Rochester Parks

Pappas Park

Unique landscape for Beverly Pappas Park This is just one of Greece’s neighborhood parks, but certainly one of the more unique among them. The shape the of the park is something like an uppercase L. The topography is even more interesting: the park is somewhat of a valley with the bulk of the park being [...]

Griffith Park

Pittsford Parks

Open field Just a mile away from Route 490 in Pittsford is a park that isn’t really identified officially: Griffith Park. According to the Town Board minutes, the Town of Pittsford met with residents to discuss the establishment of Griffith Park in May of 2000. In July of 2000, it was resolved that the town [...]

Great Embankment Park

Pittsford Parks

Beautiful Canal Park Of all the canal parks, Great Embankment Park does not fail to impress. The park is one of Pittsford’s most beautiful parks, mostly because of the three athletic fields and the attention given to them. While Rochester Parks visited this park, a maintenance crew was hard at work mowing the baseball fields and lining [...]

Joshua Park

Irondequoit Parks

Joshua Park was formerly called Irondequoit Plaza Park. It was renamed in 2005 when a young boy, Joshua Rojas, passed away during a soccer practice. At the time, it was unsure why this happened. The family describes that 18 weeks after this tragedy, a rare genetic defect was discovered that proved to be the cause [...]

Badgerow Park North

Greece Parks

George W. Badgerow held the office of Town Supervisor in Greece from 1965 to 1969. As the town of Greece is wont to do, they named a park after him. The entire park is about 66 acres, one of the larger parks in Greece. Here we’ll be reviewing Badgerow Park North and after a future [...]

Adeline Park

Greece Parks

Greece only has a few parks that offer as much as Adeline Park. This could be due to the fact that many of the parks in Greece are in somewhat-isolated areas or in semi-commercial areas. Adeline Park sits smack in the middle of a huge residential area. When I visited this park on a cool [...]

Sawyer Park

Greece Parks

Sawyer park is definitely one of those parks that you need to visit. There are a handful of things that make the park unique, least of which is not the 9-hole disc golf course cleverly tucked between the trees and along the creek. From the panorama above you can see the larger attractions to Sawyer Park. [...]

Grandview Park

Greece Parks

Grandview Park is the place to go if you live in North Greece. Of the three parks I visited on this evening, Grandview was (by far) the most attractive and the hardest to tear my kids away. Set between Long Pond and Cranberry Pond, Grandview Park is just off of Lowden Point Road, just this [...]

Goodwin Park

Greece Parks

Goodwin Park is one of the smallest parks in all of Greece. At just under 2 acres, this park sits runs along a small canal that links Lake Ontario to Long Pond. I can imagine this park might actually see some use from time to time, but when I went there were only a few [...]

Henpeck Park

Greece Parks

History runs deep at Henpeck Park Henpeck Park, as the information billboard states is “home to a non-motorized boat launch, picnic area and Erie Canalway Trail.” Literally, that’s all this park has: a boat launch, a few picnic tables and charcoal barbecues and access to the Erie Canalway Trail. That doesn’t make this a bad [...]
