Denison Park — Attraction in City of Corning

I spent a lot of time in this park growing up because it was so close to my house. In a relatively small town like Corning, it had so much to offer me at different stages of my life. It was one of the first places I could bike to when I was old enough to ride beyond my block or skate through with friends and family to take a swim at the public pool. It offered me a route to run around when I was conditioning for volleyball and tennis season. Speaking of tennis, although the courts were rough, I spent many summers out here practicing with my siblings to stay competitive for 4 years of varsity tennis. Beyond high school, I found myself coming back to play tag football or soccer with family in post Thanksgiving dinner tradition, to practice my photography skills by the water, and eventually a place to escape to, with my now-husband, where we would take long walks cutting through the tunnel to Market Street for the sake of getting out. Lots of great memories in this park that always seemed to have something to do at every...

This park is wonderful. Quiet, open and quite large as city parks go. It is away from the mainstream traffic which makes for easy walking. There are historic features that are original to the area. There is a (seasonal of course) pool, soccer field, basketball courts, frisbee tennis goals, a childrens' playground and a charming covered picnic pavillion by the pond. There is also a skate park. Gazebo suitable for portrait photos and a walk-thru tunnel that goes underneath Denison Parkway. Just a pleasure to visit. Wish they had more community events here....

This local park is always kept clean and welcoming for residents and tourists. There is a playground for children, covered picnic tables, a pond, walking paths, spots to throw a frisbee around in the summer and a large population of squirrels.

The main attraction for me is the squirrels. Bring them bread or some seeds to eat and they'll gather around you like seagulls. They're always adorable to watch a look at, just don't try to pet them because they'll get scared and run away.

The pond is nice but needs to be cleaned more...
