    This park is in between River Street and the Niagara River. There's a lot of parking, a covered pavilion and a small playground. It's not the best place to get away from it all due to its proximity to a busy street, but it's pretty. If you have kids and they want to swing, you'll want to go an additional mile to Fisherman Park instead, which has a few swing sets but a smaller play structure.

    This is a beautiful and huge park right on the Niagara River in North Tonawanda. I went for the first time for the free Niagara River Rocks concert series last night. Primus was playing so as expected, it was filled with bodies. The atmosphere for this type of concert was excellent. Being on the river, there was a great view with plenty of boats anchored in the river. A nice sunset and half hour long lines for the bathroom, followed by light up hula hoops and a giant light up astronaut made this a true concert experience. I'll definitely be returning to this park when it's a little less crowded. There's a great bike/walking path along the water and tons of space for picnics, yoga, or just relaxing in the grass.

    Clean, small community park, located in heart of Amherst, behind the Amherst police station…read more Recently visited for a fire fly hike that was guided, by the NYS Parks Department; Catol Rodgers. Interesting facts learned on fireflies: they like leafy dark areas, eat slugs, and snails and really lite up the park. Paved trail, not very long, perfect for quick walk or hike to explore the many trees. Family, everyone friendly.

    Went to this park with my son and his two children under eight years of age (7 & 5). It was the…read moreperfect length to get through without hearing the children complain that they were tired of walking. This is such a beautiful park to enjoy a nice walk, jog, a bike ride or to go fishing (no spots to play sports of any kind here). There are a couple small grassy areas you can sit with a blanket and have a small picnic, eat lunch or bring your own lawn chair and enjoy a book. Plenty of benches to sit down, relax and enjoy the view of the water. In addition, the trees provide lots of shaded areas to appreciate as you walk through the paved trail on a hot summer day. Lastly, there are a lot of droppings from the geese (the children were stressing about avoiding it). I didn't see a playground during my walk but there is a very nice playground available for the children in front of the library that is located adjacent to the park entrance - you'll see it. I used my GPS to get here and parked at the courthouse parking lot, there was a path to where the trail starts - in my photos. Bring bug spray and sunblock in the summer and enjoy a stroll after a good meal. Rated this park four stars because I would probably only come back to take a walk if I'm already in the area but there's nothing here you absolutely have to see if you were visiting Buffalo. However, the park is beautiful and serene. If there was more to do or picnic tables for families to sit and eat, I would give it five stars.

    Great place to be! Did NOT know there was parking allowed in the park by the buildings. We walked…read morethrough the park on the one trail we found. A lot of work had been done just recently, as we saw Tree trunks and pieces moved from one spot to another to clear the trails. We got out to the baseball field then continued walking the trail. Outside the trails through the woods were a LOT of Flickers [woodpecker]. We've never been to any area where we saw so many flickers before on the Trees or ground. At one time there were seven of them on the ground! Be very careful because while we were deep within the woods, apparently I was bit by a wasp. Heard NO sign of wasps and we did NOT venture off the trail, but at one time within the first 20mins within the park, I was bit by something within my pants. Later at home I could see what was later identified as a wasp sting. I heard NO buzzing or anything, but apparently it got into my pant leg as I could feel something inside my trousers. Otherwise WE enjoyed being out in the Nature that is western New York and Pine Woods Park! I WAS disgusted to see that the woods trail and most of the open areas were littered with human filth and trash. Please everyone, YOU are part of the solution AND/or problem!! Please teach your kids to NOT litter! I put my trash while in the outdoors into my right back pocket, and when home or where there's an outdoor trash bin, it gets transferred to that. Also, kids learn from who they are with, or via their home environment, so if everyone around them trashes our parks, streets etc, then they will too. They learn from experiences. Please pick UP your trash or better yet, DO NOT LITTER OUR PARKS! I saw a lot of people walking their pets. I have seen a lot of pet owners at other western New York parks litter disgustingly with their pet poop. Either they leave the poop so YOU can step in it, or they pick it up, then when nobody is around, they throw it in bushes or leave their bag of pet poop in plain sight. IF you are a pet owner and do this, you are a disgusting person who should be fined, jailed and do community service picking up cigarette butts and dog poop off the streets! YOU should have your pet taken away and given to a true animal lover who will respect others, parks and other natural areas, and their pet, and NOT leave their poop out!

    My kids and I stopped by for a bit in between running errands in this part of town. It's a small…read morecozy neighborhood park with a somewhat outdated playground under repair, but lots and lots of swings. Plenty of shade. There's a small nature trail. All the restrooms were mysteriously locked even though it's still summer, but there's a couple of port-a-potties. I wouldn't make a special trip, but it's a solid neighborhood park aside from the closed restrooms.

    This huge park is easily accessible from the UB or Ellicott Creek trail bike paths. Lots of wide…read moreopen green spaces. No road noise. Just the wind and water. In addition to the bike and walking paths that pass through this park, it gets used for winter sports like snowshoeing and cross country skiing. There's tennis courts, too. No playgrounds that I can tell, but that makes it an ideal place to observe wildlife or have a quiet picnic. I've been in the area so many times without realizing this was here. Lots of benches, some with shade, some without. There's a pond for fishing. Just a lovely jewel in the suburbs near the university. Makes me wish I could have a do-over because my college experience would probably be a lot nicer in a place like this.

A nice wooden bridge, Ellicott creek, a ton of planted trees , the American flag, and several wooden benches fill up this park, which reaches from North Forest to the UB campus. The best part of this walk, though, was when it started raining and we were heading back....... amazingly, a mama and baby deer came really close to the trail, eating grass and looking up at us every once in a while. That made for a great photo opportunity! I'll be back to take a ride on my bike sometime.... P.S. be cautious of your GPS , the address lead me to the golf course, not the park. The parking lot is on North Forest Ave just a bit past Maple .
