so much fun here! Highly recommend!

There's another Jack's Place playground in Webster Park at the corner of Holt and Lake Rd. The…read moreplayground is really nice. It looks new and is in a great location near the lake on warm days. Plenty of field and a couple of picnic tables. I don't recommend eating there based on our experience yesterday. We were invaded by what looked like fruit flies times 1,000. It literally rained bugs on us at the picnic table within one minute of sitting down so we booked it out of there and ate down the street another playground before returning. There are a few different activities for the kids, some the same as the location in Penfield such as the sand pit (here it's rubber), the big standup spinner, and the signature dinosaurs. Plenty to keep the kids happy. My kids loved it here!

My first visit here. I went for a graduation party. It was a beautiful semi-secluded spot. We were…read moreParked in Area 1 and there was a path that went to the pavilion that was rented for the party. There was a bathroom as part of the pavilion, it is on the outside of the building, and it is open to the public. Which was nice having a bathroom so close. The bathrooms were spotless. I did get a bit of a surprise when I tried to hang my purse and found a pair of female panties hung there instead. Haha! I jumped, acting like they were going to jump out and grab me. So, yah, that happened. Probably someone changing into their bathing suit left it. You can see the water from the pavilion, or walk out to it. The landscaping was beautifully done, parts were immaculate, and some parts weee sanded for having fun, park like setting to play frisbee, horse shoes, Bocce ball. Etc.... You do not have to rent a pavilion, you can just go, and use the grounds. We paid 9.00 to get in. I think that's a per car fee. We don't live in the county, so Idk if that fee is for residence of the county or just non residents. Maybe something to check on before you go. They had grills there, a little fence around part of the pavilion, with picnic tables. Everything was set up very nicely. I have no idea how the pavilion rentals work, or how much they cost. But it was a beautiful spot. Trees, pathways, water, what more could you ask for. It seems quite large, and others were there as well enjoying the day like us. It is a joyful place, and everyone just enjoyed themselves, and respected each other. Very joyful, peaceful family place.

I went to the park today to look for "sea" glass. Admission is $9 per car unless you're military,…read morethen it's free. I parked in area 3 and began my hunt. There was one family there with kids playing in the sand and water. I did find a little bit of glass. Stopped on my way out to use the restroom and it was pretty disgusting. I guess no one had cleaned it yet from the weekend. I'm talking poop on toilet seats, in the sinks, etc. kind of disgusting. I then drove to area 5 and began my search here. There were 2 families here playing in the sand and water. Again, I found a little bit of glass and a few interesting pieces of rocks. If you're wanting to look for sea glass, make sure you look at the tidal charts first. Looking at low tide is optimal. Also, make sure you take a trash bag to haul your trash out with you. There are no trash cans, and there will likely be some litter on the beach.

A great and short little walk out of the pier gives you gorgeous views of the sunset. Fishing along the edge of the channel and from the bridge is also popular. A little parking area right next to the park and additional parking across the street.
