Champlain Park is a little waterfront park, overlooking Plattsburgh Bay on Lake Champlain…read more Small park on a hill with steps down to the shoreline, yet no water access. Benches to sit on. Beautiful planting's. Small gazebo. Statue honoring Samuel de Champlain. Street parking (free) nearby. It seems to be in a local historic district. Historical houses nearby. A small pedestrian suspension bridge crossing the inlet nearby. While we were visiting, a ghost tour was going on. Overall a nice place to take a break, admire the view, watch some sailboats and some birds.

We got about halfway to the beach and got passed by another park ranger on an atv, who saw us with our towels and still let us walk all the way to the beach, where he waited for us to turn around. Overall expensive and deceptive. Nowhere near worth the cost.

Access to the park is over the scariest single lane bridge I've been on in some time. There is no capacity sign posted so I wouldn't recommend anything large but my 6000 pound Sprinter van did okay. There is a pier (closed) and some beachfront here with a parking area. It was quite lovely with the onshore breeze. A great spot for a picnic. [Review 1630 of 2024 - 541 in New York - 22653 overall]

This is an incredible place to watch the sunset over the mountain range and Champlain lake. There are benches, open field area and a descent amount of parking- not a ton though.

We had the best summer at the pool. We met so many new friends, enjoyed weekly events, spontaneous bubble parties for kids... the memories we made are priceless. We so grateful as the season comes to an end and already looking forward to next year. It was fabulous to slow time down and enjoy a good old fashioned summer.

I love the ratio of equipment for the age of my kids--plenty of baby/toddler swings and slides. Also little rocking ride on equipment. The only thing that could make it a little better for us would be a swing for special needs kids as my older daughter can't sit safely in a regular swing due to her needs. But we make do with what is there very nicely :) The grounds are super well kept and part of a larger park which includes a baseball and soccer (I think) field. I am kind of obsessed with the beautiful flower garden that they have in the parking lot. I would love to be able to steal their gardener for a day to help me make something similar. There is a pool as well with a waterslide. We've never actually used the pool but it very popular and always crowded. There is also a skate park for older kids which is really cool. At least it looks cool--I don't know the first think about skateboarding. I am always impressed by how respectful the skaters seem to be about safety rules. It looks like a lot of fun. Anyhow, this is a really nice park with great shade on hot days. There are always lots of super friendly people there to chat with as well.
