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!

I'm sorry, but I don't see why people love this place. It's tacky.

Oh, the park is right in front of the family restaurant. How convenient. Here are some details. The music they play constantly is way too loud. It gave me a headache. The music doesn't need to be that loud. The "displays" are incredibly cheesy. Sort of cartoonish. If you actually want to honor our service men and women, you should put a little more effort when creating these displays. It's also close to a very busy roadway.

You can see a variety of wildlife pond life, avian life, as well as so many different types of foliage. It was a nice peaceful walk on a flat path that was graveled and wide enough for many people to pass by each other without touching the foliage at the side of the path. There are many little offshoots towards the ponds that have a bench to sit on and watch and wile away the hours , if you choose. The pond lilies are plentiful and beautiful pink color many of which are blooming right now and the end of July.

A small brook and a pair of picturesque walkway/bridges are the highlights of this wilderness…read moretrail. But let me emphasize the "wilderness" part of the trail name; it's not as well maintained as some hiking trails you'll find in WNY. From the start, it was clear this was a hidden secret of the area. With no parking lots at the trailhead, parking was limited to a small cleared area alongside the road. This space was only large enough for about three vehicles. Getting into the woods, the ground was uneven and rocky, and any trail markings became lost or confusing. Trails were overgrown with tall foliage, and poison ivy and poison oak encroaching and often crossing the trails. This said, however, the well-constructed benches, the bridges, and numerous signs about the local wildlife did demonstrate that this trail had at one point been lovingly built. Be prepared. Wear appropriate footwear. Mind where you step. And keep an eye on the brook so you know which trails to follow. It is not a difficult hike, but it is more rough than was expected. Mostly due to the need for maintenance on a few of the supposedly marked trails.

Just don't expect a long walk akin to, say, the Town of Lockport Nature Trail. The highlight for us was the cat tails (or corn dogs, according to my sons) and the turtles. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

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!
