Glen Park — Attraction in Town of Amherst

A pocket of pastoral calm right IN the city!! Come and relax, meditate, or picnic. Let the kids run and play on grass, hills and yes,DIRT trails, collect pine cones- no see-saw or swings, it’s a Nature Park.

No dogs, bikes, rollerblading, or horses (yes, the signs include horses), but you can readily walk or roll from the accessible parking spaces all the way down, to sit by the falls.

OMG - I didn’t start this review with the falls ?

You can’t play and truly enjoy the beauty and serenity of waterfalls at Niagara but here in Williamsville, you get the beauty AND the utility of a real park perfect for friends or families.

Bring a blanket, bread and cheese to share with that special someone ( sorry, no wine or alcohol) and listen to the water burble and crash in the rocks.

If you don’t like this park, I will personally refund your admission fee. (As of today, it’s free, but if you didn’t smile there, I’ll send you TWO smiles from the many it gave me)

Check it out and join the GLEN PARK fan club... is that a real thing? If not, it should be. If you do decide to sponsor a paving stone on the walkway, you will get no discount for mentioning STARLIFT when you do, but if you help support and maintain this Willliamsville wonder, we both...

Beautifully Scenic & Serene shaded Park !! ♿️ accessible with a warning! - the Main St entrance (under the arch sign) is at the top of the falls, and is a steep (for ♿️) path, winding HILL down into the park! **Highly suggest ♿️s enter from the side st on the North side of park, that runs between the 2 sections of the park BEAUTIFUL landscaped park that runs alongside of the Falls & river that is mostly shaded, winding walking paths with lots of greenery, trees & flora, a few little ponds, ducks & birds, that is a perfect escape for a piece of relaxing serenity in a very busy, centrally located commercial area. Lots of little enjoyable shops, stores, restaurants & more to visit in this area of town, perfect for exploring by foot, jogging or leisurely walks. Seating benches scattered throughout to read a book, watch the wildlife & relax while listening to the Falls. We went for the annual Summer Arts Festival weekend, so i can't comment about parking, bathroom availability or other amenities for a...

I'm not quite sure what to say about Glen Park. While it is a nice Town Park it's not what it was when I was a kid. Years ago they had small amuse amusement rides for kids like me and you could get tickets for free out of the newspaper everyday. All the neighbors would save the tickets for my mother because we had 10 kids. The Glen Park Art Festival this weekend was a lot of fun and I would attend again I especially enjoyed the folk music played in the four to five hour by Jim Robert Kibby if you ever get a chance to hear him play do it. The the park is nice to walk around and you can walk down the stairs and look...
