Rochester Riverfront Park — Attraction in Rochester

I grew up at this park, my family and I have been members of the Friends of the riverfront for almost 30 years. It's one place that can make you feel at home...

Picnic table was a nice surprise...made from composite materials so it hadn't been destroyed by graffiti or decay. Benches were also in great shape, although next time I think I'll take a cushion. They're a bit hard. 😁 We left earlier than planned because of the excess noise. Not a bad couple of hours, but we'll look for someplace a bit quieter for our next...
