The falls is beautiful, lots of places to sit and quietly read, explore or just relax around the whole park. The trails are to steep for roller blades unless your an experienced rider. There's big fish in the water by the bridge. We walked over the bridge and found this creek where people were fishing and just walking trails. It was a nice place to explore for people looking for a nice short walk because it's not a big park like Niagara Falls and its quite,not a bunch of kids or noisey activities. It's very manageable. Parking on both sides, but it is hard to find parking on the Main Street side. Maybe grab an ice cream at the shack I saw off main street and then walk the park. There's also a hammock in the middle part of the park for people to enjoy but I'm sure you'd have to get there early or wait your turn. The sign says NO DOGS ALLOWED but I did see people walking their dog. Me and my boyfriend had a good time.

This park is right in the middle of Williamsville, and follows the channel of Ellicott Creek across the Niagara Escarpment. While some might complain about the man-made creek walls near Main Street, it's important to recognize the historic importance of the water power of the creek for 19th century industry in this area. The falls, right at the edge of the escarpment, are the highlight of the park, but looking at the lower section of the park, there's a pond and some relaxing glades, with plenty of shade trees and a good number of benches to sit on. Just a note for those with mobility issues: While there is a ramp to get from the upper to lower creek areas, I think it's far steeper than an ADA ramp. There's a nice parking area off of Glen Ave for the lower park, and parking behind the library (across Main Street) for the upper area if you know you will want to be in one area or the other.

This is such a beautiful and calming park! The sound of the water falling and flowing is strong enough to drown out other sounds. The park is easily walkable is most spots, but there are a few hills, so a sturdy shoe may be better if an inclined walk is difficult for you. Free parking was about 3-5 minutes away from the waterfall. Highly recommend for an picnic or a quick break in the day.

Beautiful location in the middle of the town. No parking and only walk in. I would love to live in a place like that where there is a waterfall right in the middle but I am from NYC where there isn't scenery like this. Buffalo is very beautiful and picturesque. Saw deer for the first time in my life too. They literally walk into your backyard. How awesome and cool is that?

This is a beautiful park right in the middle of Williamsville, many of the buildings surrounding are more than 200 years old. It's called Glen Falls for the waterfalls that can be seen from Main St. but park is diverse in scope and spans several streets with multiple parking lots. Also check out Island Park, which is on the other side of Street from Glen Falls.

There is something so tranquil and beautiful about Glenn Falls in Williamsville, NY. The roar of the Falls, the old red farm house, the ponds, and the paths that wind around the grounds. It's a great place to get back to nature, and get lost in thought as you check out of the hustle and bustle of the world for a moment.
