Nice enough for picnic parties. There's an Updated kids play ground, though the area with the swings, slides and other play things is a rather small space. It can tend to crowd the kids, and regular type people as well, together a bit. There sometimes isn't enough playground for everyone and some have to wait and take turns and what not. Gill creek, running through the park, is stocked at the beginning of every summer. Usually with Brown Trout raised in captivity, so 🌽corn is usually a good bait, sometimes their known to bite on little pieces of raw hotdogs too (Welcome to Niagara Falls Folks) Along Robinson road, which wines through the park from Pine Ave. to Porter Road, there are a few sets of fenced in tennis courts. Though the nets can sometimes seem to be kinda just "calling it in" when it comes to the sag to firm ratio. The grounds are made from a softer than concrete material.. perhaps clay, I'm not sure. Again just off Robinson road, between the sets of tennis courts is a fine stone building. Inside is an ice skating rink and I think they still have a game room, if not then just a few remnant games. Continuing up the road 20 or 30 yards, just across the parking lot from the Ice Pavillion are two volleyball courts. The shakey nets on the tennis courts mock the ragged, crooked, uneven sad excuse for volleyball nets.. but the grounds folks allow us to put up our own nets. Which is cool considering they are same who keep the bathrooms locked after constant badgering from the volleyball players every year. There are electrical outlets found right next to the courts too. Good for charging cell phones, powering. Stereos and anything else you may want or need to plug in.. but keep your head up, if those pesky grounds folks see you using them they are sure to cut the power to the outlets emediatly. Continuing up Robinson around the bend, over the bridge, out behind Sal Maglie Stadium, a great place to catch a game believe it or not. If there are ever any games even held there anymore, I don't know. But continuing on down the road along the .. ball diamond/ football fields to the next stop sign you'll see duck island to your right. Parking can be found across the street kitty corner to the left. Duck island is a simple but pretty cool little island with a nice Pavillion built on it. There are steps leading into the creek (But do not, under any circumstances, ever enter the water. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't. Thanks. I hope you found this accurate...
Read moreSuper great family park. My husband and I had just stopped here for a time killer while we waiting on our child to attend a 5 hour event at the local high school. We live kinda far so we decided we would find somewhere to go. This couldn't have been a more awesome pick. Thetes a cute lake right in the park when for fishing or small boats, a nice bridge to stand on for a great view and the coolest old stadium along with base ball diamonds and playground. We spent almost 3 hours just walking the path and checking it out n found tons of little things along the way for activity to do here. Love...
Read moreGreat place for toddlers, multiple playground for all ages, clean bathrooms an picnic bbw areas are close by. In the summer the splash pad an swimming pool provide fun activities and they also have a skate rink, along side tennis courts.
