Hamlin Park is a staple site of East Aurora. There is a volleyball court, a hardball baseball…read morediamond, a half-mile track, tennis and pickleball courts, a multi-purpose field and more in the vicinity and lots of kids having fun, running around. I learned the park is 16 acres large and has been around since 1899! The old trees are a sight to see, and the area feels like you're right in nature. The playground is vast and somewhat outdated, but the kids don't seem to mind. Many events take place here, too, including performances by the Aurora Players Theater and the Rotary Bandstand. Cars aren't allowed, and parking is limited; you might have to find parking on one of the side streets. I noticed there are restrooms too, and a couple of picnic shelters. Leave your beer, your dog and your snowmobile at home; they're not allowed, along with some other items you might want to look up before venturing out. It's a great public park and worth a stopover to relax and enjoy nature on one of the benches or bring a picnic and enjoy your time at one of the picnic tables. Truly, something for everyone.

The park had vendors, people were picnicking, kids were playing, there was a band and baseball field. Hamlin Park was out of a Hallmark Movie. Hallmark should not only continue to use Viddler's as a location for movies, but should also include this park for a summer movie location. There is also a stage in the park that features both free theatrical productions and ticketed productions. Check out Aurora Players for that information.

Wow! Who doesn't love a good tree-house? Now I don't know about you but when I think of a…read moretree-house I think of a simple wooden structure including a floor, some walls and maybe a ceiling in a tree with a simple ladder leading up to it. Well if that's what you are picturing then walking up to this place will feel like stepping into a dream. The tree house itself is incredible full of pure imagination and uniqueness. From a real old car, to a princess castle to a wizard's den, to a real single person airplane that used to fly in the sky this tree house has something for everyone. The people that imagined and made this thing are incredible. They are happy to share their story, their plans, and their backyard with everyone. It is definitely worth it to spend some time checking out their tree house and hearing their story. The tree house is built in their backyard so visit their facebook page to see the dates and times that they are inviting people to come. They are quick to message you back via facebook as well. They invite people freely into their house Young, old, young at heart, this place provides a great escape from reality and a fun place to spend some time.

We visited on a summer weekday and there were about 4 families at 9:30am. I have heard that it can sometimes get crowded, but it's no surprise because of how nice it is. There are also bathroom facilities on site as well that can be accessed from the outside. I believe there is a family restroom as well.

Tim Russert. A favorite "Son of Buffalo"; Avid fan of "The Buffalo Bills"; Tenacious Journalist;…read moreDevout Catholic. Just a few things he is known for. Russert was born in South Buffalo. He went to Canisius. He went to Woodstock, case of beer in hand. He had a law degree (with honors). He was on the Board of Directors for the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was named to one of Time Magazines "100 most influential people" list one year. At the time of his unexpected death (at 58) he was the longest moderator of "Meet the Press, NBCs Sunday morning show. He often closed the show by saying "Go Bills". His son is also a Bills fan. While he was alive, Russert worked with the South Buffalo Alive organization to create a children's space, conveniently next to a public library. This space is a place for children to paly, and adults to come and sit quietly on the benches. There are some gardens and nice wildflowers as well. It's a smaller space, right on the street, but there is parking and its well maintained. This is all in the neighborhood Russert was born and raised in. If you are in the area for the Botanical Garden, the Basilica, or perhaps Valle of Mexico, come by here, its close, and check it out.

I would look like an idiot wearing black rain boots because I didn't want goose crap all over my shoes! These fields here at Clearfield are very well maintained. There is absolutely no goose poop or clumps of grass. Parking is a bit closer. There are a few well maintained tennis courts as well, a pool, and also a kids area with little water slides and such.
