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!

There's another Jack's Place playground in Webster Park at the corner of Holt and Lake Rd. The…read moreplayground is really nice. It looks new and is in a great location near the lake on warm days. 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!

The trails would be very buggy in the spring and summer and I'd recommend bug spray for sure. I loved the different trails and how they went through different types of forest land. The pond was very nice and relaxing and a lot of care went into the overall design of this place. There is a large number of benches and places to rest and enjoy the serenity of nature. Nice visit, I'd come again if I was in the area!

Took a Sunday walk to Farmington Park for some tennis and sunshine! Overall: a fine park to spend…read moreyour afternoon. Tennis courts are really beautiful and don't seem to get a ton of use. I had pretty much steered clear of this park since the curb appeal is well...suspect (RG&E zone blocks the park from Farmington St). There is a bit of a litter problem in this park and it is in need of some pretty basic updates. The baseball diamond takes up the majority of the park and there is some lovely shade and greenery just behind. There is a single hoop basketball court with picnic tables in the rear. There was a family kickball game going on during our visit which was super adorable, and I would love to come back and do the same with friends at some point, given the convenient location. It's walking distance from my house and a great spot to hone some tennis skills, so I will be back again soon! I would love to see some beautifications so people can really enjoy an entire afternoon as opposed to just stopping by.

Being a small town girl, I'm accustomed to cozy rural ballparks with kids underfoot, a snack bar…read moreand a playground. This is not that kind of park. The backdrop is a rather large RG&E power station and some older houses on the edge of the city. But with that being said, it's actually a quaint little setup. The baseball field is spacious and fairly well maintained. There is a nice tennis court and a small picnic area. The ball field bleachers are even in pretty good shape, which is a big plus for wooden bleachers. On the downside, the fencing around the perimeter is in pretty rough shape and there is a real shortage of parking.

Crittenden Park was 'developed' partly to prevent any development from occurring in this area…read more Having grown up on Crittenden Road in the 1960's/70's, much of the land in this area is lowland and 'swamp' like in spots, thus preventing any reasonable other use for the land. For years, this area was my 'playground'. My friends, siblings and I spent a lot of time walking all over this area along Crittenden Road which was a wilderness close to civilization. Appreciate this area for what it is: free open space for people to play, or to hike in the area and appreciate the extensive wildlife that calls this area 'home'. Beautiful, quiet, and little evidence of human occupancy. A nice reprieve in this overdeveloped world of ours.

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

a great staple to Irondequoit. I have a few memories of this place, mostly from when I was younger…read moretaking field trips with school or Girl Scouts. learned how to make candles and maple syrup, learned different things about nature of course and animals. They always keep some animals at the center itself and still do to this day (just not the exact same ones). I recently went back here, not just to donate my Christmas tree for their trails, but for a hike they scheduled with Irondequoit brewery. I haven't been around the trails or inside the center since I was a kid and it brought back so many fond memories. of course everything seemed smaller than I was remembering, but everything does as you get older. I enjoyed visiting the classroom and seeing the animal room learning about their newest ones, favorite being the bunny and owl. I felt quite nostalgic, but favorite part was going through the trails again. the guides were very knowledgable about the nature center, I even learned a few new things I didn't know about the land. especially that it use to be a grape farm. we did a sensory walk which was so nice to be able to focus on the sounds and sights of nature to get away from the busy life of the town. I wouldn't mind going back to these trails again since its so close to home and a short get away. they welcome people back to walk through at any time.

We came here for winter snowshoeing ($5/person for rentals, max $15/family, paid by cash or check)…read more It's from 1-3 on Saturdays as long as there's at least 6-8" of snow on the ground (check their Facebook for updates). There was ample parking, the person who helped us was nice and welcoming, and it's not very expensive. They have bins of snowshoes to choose from, sorted by weight/shoe size and the person is helpful in finding the right one for you. There are benches outside to put on/take off the snowshoes and there's a bit of a learning curve in figuring out how to do that, but it's part of the adventure. Unfortunately one of the straps on one of mine was broken, but it was still wearable and we got there at about 2:15 so I didn't want to take them both off to go inside and get a different pair. They give you a trail map, but I don't think the trails are very well-marked so the map is not super useful. Because you're surrounded by (well-signed) personal property on all sides, it doesn't feel like there is a lot of space. 45 minutes was really enough time for us (an adult couple). I don't know if we would come back here, but I think it was a good introduction to snowshoeing and we would check out another place next time. Definitely seems like a good family activity and they even have hot chocolate in the nature center!
