"Dog days of Kenmore" was held this park this past Sunday at Mang Park in Kenmore, New York. What a…read morepleasant surprise! It's a lovely park with picnic shelters, playground areas, tennis and Pickleball courts. Large green lawn that spans three blocks. Mang Avenue on the south side. I believe there's a swimming pool there in the summer months as well. I was there for the special event that brought all the dog lovers together. And of course, dog related vendors. I will definitely come back to this park which is located between Military Road and Elmwood Avenue in Kenmore.

I love Mang Park! It's not the biggest park, and it doesn't have an abundance of trails, but it has…read moreplenty of local charm! There are a few shelters, and a lot of picnic tables and benches to sit at. There are two playground areas, with swings and slides, and some monkey bars. There are a two pools. There is a nice tennis court, a basketball court, and plenty of grass to play soccer or frisbee. There is a cute little path that you can walk through the park, but the real fun is when you venture out and walk around Kenmore. It's a great little neighborhood. Peaceful and quiet. There is a 711 right behind the park if you need snacks or drinks, and a Rite Aid across the street from that. Definitely a fun place to bring the kids, walk, read, or play!

LA-Sale Park is out in California, and it's basically like a yard sale for movie stars and wannabe…read moreactors. So you can pick up all kinds of crazy things that you wouldn't find at a regular Yard Sale elsewhere in the country. Here in Buffalo, though, we have a beautiful waterfront park along the Niagara River, with grilling and soccer and a dog park and lots of gorgeous views and sunsets. If you squint, you can see the Maple Syrup across the water glinting in the Canadian sunlight. I play soccer here... but not too often because it is the worst field I've ever played on. However other than soccer, I come here because it's one of my fave spots anywhere in the city. You can see the towering shapes of Statler and City Hall across the thundering 190 highway and train track at one end of the park. You have the Barkyard and all kinds of interesting buildings at the other end. And then you have the beautiful waterfront and the pathway along it. Not always the cleanest, not always the safest area at night, but during the day, in the summer, it's stunning. I was here just 3 weeks ago for a soccer game actually. I'm not supposed to be playing, but my goodness, what fantastic views from here on a blue sky day. It's one of the best natural settings for a park in Buffalo. The park isn't always the cleanest, the soccer field is the worst in the region (possibly the country), and the driveways are full of enormous treacherous potholes, but just because of the location and the beautiful views, I have to give it a 5.

Great place to be! Did NOT know there was parking allowed in the park by the buildings. We walked…read morethrough the park on the one trail we found. A lot of work had been done just recently, as we saw Tree trunks and pieces moved from one spot to another to clear the trails. We got out to the baseball field then continued walking the trail. Outside the trails through the woods were a LOT of Flickers [woodpecker]. We've never been to any area where we saw so many flickers before on the Trees or ground. At one time there were seven of them on the ground! Be very careful because while we were deep within the woods, apparently I was bit by a wasp. Heard NO sign of wasps and we did NOT venture off the trail, but at one time within the first 20mins within the park, I was bit by something within my pants. Later at home I could see what was later identified as a wasp sting. I heard NO buzzing or anything, but apparently it got into my pant leg as I could feel something inside my trousers. Otherwise WE enjoyed being out in the Nature that is western New York and Pine Woods Park! I WAS disgusted to see that the woods trail and most of the open areas were littered with human filth and trash. Please everyone, YOU are part of the solution AND/or problem!! Please teach your kids to NOT litter! I put my trash while in the outdoors into my right back pocket, and when home or where there's an outdoor trash bin, it gets transferred to that. Also, kids learn from who they are with, or via their home environment, so if everyone around them trashes our parks, streets etc, then they will too. They learn from experiences. Please pick UP your trash or better yet, DO NOT LITTER OUR PARKS! I saw a lot of people walking their pets. I have seen a lot of pet owners at other western New York parks litter disgustingly with their pet poop. Either they leave the poop so YOU can step in it, or they pick it up, then when nobody is around, they throw it in bushes or leave their bag of pet poop in plain sight. IF you are a pet owner and do this, you are a disgusting person who should be fined, jailed and do community service picking up cigarette butts and dog poop off the streets! YOU should have your pet taken away and given to a true animal lover who will respect others, parks and other natural areas, and their pet, and NOT leave their poop out!

All the restrooms were mysteriously locked even though it's still summer, but there's a couple of port-a-potties. I wouldn't make a special trip, but it's a solid neighborhood park aside from the closed restrooms.

(We didn't realize that, while trying to find the place.) The path is about a mile. The park is well-maintained and there are three or four gazebos of varying size, if you'd like to have a picnic. There is a nice waterfall area that some people were swimming in. On the way back to the car, on the other end of the path, I noticed many beautiful birdhouses in the trees.

It was renamed in 1977. Sadly the park was partially destroyed to build the Kensington Expressway. Prior to that it was connected to Delaware Park. IN recent years the park has had some much needed renovation. The wading po0l is back in use and there is skating in the winter when the weather allows. The park does have the typical basketball courts, tennis courts and playgrounds one expects. There are nice picnic tables and plenty of shade. This is a park to think about as you plan a trip to the Science Museum. weather permitting, its a nice outdoor space with easy parking and well managed grounds.

The large soccer field in the center is perfect for practice as there is a large catch net behind the goal posts so you aren't chasing balls all over.

There is also a small pond where you can fish which is AWESOME. It's such a nice place to just take a walk or relax.

The room cooled down quickly. That was kind of upsetting with how much you pay to rent the space.

It is about a half mile from Williamsville East high school and is more of a neighborhood park. There are Pickleball courts and large fields. Very few trash cans which makes walking your dog and picking up after him a little unpleasant. The fields do not drain very well so if you show up after a recent rainfall, it's a bit soggy and very buggy. If the neighborhood has seen her dry spell, the park is very pleasant. When there are soccer games or other organized sports activities, the parking spaces fill up quickly. There are no bathrooms at this park.

Negatives: - Basketball court is in horrible condition. Time to fix this one up. Overall: - Come here for the Pickleball. Otherwise, there are better parks in the town. The pickleball courts alone warrant the 4 stars.
