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.

Although this park is mostly known for its bike trails, I had an enjoyable time walking on the path…read morewith a friend a few days ago. 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 .

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.

A big open park with a little bit of everything for its many visitors! It's been a while since…read morewe've visited, and it was a great return! Shelters are available and a clean bathroom also. Lots of parking areas. The only disappointment to this great park was the lack of respect the people have, by leaving trash any and everywhere. It doesn't take even a minute to hold on to your trash till you come across a trash bin. Easy as pie! At one shelter occupied by a huge group of people, there was trash everywhere! People don't need to be told, they just need to think of collecting trash till a suitable time and place is possible to dispose PROPERLY of the trash! Unfortunately, there are more people who trash parks and Nature, than are those who respect our parks and Nature by NOT trashing the environment. On the bright side, this IS indeed a great place to spend a few minutes or even longer!

This is one of our favorite parks. Absolutely bring your dog. I love that they have a turtle…read morehabitat, even though we have never seen a turtle here, but they are obviously trying to do something very positive by encouraging a challenged species. Plenty of shelters to have events, open fields, You can watch people playing cricket or a frisbee / golf game that I don't understand, but I do enjoy watching. There are bridges that go over the creek. The park is well-maintained. There are not too many wooded areas but there are nice walking trails on both blacktop and grass to get your steps in. It is a large park with a lot of space and a great place to have a picnic or just sit and read.

STAY AWAY!!! After…read morereading the other 1-star reviews, I can confidently say our experience was very similar. The behavior we encountered was confrontational, combative, and completely irrational. Without question, this was the worst customer service experience I have ever had. Staff was incapable of having a professional conversation and handled the situation in an extremely unprofessional manner. We were denied use of the pontoon boat for the day we had reserved. Rather than simply refunding that day, he abruptly canceled and refunded the remaining three days of our rental as well, then told us to leave. The entire interaction was completely unprovoked. I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who has to work under those conditions. The woman who initially helped us at the counter was kind and professional, and she appeared visibly shocked and uncomfortable with the way the staff was conducting himself and representing the business. If I were the owner, I would be deeply concerned about the quality of management and customer interactions taking place. Then again, business must be doing well if they can casually refund $1,600 and turn away paying customers without a second thought. Based on our experience, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
