Pine Woods Park — Attraction in City of North Tonawanda

I love pine woods disc golf course. The park is usually a little busy, but that's expected. Seems like a lot of people who are there for the picnics write bad reviews because of the disc golf course, but there are plenty of places you can go for a picnic, not as many disc golf courses. The course itself is much improved since they put the tee pads and signage in, but the teepads aren't amazing. Boxes filled with black top millings, you can see where people have decided to throw from off the boxes on the left or right. The teeboxes themselves could be a little sketchy if you're not careful.

Hearing happy sounds and supportive words is what it's all about. Then you see kiddos in strollers being walked at the park. Dog owners walking dogs. Bicyclists on the path....

Excellent staff, for a nice small park. We reserved a picnic shelter for an evening group event. It included 8 picnic tables, a grill, a kitchen, and bathrooms. The staff came over 30 minutes before our event and swept the shelter, wiped down the tables, put in new light bulbs, unlocked the kitchen, and cleaned and checked the bathrooms. The set up was great. There was a small parking area next to the shelter so we could drive right up, and it was surrounded by grassy areas where we played yard games. There was a nice children's playground a...
