The park is spacious, with a ball diamond nearby and an area with sheltered picnic tables. There is plenty of green space, yet the area is accessible. It's fun to go to the library before or after so the little ones can get their energy out!

My 2 year old daughter loves the playground here, as does my 7 year old nephew. They have gliders, slides, swings, and an old fashioned merry-go-round (the non-electrical type).

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.

This park has lots of well-maintained grassy areas, good climbing trees, and a path to see the Falls, making it a great park to check out, especially considering that it's free! There's also a dog park located here, bathrooms, picnic tables in a covered pavilion, and charcoal grills.

The bathrooms are pretty well kept and didn't smell like outhouse when we visited like so many other playground bathrooms do, at least as far as the ladies room went. There's some paths for walking or biking that looked flat and smooth enough for blading as well. There's a big soccer field. They have a couple movie nights in the summer. There's also a small Santa's cottage that's open multiple days and times in December. Great park overall.

However there was still more than enough parking (2+ lots) and so many seating options with or without shade- chairs, tables, benches, pavilions, etc. The water was cold and the general temp was a few degrees colder than our house, maybe because it's near the lake. However it didn't stop the kids from playing full throttle. It would be even better during the heat of the afternoon. The Splashpad had areas for all ages and comfort levels- intense bucket dumps and little tiny sprinkle mist areas and everything in between. Perfect for any ages, and it is fully fenced off from the playground. The playground didn't change much, they added some new accessible equipment, however I'd say the ideal age for this playground is 3+. Bathrooms are unisex, clean at the moment, and have changing tables. The diversity here and people watching opportunities are endless the giant Buffalo fountain is majestic. Anyways, we will be back!

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!

The road within the park could use a lot more than temporary tar and a shovel of stuff that does NOT stay long before the potholes return. They should do it correctly and right, when they consider the crowds that frolic and play here. There isn't even true permanent bathroom facilities here till last year sometime, when temporary facilities were installed. A lot of investment and work is needed here before the park sinks into the sunset. Park is closed after sunset so don't even think of coming here to enjoy the Milky Way or meteor showers, etc. Police will come chase you off.
