Davis Park (West Entrance) — Attraction in Town of Chili

Davis Park in Chili, NY (Rochester area) is an absolute community cornerstone. That it isn’t just a park, it’s a community hub where you can feel how much pride people take in making it welcoming and fun.

I visited during Chili Family Fun Day in the fall (9/27/25), and it was such a fantastic event for kids and families. Child friendly; pony rides, hayrides, bounce houses, cornhole, a kids’ coloring contest, goat feeding, and even a table of free books (which I thought was such a thoughtful touch for families). Everywhere you looked, kids, teens, parents, and older neighbors were laughing and connecting. The live music and doughnut trucks were also nice touches. The event admission and activities were at no cost and open to the public.

One of the highlights for me was talking with Tony and his colleague from the Parks Department (Tom, they were running the hayride). Both were incredibly informative and clearly care deeply about the park and the community it serves. It’s rare to see that much pride and passion behind the scenes.

Even outside of special events, Davis Park is a wonderful spot. There’s lots of open space, a well-kept playground, and it’s perfect for kids to run around, families to picnic, or just to get some fresh air.
