Great place to be! Did NOT know there was parking allowed in the park by the buildings. We walked through 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! read more

My kids and I stopped by for a bit in between running errands in this part of town. It's a small cozy neighborhood park with a somewhat outdated playground under repair, but lots and lots of swings.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. read more

Sequoias wouldn't like this park but pineswood. An underrated Park in the heart of Tonawanda not far from the canal. It gets a little bit dirty and a little bit busy at times, and sometimes cars can be found driving right through the heart of it, which is the only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars. I've seen some cute creatures in here as well. read more

Pinewoods Park - I'm in love with wood and i feel pine - Parks Near Me - North Tonawanda, New York

Disc golf in and out of the woods. They redid the numbering this year to make one easier to find, and I'm not sure if any of the order switched but it wasn't easy to find all the holes. At one point you have to walk a bit and cross the road and walk past the playground. We only found everything by waiting for the guy behind us to pass and following him through the park. Otherwise it is well maintained, just needs a map of holes read more

Small park in North Tonawanda. We stumbled upon it after visiting the Farmers Market one morning. It's a cute little place to have a stroll. Not an exercise type park, no running track or path. Easy parking. read more

Pure nostalgia. My love for this park is largely based on my Grandmother taking me here as a child. This park was in walking distance from her home so my siblings and cousins were brought here often. The park is simple, average to smaller in size for the area. It is populated with many large old trees. I love shaded parks as opposed to wide open spaces so this fits the bill. The play area is quite cute though nothing unusual. Scattered picnic tables accommodating enough for the size of this park. I would recommend this park for those who like a quiet, shady place to relax or bring children to without the noise and traffic of a larger park. read more

Nothing great. They have a 9 hole disc course that allows for a double back to make it 18. The distance is nothing, but that's actually kind of nice. There's a scattering of trees that don't make it so much of a hazard, and no water, so this was an ideal course to get familiar with my new discs, which are different brands as well as ratings so it was good to get used to. The pads are dirt, the signs are duct tape on trees with sharpie pens, and the distance is just a hundred yards or so. Really dinky and pathetic, but I'm glad it's there, even if it's a little congested with kids and traffic. But it's not amazing. Good for beginners and a quick game or practice midrange and putt shots. read more
