Small park with a couple of ponds, large grassy area, few paved walking trails, bathroom facilities. Bandstand / amphitheater - waiting for summer concert series to make it come alive! New parking lot - glad they finally paved a black top one. A muddy mess on a rainy day when you had to park your car on the grass - no more! A few benches to sit and enjoy the evening breeze and catch up with a dear, long time, friend tonight. We walked our dogs along the paved pathways. Several folks enjoying the warm evening outdoors sitting on folding chairs or blankets. Kids playing catch. Playground area on one side. A decent, clean, neighborhood park.

Bassett Park is a very small town park at the corner of Bassett and Klein Rd in Williamsville. The…read moremain feature of the park is a grandstand where a variety of different weekly concerts are held in the summer. The grandstand was expanded last year and at the same time the parking area was as well. The main occupants of the park seem to be ducks, geese, and what looks like a local school track team that can be seems frequently running around the park. A couple of years ago an art sculpture was placed in the park. I personally think it's placed too far back to be thoroughly enjoyed. To me it looks like kids 'pick up sticks', for those that remember them. It's suppose to be thought provoking and that's my thought. Come in the summer and check out the concerts!

There's also a covered pavilion and water access. There's also a nearby veteran memorial. I wouldn't make a special trip for this park, but if you're in North Tonawanda, it's worth a visit, especially if you have kids who like to swing.

You can see quite a distance up and down the river. There is a playground for the kids and a nice large covered area with picnic tables and a few grilles. There is a second covered area with more tables and grills with a small parking area near it. That one is near an area with access to the water. A nice local neighborhood park with actual fishermen this morning. 1778

This is the perfect park for parents of multiple kids. Splash pad is super fun- and gigantic. Lots…read moreof room for lots of kids. And the playground is directly opposite. So, as a parent or guardian, if you position yourself between the two locations, the kids can feel like they have free reign of themselves, and we know they simply have more leash than they normally get (and less than they think... hehehe).

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.

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.

When we (black) the people, try to gather in large numbers for festivities the police are called and it's shut down, this happens every year. Let us enjoy the park and stop assuming something horrible is going to happen when us black people are around. That's 100 percent odd and nefarious behavior and totally bias against us. Stop calling the police and lets us enjoy a birthday party and other fun gatherings. Thanks

When my husband and I were walking, there were a lot of kids playing basketball or little league in the fields. They didn't have a restroom accessible, but they had a porta potty next to the street.

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.

Positives: - Playground is in good shape…read more- Regulation Pickleball courts! They're in excellent condition. Nice option to have instead of Tennis, which is common elsewhere. 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.
