This park, on a lot of social media sites came highly recommended. My boyfriend and I are both avid…read morenature lovers, and enjoy checking out different parks. Very picturesque, quiet, and tranquil, it was nice as we were the only ones there later in the day. We did a little exploring with it being winter , walked along the bike path, opposite end of the boardwalk, on Lake Ontario that turns into the Genesee River trail. I can imagine the hiking, wildlife, view and bike riding to be magnificent in the spring, summer and fall. It amazed me personally too see a coyote;on a winter day, guess you never know what you will see in nature. Coming from Buffalo, where we have a lot of great parks as well, this was worth the drive and a stop to explore. We did check out the structures from an old shipping yard that were still there . Look forward to checking the park out in warmer weather.

Ample amount of parking. Closes at 10pm which was a shocker to me. I love when I see the parents letting their kids play in the water. Not on their iPads and out in nature burning energy. Good job to them! There's only a couple spots that I can see it being a problem if you arent able to move around well

Near Rochester, right off a highway, Corbett's Glen is very easy to get to. It's located inside a…read morequaint neighborhood (expect to walk behind houses at points along the hike), and is very well-maintained. We started on the wood-area of the park, walking toward the creek and water falls at the Glen itself. The round trip of the hike was just a sliver more than 2 miles but it was an easy hike, with just two sections of up/down hill-climbing. Very beautiful and picturesque, with an amazing tunnel under the Amtrak tracks. Very much recommended for a short, morning hike if you don't mind the drive out.

This place can get busy especially in the summer months, lots of hiking, playground, basketball and tennis courts. Over the years I've played in some adult softball leagues. Lots of fun . Parking can sometimes be chaotic, there's a few smaller lots along the street. Family friendly park with a few lodges to rent. They have a few events and festivals held here too.

On the upper portion of the park is the actual walking trail, which is a really well worn out path and very easy to walk (though I wouldn't consider it accessible to those in wheelchairs, etc). There isn't really anything to *see* at the end... it just kind of ends... but then you turn around and walk back. Honestly, my dog was more than happy to explore the entirety either way. :) I do have to remove one star because their bathroom facilities aren't great. At the time of my visit, the women's restroom was completely clogged - and the men's room was basically a single stall. :-/ TL;DR Really enjoyable park and I'll definitely be back in the future.

My Aunt & Uncle recommended this playground in Webster Park while we were in town visiting…read more I saw a sign saying that this playground was dedicated to a little boy named Jack who passed away in 2016 at the age of 3. (So sad) Jack's Place is such an awesome playground! The recommended age range is 5-12. There are so many neat aspects of it including some unique spinning "rides", numerous slides, swings, lots of places to climb and a rubberized digging zone. There are a few benches around for the adults. Our kiddos had so much fun here! Highly recommend!

Plenty of field and a couple of picnic tables. I don't recommend eating there based on our experience yesterday. We were invaded by what looked like fruit flies times 1,000. It literally rained bugs on us at the picnic table within one minute of sitting down so we booked it out of there and ate down the street another playground before returning. There are a few different activities for the kids, some the same as the location in Penfield such as the sand pit (here it's rubber), the big standup spinner, and the signature dinosaurs. Plenty to keep the kids happy. My kids loved it here!

It is one of those special places that just feel distinctively "Rochester" while also feeling like maybe you've found some type of escape portal. BEWARE the photographers taking picture of local juniors in high school! Senior pics in the wild! Anyways, the sunken garden is a little hidden and not on the main path of Highland park. You go beyond the highland bowl then BOOM. If you can find a quiet time to drop by, it is amazingly peaceful and serene. You can take a walk through the entire highland park neighborhood after, or enjoy a picnic on the grass near highland bowl. Overall, a great ROC institution that's great for photos but also maybe just put your phone away and enjoy the view!

I feel like it's been forever since we've been hiking! Saw the reviews for Mendon Ponds Park, and…read moredecided it was the one. We stumbled a little bit trying to find where the trails started. Initially we were following an online map, but we stopped at the park office to grab a paper copy for easier navigating. The park office is definitely not what I expected - it was a bit neglected, and nobody was there. I was hoping there'd be someone to talk to! Maybe they're just not in on Sundays. So off we went with our paper map! Lots of beautiful buildings - we really enjoyed the cobblestone house. Tree lined paths. Parking lots placed in convenient places. There was a cute little playground by the largest pond, and my daughter really enjoyed the abundance of lily pads. We were already feeling exhausted due to the heat by the time we found a trail entrance, but the trail itself was nice. There were teal colored trail markers nailed to the trees along the way, although the path itself was pretty straightforward until the turnaround. According to the map it should have circled back but there was a sign there for private property, so we hiked back the way we came instead. They had some absolutely gorgeous looking shelters. I'm not sure what the price point is, but it would be a great place for gatherings. Beautiful and peaceful, even if a little bit confusing our first time there. We will definitely be going back again (on a cooler day) to explore some more!
