What makes it 83% Solo-Friendly: The park offers long paved and wooded trails for jogging, benches for reading, free events and safe parking, letting solo travelers spend flexible, low-cost time outdoors.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for solo trip: Allows time to run trails, fish the pond, and unwind by the memorial.
Jog the Multi-Use Trails:
Run or walk up to 1.7 miles on paved loops around woods and pond.
Tip: Start at Grauer Road entrance early to avoid traffic and enjoy cooler air.
Explore Forest Stone-Dust Paths:
Follow 7,000 ft of shaded trails for quiet nature viewing and birdwatching.
Tip: Bring binoculars and tread lightly to spot songbirds in the understory.
Catch-and-Release Pond Fishing:
Fish from the boardwalk over the seven-foot-deep pond with your own rod.
Tip: Catch-and-release is free; no NY license needed if you don’t keep fish.
Relax with a Book or Sketchpad:
Find a bench by the water or stroll onto the boardwalk to read or draw.
Tip: Choose a mid-morning slot when light reflects off the pond for best views.

Tip: Check the Town of Niagara website for exact event dates and times.

So much to do at the park. There are lots of upgrades to the park. We hold a lot of fault celebrations here. In the summer they hold free summer music concert series, there's a kids splash pad & small playground, mini golf, soccer & baseball fields, a community center that can be rented, walking paths around the fishing pond & a nature path that goes into a small wooded area. The veterans memori...

This town park has it all! A playground, splash pad, mini golf (small fee), a fishing pond, walking paths, and places to picnic. In the summer, there is a weekly free concert series on Monday evenings.

Beautiful looking park with lots of different activities to do while you are there. They have a pond for fishing, swings, playground, water pad, volleyball, walking paths, pavilions and picnic tables. Everything looked to be in great clean working order. Cannot wait to watch a concert here this summer. Keep up the great work.
June–August splash pad runs daily; free Music Mania Mondays and Movies Under the Stars start at dusk—arrive 15 minutes early for good seating.
