There's a small splash pad with high streaming water that I sometimes play in with others. Yes, im very much a big kid at heart. Im not impressed with the swing set section but there is one there with a tetter totter across from it. There is a track that circles this section of the park. It's great for short walks or when watching ure steps for exercise. There's much more additional space of the park across the street where they hold football and cheerleading practices as well as games. The back end of the park also holds football games. What I don't like about the park is that it isn't cleaned well or often. I have seen the city parks dept "cleaning" this park on several different occasions. It literally was astounding how they purposely left trash. I said something to them once about how I've seen people come dump their trash there and how it's great we have them to make sure it's clean for park goers. Interestingly enough as I did my steps around the park repeatedly they cleaned it well that day. Go figure.

This used to be called Shilling Park because it was purchased for a shilling from the Brits. Then…read moreit changed its name to Shelley Park because Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein while sitting in this park. Finally it became known as Thriller Park in honour of the highest selling album of all time, released in 1982 by Michael Jackson. Finally, they combined all of those names to make what it is today. Schiller Park is a great place to play soccer, it's a nice field and I have lots of good memories from here. It might be a bit better than Bakos, just down the road, because it's a little bit cleaner. One thing I don't like about it is that the Cheektowaga Police seem to think it's fun to pull people over right next to this park all the time, it's right on the border between Buffalo and Cheektowaga, and it's a very black neighborhood, and every single car they seem to pull over on this street has a black driver. Not very heartwarming to see that kind of profiling going on... plenty of cars with white drivers come down this street too... I've seen about 20 cars with black drivers pulled over here... zero with white drivers. But I digress... it's an excellent place to play and I give it the top rating.

There isn't really any seating .. a couple of benches and picnic tables. You have to bring your own chair in. They cut the "field" in half for the younger kids (referring to soccer here because that's what I come here for) and this results in balls from other games going on coming onto each other's playing fields. The worst part of this place is that smells like sweaty .. ummm .. "soccer" balls. As soon as you walk in the smell hits you in the face. I smell it every time I come in and I want to throw up. The turf is nice. I will say that.

I am incredibly disappointed with this YMCA location. I moved to Buffalo a few months ago and…read morecalled this location to verify that I could have a Family Plan YMCA membership with my mother in another state. They said yes of course, and so we purchased the Family Plan. I came here to exercise a few times each month (prefer outside when able) and when I went last week I was told I could not exercise due to my Family Plan not being accepted. The lady at the front desk told me they don't allow the Family Plans for individuals long term and "The City of Buffalo prefers to have its YMCA members all paid members to the Buffalo YMCA, instead of a Family Plan" and she then said she would "let me exercise today free of charge as a curtesy but I have to sign up for an individual plan and unenroll in my active Family Plan" To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. The whole reason we enrolled in the family plan was because we were told ahead of time via phone call that that was accepted and then I continued to exercise at this YMCA with no problems up until last week.

I am very pleased my family signed up at the Y…read more It's very difficult finding things for kiddos to do in Buffalo winter. This facility has an excellent "daycare" and playground for kids to enjoy at while adults workout. The only bummer is they cap the number if kids at 30 (which is understandable). But with all the New Year's resolution folks flocking to the gym, this has caused my son and I to wait for more kids to leave before he can enter. My only other complaint is the gym equipment is a little older than say an Esporta. And there isn't enough room near the free weights. Beyond that everything is great. Facility is clean. The pool is nice. Tons of other to-dos like a hot tub, basketballs courts and sauna. It's not expensive to join. I suggest looking at their schedule which is consistently updated to see if the amenities you require are open.

We had a group of about 15 people and we were the only ones there. They have a nice pool and pool house that opens next week. I'm sure the place will be much more crowed then! Besides that there's a picnic pavilion, a small walking path, and large parking lot. Not a big place to explore, actually very small, but nice for our purpose. I'm sure in the summer the pool is the big draw. Will need to go back to get more pictures.

The pool is great for the kids; they took lessons there and what a dedicated staff of young people that did a wonderful job instructing! From leery of the water to jumping in over a matter of a few classes, it was so good to see this development over a few short weeks. There are swings for siblings to enjoy or other playground equipment for fun. The fenced off pool area has plenty of grassy seating beyond, mostly bring your own chair, but a few benches. The locker rooms were a bit aged and could use an update. The park is a nice place to hang out!

I thought that this location was called The R.O.C.K as the sign out front says but every time I search it on maps it says the Buffalo Niagara Court Center. The inside is very spacious and plenty of room for lots of people. When you first walk in there is a lobby with a couple smaller businesses inside that are sports related. They also have a concession stand which every time I am there isn't opened. I only go for my kids volleyball camps. The volleyball courts are really nice and large. Plenty of room to play multiple games at once plus have plenty of seating for guests to watch. My kids and myself enjoy coming here and learning about volleyball.

This review is only intended to review the playground at Delaware park…read more I took my little cousins to go to the playground here since it is within walking distance from their home. If you are not aware the playground is located behind the zoo opposite of the zoo parking lot. It's a smaller playground but it is great for younger kids. It's usually pretty busy which is nice so the kids can make friends and interact with each other. For being such a large park I do wish the playground was a little bigger. There is plenty of space for a larger park. Just something for the park association to consider!

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.
