If they ever bulldoze this soccer field, I'll be like, "omg! They killed Kenney!" But hopefully…read morethat totally never happens. Because I'm a big fan, in fact this is where I played some of the biggest soccer games of my amateur grown-up life once I moved to Buffalo. Under the floodlights late in the evening, playing for the Eagles, we had some great moments here. Through balls, defensive blocks, epic crosses, and a very famous last minute goal by JG (hey if you're reading, that was an awesome strike!), and those memories will last forever. I actually felt like an American on those nights. Like I'd never been born and raised in a pessimistic negative rough and harsh society like I was. As if I'd been one of the dreamers, the Hollywood kids, the baseball kids, the cotton candy Kool Aid kids, and yes I must have been drinking the Kool Aid before writing this. Suffice to say, I always loved this field, and I always will.

I imagine most people come here for one of two reasons. The memorial. Or the soccer…read more This is a field. Hence the name. In the heart of the town the traffic does flow by here. It has various bleacher seats set up for what are presumably soccer games, based on the goals. There are picnic tables under a covered area. Nice for a hot sunny day. Small playground area. Then there's a large veterans memorial here which is beautiful. All names inscribed by military branch. Many trees and benches in honor of the fallen. Large easy parking lot. 1125

There is a second covered area with more tables and grills with a small parking area near it. That one is near an area with access to the water. A nice local neighborhood park with actual fishermen this morning. 1778

The only problem with the pavilion we had today was there was no electricity inside. There was a big grill to use, which was very nice, but unfortunately, no electrical sockets.

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!

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.

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!
