What a great little park. Took a ride out to see some friends performing at a summer concert…read moreseries. A large parking lot right in front of the park makes it convenient. A good crowd of people from toddlers to walkers. They played under a gazebo decorated and lit with little lights. The local Kiwanis club sold refreshments. $3 dollar hot dogs and $2 dollar pop can't be beat! I didn't see a playground area but there's a nice skate park that was busy with young folks on scooters and bikes. The band sounded good and it was cool when they invited a couple of HS students to sit in. They have actual bathrooms opposed to portable toilets and they were clean! This is a perfect community park for young and old.

Seriously worth the visit for any nature lover! As an agriculturalist, I thoroughly enjoyed this…read morearboretum. It is one of the most well organized and informative display of trees I have seen. The parking lot is nice and even has two electric car charging stations. The pathways are mostly paved with small paths to benches throughout. There is a nice area for presentations...giving field trip vibes...and a spot for weddings. This is really a hidden gem that you must see. You can really tell the staff care about this facility and its presentation.

In honor of hiking on The Weekly Yelp Buffalo, here's another one for all of your beautiful hearts…read more The Erie County Forestry Bureau cannot be put into words how stunningly gorgeous it really is. It's off of the 219 in East Concord, take the Genesee Road exit and the park is literally right on that same road about ten miles down. You will pass the Sugar Mill on your left and the specific trail that I took was on the right hand side. At sunrise, there was no one there and when we left around 10:30, there still was no one there. Except people mowing the grass... Anywhooo. The trail starts in a small hut, you cross a bridge, and then you're off. The first thing you should note is the looming trees and vast foliage. The trail is small but the trees loom tall over you. It really puts things in perspective for the hiker... you're small in comparison to the nature around you. Also, fun bonus, squirrels and wildlife were eating the acorns from the trees and dropping them near us (maybe throwing them at us? Only *they* know). The trail is several miles so you really need to dedicate a full morning to this trail. Especially since the main problem here is that the trail ends up being unmarked for small portions so you're likely to get lost, just a heads up. Don't let that deter you though because some of the best parts of the hike were the unmarked spots. Unmarked location one) We ended up near a flowing creek where you could hear nothing but the waters, your own wavering breath, and the birds overhead. There's nothing more I love than those combination of sounds to form tranquility. Breathe in, exhale, release. Unmarked location two) At sunrise we were already deep into the forest and stumbled upon an open field. Now here's the cool part about the open field: looking straight into the field gives you a simple perspective. Open field, light, awesome. But when you turn your head slightly to catch the light from a different angle, there were HUNDREDS of spider webs formed on different leaves with spiders inching up the webs. You're probably thinking "Oh my god, spiders..." but it was such an incredible thing to witness. And you could only see them if you changed your perspective slightly... I can't wait to come back here! This was only one trail, but there were some on the other side of the road as well (near the Sugar Mill). The Forestry Bureau seems like a huge expanse of land, made up of intertwining trails that lead you everywhere and nowhere. If you're looking for a bit of a break from the chaos in life, a prescription of a hike might be in order! Try this trail and experience the beauty of nature for yourself.
