We have been to Glen Park a few times. But now that our son is running around, going to the park is…read morealways a new adventure. After having some ice cream, we went for a quick walk throughout the park. This park really is great. It is a little small but that also makes it so nice. No need for maps or worries of getting lost, it's perfect for a nice walk. My son loves looking for all the wildlife especially if there are any ducks or fish. Luckily for him, there are plenty of ducks around here. Another nice thing about this park is that it is very scenic for photography. There were a few different groups there doing what looked like senior pictures or photos before an event. Whether you're looking for a nice walk, scenic backdrop or just a quiet place to sit on a bench and think, this park has it all.

I had some free time on a Sunday morning while I was waiting for a family reunion. So, I looked on…read moreGoogle Maps for local parks to visit. This one caught my eye. I am amazed at how restful and beautifully maintained it is. The flowers were welcoming, the small waterfall enchanting, the trails curious and winding, and the wildlife amusing. I felt more relaxed and grounded after my visit than I have in a long time. The only negative was that someone was smoking weed on a park bench and the odor instantly turned me off. I'm sure smoking is not allowed, but I was chagrined that in this little section of The Garden of Eden someone would assume to make the place smell like a stoner's living room.

Interesting facts learned on fireflies: they like leafy dark areas, eat slugs, and snails and really lite up the park. Paved trail, not very long, perfect for quick walk or hike to explore the many trees. Family, everyone friendly.

It's a beautiful location. Nice and private dogs. Love it. And I would go by myself and spend the whole entire day there. Relaxing. I have nothing bad to say about the place the way it was. Like I said, I'm looking forward to coming there very very soon and I will post what I think

Such a let down after they renovated it for 2 years…read more I used to love sitting at a table in the shade with my book and watch my family bring our dogs down there to play and now I can't even do that because the tables and chairs are gone and they build up the rock wall around the beach. The beach is still inaccessible there are giant cement blocks so it's not a straight shot down for a wheelchair and the grass around them is very uneven and hilly like ground for a wheelchair to go over and I got stuck in the rocks and had to ask people to help push me out, then on the way back to the walk way (video I posted) my wheelchair was going to flip. There are small simple things that they could have been done, I've been to other beach's that have strips over the sand/ rocks that wheelchairs can ride over. The building looks nice they added a small golf course. To me it seems like all they did was build the restaurant and build up the rock walls especially around the beach.

The three elements of a successful Japanese garden design is: water, stone, and plants. This Japanese garden in Buffalo is a perfect example of a balanced Japanese garden. Around the end of April every year they have the Japanese blossom festival which is fun to go to. The Japanese garden is an exciting place to visit to relax, reflect, and have fun in the warmer days.

It's well maintained and if you're up for a hike you can walk along the path upstream and emerge at Glenn Park - short walk on paved trails along the falls to Main Street in williamsville- then you can eat at a delicious meal at a place like the Glenn Park Tavern (my next review) :)

Visitors really stay on top of their dogs. I didn't see a single pile. Or maybe all the dogs just become like those kids who get too caught up in playing to take a bio break.
