My family and I were taking a day trip to Niagara area and Buffalo. We spent the afternoon and…read moreevening in Niagara Falls in July a couple years back. We have previously done the ferry (Canada side) years ago when I was a kid. We were just walking around the park because we never been the American side. The observation area, ferries and gift shop were pretty busy, especially during long weekends and holidays. The park has the 2 of the 3 Falls (the 2 smaller ones). I kind of feel like the park sort compensates for having the 2 smaller falls. It was a little bit glummy when we visited but was nice to visit the American side of the falls. The pathway and trails were well maintained and wide enough that you don't feel crowded. The park felt quiet and less busy but well visited once you were walking around.

Very impressed with Niagara Falls State Park. Came on a hot and busy Tuesday afternoon. Parking is…read morehard to come by on the street, so we paid to use a garage. The park was vibrant and full of visitors. I was impressed with the overall cleanliness of the park, as well as clear signage and displays for all the attractions. The highlight to me was the new visitor center. I believe the last time I tried the visitor center was 2019 and upgrades have been made. It's so modernized and attractive. Many clean bathrooms to use, lots of interactive displays, a cafe, and gift shop. You can tell a lot of money went into improving this place. I also liked that there were so many public restrooms available throughout the park and seating options including picnic tables and benches. We also saw lovely hanging baskets throughout the park. Everything looked so good and well maintained. A great park for a day trip. Make sure to check out the maid of the mist at least once!

Besides that, there's also a nice walking path that goes through a pretty area. Decent walking today but saw spots that might be a bit muddy during wetter weather. Definitely not a hard walk though.

There's also a large building which I presume are public restrooms. There's some grassy area to picnic too. However it seems most people come here just to park, then ride their bike on the bike path. Part of the bike path runs along the water. There's also boat storage for the UB rowing team here. I'd recommend coming here to picnic, briefly checkout the view, or bring your bike and enjoy the bike path.

The fountain, which was redone in 2002, operates in the Spring, Summer, and Fall and has a pleasing sound. There are flower beds around it, and the stone is all from the original quarry of the Buffalo Cement Company, owned by Mr Bennett, who donated this parkland to the city in the 1800's. The Buffalo Cement Co was on the East side if Main Street and part of the quarry is still visible driving on Amherst towards Bailey. When he gave it, it was unnamed, and there was a working fountain. That fountain was taken down in the 1920's and the center area filled with small pine bushes, offering a great place for youngsters to play and hide for many decades. When the fountain was redone in 2002 the flower beds were put in and requests to stay off the stones put up. It was named in the 1960s for F Bredan Burke, a Central park occupant. It remains a gathering place for many people in the neighborhood. The Central Park Association maintains it. If you happen upon this in your travels, its a lovely spot to sit for a time.

What has happened to this lovely spot? No garden or fountain or lawn care this summer. Very sad.read more

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.

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!
