    What do you call it when you lose a game here? EPIC FAIL! And what do you call it when you take a…read morephoto of yourself playing here and then email it to someone? An E-PIC of course! And what if a famous person played here? Well then his name would be EPIC ESTRADA or EPIC CLAPTON. Obviously. Seriously did you know Eric Clapton gave a drunken racist speech on stage a few times? I heard one of them on YouTube, it was horrible. Put me right off him. I'm sure it's the reason why Layla left him. He definitely wasn't wonderful that night. This is actually my favourite place in Western NY to play soccer (football, futbol). It's not as fancy as Sahlen's, and female friends have told me it doesn't smell very nice here (because of the Ice Hockey probably), but it feels like home. The employees are absolutely wonderful, the refs are usually very good, the teams that play here don't usually try and cripple you and break your legs, and in general this place is good times and good people. The guy who runs it (doesn't own it, but pretty much runs it), is Mark, and he is one of the friendliest people I've ever dealt with. He's so accommodating and just nice on every level, and very professional. The other guys that work here such as Isaiah (sp?) and the cute girls that do the scorekeeping (one in particular! swoon!), and the referees like the two from England (one from Birmingham, one who vacations in Florida), and so on... Plus I have a habit of winning championships here, so I like it. I think I've won something like 6 or 7 championships here in the last 3 years... 4 or 5 of those were in the last 6 months. So yay Epic. It's always good to win, right? Sahlens is where I always seem to get injured, and it's super far, and super serious... and Sportsplex is... well, I'll review that another time and explain. They have all kinds of other cool sports as well as soccer... just look on their website for full details. And they have a small and a large soccer field, and I like playing on both. Especially on the small one because it matches the kind of little 5-a-side games I used to play in England, it lends itself to players who are good at close control and tight-space-skill which is definitely one of my fave types of game play. So Yay Epic.

    For the first time since I came to United States I face a situation where I feel I'm being…read morediscriminated against!! The staff is so unprofessional, they double book fields and blame it on people, and when we tried to rectify the situation we were surprised that we were banned from playing!! I believe that sport should not at all be affected by bigotry, racism, etc.. A large group of young physicians were treated very bad by staff and i am ashamed to have ever played in that center

    I actually love this particular section of the park. The part where the pond and the ducks are…read more There's a gazebo with benches and a grill. There's a small splash pad with high streaming water that I sometimes play in with others. Yes, im very much a big kid at heart. Im not impressed with the swing set section but there is one there with a tetter totter across from it. There is a track that circles this section of the park. It's great for short walks or when watching ure steps for exercise. There's much more additional space of the park across the street where they hold football and cheerleading practices as well as games. The back end of the park also holds football games. What I don't like about the park is that it isn't cleaned well or often. I have seen the city parks dept "cleaning" this park on several different occasions. It literally was astounding how they purposely left trash. I said something to them once about how I've seen people come dump their trash there and how it's great we have them to make sure it's clean for park goers. Interestingly enough as I did my steps around the park repeatedly they cleaned it well that day. Go figure.

    This used to be called Shilling Park because it was purchased for a shilling from the Brits. Then…read moreit changed its name to Shelley Park because Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein while sitting in this park. Finally it became known as Thriller Park in honour of the highest selling album of all time, released in 1982 by Michael Jackson. Finally, they combined all of those names to make what it is today. Schiller Park is a great place to play soccer, it's a nice field and I have lots of good memories from here. It might be a bit better than Bakos, just down the road, because it's a little bit cleaner. One thing I don't like about it is that the Cheektowaga Police seem to think it's fun to pull people over right next to this park all the time, it's right on the border between Buffalo and Cheektowaga, and it's a very black neighborhood, and every single car they seem to pull over on this street has a black driver. Not very heartwarming to see that kind of profiling going on... plenty of cars with white drivers come down this street too... I've seen about 20 cars with black drivers pulled over here... zero with white drivers. But I digress... it's an excellent place to play and I give it the top rating.
