This is a tough one. Do I keep the knowledge to myself or not? But the right thing to do is to…read moreshare, and Holley Falls Park is worth sharing. If I could summarize the experience at Holley Falls in one word, this would be it: carpooling. Yes, there are a few spots at the base of the waterfall, but they fill up fast. If you're going with others, make sure you share a ride because if you don't, you'll be using valuable hiking time trying to find somewhere to park. I can't even imagine how crowded it can get if someone's having a party or any kind of event. Since you're next to the canal, and the waterfall is basically runoff, get ready for muddy trails. I didn't get stuck or too muddy, but I can imagine it being worse after a rainy day. It's not the worst uphill hike I've ever been on, but it's a good workout nonetheless. You can get pretty close to the falls from some spots on the trail. If you're like me and afraid of getting too close, you still get a good view from further back. There's spots for fishing, plenty of spots for just sitting around, and an overall sense that the park is well maintained. I'll happily return to Holley for a visit to the falls again. It's easy to get to from Rochester and the fresh air is worth the drive. Just make sure you share a ride if you can, you don't want your amazing day eaten up by looking for a parking spot!

If you feel like you're being courageous, and you want to give it a shot you'll most likely caroom off the edge of the hill at the bottom into a swampy wet area and you'll get soaked. 4 years ago, I broke my ankle in two different spots and I had to go to the ER because I hit a lnicy ramp and I landed awkwardly.

I honestly was not even sure it was a public park at first because it seemed more like a decked out backyard! It's small, but it's packed FULL of goodies for the kids. It's got monkey bars, balance beams, a seesaw (I haven't seen one of those in forever), and a swingset, complete with two regular swings and two bucket seat swings with harnesses. My daughter really loves those! There is also a path and a stairway right up to the Erie Canal, so you can walk the path there. I love everything about it, so quaint!

But it's right next to the canal trail, so that makes up for the blip! It has THREE playgrounds. They're all fun and different. The biggest (and best, I'd dare to say) has a "jungle theme", giant playable instruments, and a splash pad. Picnics tables are strewn about all over the place, it has a little pond, a gazebo, baseball diamonds (I counted at least four), a place to play soccer, and ice hockey too, when it's in season, and disc golf! WOW! And it's all in impeccable shape. I definitely plan to come here in the future when the splash pad is actually up and running (I hear they turn the water on around Memorial Day)! Such a fantastic place to come and have a picnic, hang out while the kids play, or relax under a tree with a blanket and a book. Don't miss checking this one out!

The loops are not wide streets and it was a little tight to get out of our spot with a 28' and extended cab truck. If there were another camper parked across from us we wouldn't have been able to get out. Laundry on site and the store had tons of snacks. Past the old basketball court (across from section D) is a wandering nature trail/Maze. Staff that we interacted with were friendly and quick. Really quiet and peaceful place to stay for 2 weeks. Walmart is within 20 minutes if you need anything. Check out the Circle R farm store right down the street, too!

They have a…read morecouple playgrounds for kids, but the real draw is two separate and challenging disc golf courses. Plus camping is offered for people who want to make a weekend of it, a marina/boat launch, and lots of spots for fishing. Both disc golf courses are well kept with excellent signage and tee pads. They even have marks for the red tees which most courses ignore. There isn't much litter around either, which is either a testament to the park staff or a sign of how underutilized this park is. Either way, be sure to pack an extra layer of clothing in the car. We visited and the air temp a few blocks away from the park was 80 degrees. But at the park itself it was only 50. The breeze off of Lake Ontario can be very chilly!

I learned the park is 16 acres large and has been around since 1899! The old trees are a sight to see, and the area feels like you're right in nature. The playground is vast and somewhat outdated, but the kids don't seem to mind. Many events take place here, too, including performances by the Aurora Players Theater and the Rotary Bandstand. Cars aren't allowed, and parking is limited; you might have to find parking on one of the side streets. I noticed there are restrooms too, and a couple of picnic shelters. Leave your beer, your dog and your snowmobile at home; they're not allowed, along with some other items you might want to look up before venturing out. It's a great public park and worth a stopover to relax and enjoy nature on one of the benches or bring a picnic and enjoy your time at one of the picnic tables. Truly, something for everyone.

There is also a stage in the park that features both free theatrical productions and ticketed productions. Check out Aurora Players for that information.

It is a little tricky to find and negotiate where the best views are, which I think is what keeps people away and maybe slightly intimidated. I took on this park after exploring the Maplewood Rose Garden, and found that jaunt to be perfectly doable, if you're thinking about making an afternoon of it. When I was there, we took some time to explore the artwork, which includes some great and unbiased pieces about Rochester's past. We hopped a small railing to get up close and personal with the falls, which provides a great view. If I am remembering correctly there are some tents and a community making their home in this part of the park, so just be aware of that. I highly recommend taking your next park trip to Lower Falls!
