Used by walkers and cyclists. Parking lot located at the beginning of the trail, on Walter Winter drive.

This is a great four mile long bike path about a mile outside of the Village of Lancaster. As it…read moresits where train tracks used to be, it is open on both sides so most of your walk will be in the sun but there are some nice shaded stretches. We saw a few lazy groundhogs and a hawk, I feel like this could be a great area animal viewings. There are some nice water areas as well. The path has markers every 1/4 mile to make it easy to track your progress if you don't want to walk the 8 mile round trip. Parking was easy to find at the trailhead but is limited.

I love running here! The loop is about 1/2 a mile, but there are plenty of trails in the woods as…read morewell. Great little spot that is not very popular or crowded. Just have to work around the geese.

I naively came after a storm this morning and all of the trails were very wet and/or muddy. My feet are soaked leaving but I still had a good time. I saw a lot of birds including a green heron, an osprey, a bluebird, and a pair of immature trumpeter swans.

A shockingly well maintained park…read more Beautiful trails that go deep in the woods. My family was chased by raccoons once. I went yesterday and multiple people were taking photos of the foliage. And a really nice big playground. They have subtle but cute Christmas lights display when the season comes. And their softball league is run better than MLB. Shout out to the Cheektowaga rec department for this gem.

We had a picnic here. The location is a little far out and off the beaten path but it's worth it…read more Tons of open green space to relax and enjoy. There is plenty of parking a short walk away. The bathrooms were very clean. If you plan on walking down Buffalo Creek and getting in the water - word of caution wear crocs or water shoes because the green moss will make you slip - also someone in our party got a leach on their foot and the kids said there were a ton near the mini falls so beware.

A friend wanted to walk here tonight so we showed up and walked the path. It's just past the…read moreVillage Green Senior Center. You need to drive into their lot and park there to walk the path. (We didn't realize that, while trying to find the place.) The path is about a mile. The park is well-maintained and there are three or four gazebos of varying size, if you'd like to have a picnic. There is a nice waterfall area that some people were swimming in. On the way back to the car, on the other end of the path, I noticed many beautiful birdhouses in the trees.

This is a shockingly nice park that Depew continues to invest in…read more There are multiple baseball diamonds. A beautifully clean pool that appears to actually be open majority of the time I visit. There are tennis courts one of which acts as grounds for street hockey. There are also multiple sand volleyball pits one of which is brand new. They even planted new pine trees.

If you could order hits here for certain amounts of money, then it would be Gun-For-Hireman's Park…read more Luckily for all of us, it's not, and you can't. Fireman's Park is a baseball diamond, a pavilion, some greenery, some trees, and a soccer field, in the heart of Depew sandwiched between a bunch of railway lines (or railroad tracks if you're American). I used to play soccer here quite a lot, and was on the wrong end of several ass-whoopings by Depew Village who are an excellent BDSL team that calls this location home. I also scored some goals here, including a hat trick once, so it has good memories for me too. All in all it's a great little park, the grass isn't too bad... it's under-utilized and underappreciated by Depew Locals and could be better than it is, so I'll give it a solid 4 out of 5. Speaking of a solid 4, I have a solid 7 or 8 right here.

We have been to Glen Park a few times. But now that our son is running around, going to the park is…read morealways a new adventure. After having some ice cream, we went for a quick walk throughout the park. This park really is great. It is a little small but that also makes it so nice. No need for maps or worries of getting lost, it's perfect for a nice walk. My son loves looking for all the wildlife especially if there are any ducks or fish. Luckily for him, there are plenty of ducks around here. Another nice thing about this park is that it is very scenic for photography. There were a few different groups there doing what looked like senior pictures or photos before an event. Whether you're looking for a nice walk, scenic backdrop or just a quiet place to sit on a bench and think, this park has it all.

I had some free time on a Sunday morning while I was waiting for a family reunion. So, I looked on…read moreGoogle Maps for local parks to visit. This one caught my eye. I am amazed at how restful and beautifully maintained it is. The flowers were welcoming, the small waterfall enchanting, the trails curious and winding, and the wildlife amusing. I felt more relaxed and grounded after my visit than I have in a long time. The only negative was that someone was smoking weed on a park bench and the odor instantly turned me off. I'm sure smoking is not allowed, but I was chagrined that in this little section of The Garden of Eden someone would assume to make the place smell like a stoner's living room.
