I was determined to get a quick run in one morning. Drove to Embankment park for the first time…read more Found easy parking, a short walking distance to access the trail, and was on my way. Good running path, peaceful just right for me.

I *love* hiking my way to Great Embankment Park when I'm out walking to the canal. On a peaceful…read moreday when the weather is on your side, it's a great place to hang and reflect. Sporting fields nearby are usually populated by soccer teams, softball players or folks playing frisbee catch with their pooch. On the canalside, you can catch families out for a stroll, plein air artists or couples walking hand in hand. It's a picture perfect location with a distinct view of the canal.

My 2.5 year old daughter's favorite park these days. The farmhouse theme with animal cutouts and a…read moresoundboard that makes animal noises (which she's actually scared of) is a nice touch. My daughter loves the two bridges, which she can manage well at 2.5 years of age. So I think this park is perfect for her. There's nothing that's too high, or requires too much climbing. Older kids might find it a bit boring though.

Such a terrific farm themed park with something for everyone! The soft play surface and ramps make…read moreit accessible for kids/adults of all abilities. They also have an accessible full support swing! The basketball court is the perfect spot to practice on a scooter or bike, lots of trees and benches surrounding the playground and a small trail leading right to the outdoor animal walk at Lollypop Farm. They also have a covered picnic area.

Bathroom facilities and grounds were clean. And who can resist a frozen custard ... I felt like I was a tourist as well. It is not only inviting to those traveling on the Erie Canal, but to those visiting the waterfront by car, bike & foot. Great canalway improvement project by the Town of Perinton for residents & tourists alike!

I haven't had to leave a subpar rating in so long!…read more We came here for the trail, because the photos we found online looked beautiful. It's about 2 miles long and sounded like a perfect fit! We were sorely disappointed. At first I wasn't even sure that the trail WAS the trail. There was a sign clearly pointing it out, but the beginning was rocky, severely uneven, and overgrown. Okay! No problem. Maybe it was just a rough start? So we pushed on. But it got worse. You can tell that the land is often swampy, because they had a makeshift "boardwalk" laid out near the water. So mushy ground wasn't a problem. But the overgrowth got so bad that we opted to turn back after only about 10 minutes of walking. (See photos!) Based on our experience I would NOT recommend the trail, because it is not well maintained. But I did snap a picture of the lodge and the pavilion on the way out, and those seemed nice. So I gave it 2 stars for that!

It was about 5 miles long and had wonderful views. It has beautiful bridges and walking paths so you weren't walking in mud. Lots of nature views! Some of the trail goes behind some houses but it isn't terrible and is for a short stretch of the hike. The dogs absolutely love it. There are even sections were you can go up to the canal and the dogs can go swimming. Definitely coming back here sometime soon.
