Wow!!! What a place to chill!!! See sunset, have some food, enjoy biking, walk, perfect for me time, us time or party. Speedboat and water bikes. Good place to enjoy.
Water front is a beautiful place full of energy not only from the people but the beauty of the river can find your self lost between nature your peers its quite a destination brings many walks of life from young to elders and even your four legged friends beautiful place to be and catch the action.
Its a beautiful clean Park and my dog tylo
This place has a track for jogging, walking, biking, and skating/skateboarding. There are places to sit and barbecue. The view of the Niagara River is relaxing. The overall experience was very good.
Great park. Seems to always have a lot of people when Im there. Theyre always very friendly considering it being busy. Wear sunscreen!
Amazing park. The park has a long river side trail with stunning scenic beauty. You can do fishing here, enjoy lunch with your family beside the waters, or just bike around the park.
Great view of the river, boaters and water skiers. Mississippi Mudds and Old Man River across the street for great eats. Cant beat it.
A Sunny Saturday walk along the Niagara River
The day I went the ski was blue the grass was green and it was sunny. It was very peaceful. It was very clean and well kept
All along Niagara River and near the Tonawanda harbor, this park has lots of facilities for the individuals and families to enjoy a summer day. It sits in between Niagara Falls and downtown Buffalo, you can therefore ride your bike to either end in about an hour. Bring your boat or jetski, or just a fishing pole. Pack your picnic basket or you can get food and drink from across the street. Best park in the Buffalo/Niagara area.
Love this place, great for walking riding or just sitting. Kept very nice and clean by the town.
It os always a nice walk by the water, and Mississippi mud across the street is always a nice treat. The water is clear and clean.
A beautiful park to stop and enjoy the scenery; grab yourself an ice cream cone while youre there. Bring some bread and feed the ducks 😁
Met some super friendly people while.walking on break between calls. Lots of work and clean up, renovations going on. Nice to see the park being kept up nicely.
Love this park! Beautiful, serene and thank you to all that are contributing to the Positive Rocks! Had my Neighbors grandson there it was fantastic to find the inspirational rocks, we are currently making some to share as well! 🙂🤗
Love this park. You can walk, ride your bike, or just seat down and relax. The park is pretty clean, restrooms are open and clean too. A place for the whole family including your doggies.
One of the nicest spots to catch a sunset or just watch the water hit the rocks and reflect on your life. Tonawanda aint so bad. Its actually a beautiful park...especially at sunset. Watch that you arent run over crossing the paved bike/walking/jogging path that runs through the park as you approach the water.
One of our favorite local parks. Cant beat the walk along the water, having a picnic in the park, or grabbing some ice cream across the street and watching the sunset in the park.
Great no matter the time of year. Winter has good sledding and great for a walk or fishing. Plenty of parking. Good places to eat(open seasonally)
Nice place 2 be, really luv this park, so much 2 see & do. The Lake so nice 2 see so many boats, birds, beautiful houses off the Lake. Its lots of nice places 2 eat. I always make it a whole day 2 enjoy myself & family out at this park!
Love this place. Great for a walk. One of my favorite places to go with my chair and sit at the water. So relaxing and peaceful. Big enough to find a semi private spot when you want a nice calm time alone.
Im from California this is my first time to buffalo and my girlfriend took me here so beautiful.. I am a scenery person and this was so beautiful to watch the sunset on the lake.. absolutely beautiful
Beautiful and popular park with a bike and walking path all along the shoreline. Tables for picnics and benches too. Cant beat the view!
A nice running path or just somewhere to walk and talk with someone... very calm and peaceful... even has a couple of docks to load and unload boats
Decent pokemon go spot, beautiful view and a bike path. Overall nice park
Love it!!! Beautiful, Clean, Sitting area, walking area, Rest Rooms, Plenty of Parking Space.
Beautiful Riverside view ,long trail to walk and cycling, lots of parking site.nearby boat and kayak rentals and pricy ice cream in summer.watch for high speed cycles if you are with small kids,you can fish from shore not known any catch yet.
Knit in Public Day..Mom and I had a very nice day. Enjoyed the weather, the company and had some music. Bathrooms were cleaned and sanitized regularly.
Good place to get some Sun and watch the water see some boats good things to eat-in the area Try not to come too late because the sandflies come out and thats not fun
Beautiful, long river side walkway and bike trail as well. A lot of people bring their dogs so prepare for that if you have a pet that doesnt like the commotion. (Like mine) There are small buildings with toilets to use along the trail as well. Theres a painted part of the walkway just intended for bikers. I love that its just a few blocks from me. Four stars because as the volume of people increases, the more you are dodging bikes and joggers.
Tons of people, bugs and traffic. Its not bad just to busy for me
Wonder relaxing spot for fishing, boating, having a picnic, and using the path for biking, skating, running, or walking with a hot dog or ice cream.
Clean , nice view , perfect place for walk with friends, family or ride a bike.
Awesome park.Amazing views.Amazing river biking and walking trail.. All around well matained and a great big park along the river..
Long bike paths for walking next to the water and alot of benches to sit down along the way.
Very nice clean place enjoy sitting and resting and watching the boats
Taking a stroll by the river, hand in hand, with your love is a wonderful way to spend a warm, breezy afternoon. Next time we will bring lawn chairs to just sit and relax under the shade of a tree. Path was well maintained and clearly marked for cyclists and walkers. Definitely felt safe too.
Not much there really, but its a cute little park to stroll along after you get something from Mississippis Mudds
Great place for a short walk or biking.
Very relaxing. Frequently smells fishy, though, but not too bad, and you get used to it.
Simply beautiful. Scenic views of the Niagara River, the park is super well maintained and it looks to have been recently updated with new benches and a freshly paved and painted bike path.Mississippi mud and Old Man River restaurants are located adjacent.
Great place any season. By the water. Sledding in the winter and just people around all the time.
Clean, not crowded. Social distancing in effect, and even the seagulls are well behaved. Beautiful day to be near the water.
Nice local park in the city of Tonawanda. Great scenery along the Niagara River. Lots of places to eat close by the park. Paths for walking, jogging or riding bicycle.
We go here a lot of pokemoning! Haha! Such a great place! It’s really fun to walk around there and really pretty. The bugs... not so much.
So nice to walk the path on a warm evening :)
Beautiful park. Lots of shade for hot, humid soggy days of summer. Theres a few outdoor dining across the street. Nice place to walk your dog or eat an ice cream.
Such a beautiful breezy spot on a hot day. Bring your own chair as there are few benches. Great walking and biking trail along the river. Plenty of public restrooms as needed.
Really nice place to enjoy niagra river view, right close to river.
Great place to go for a walk with your self/loved one or family...
Nice place to be to enjoy the Niagara River, with its Bike paths & to just walk & enjoy the view. With Mississippi Mudds Close by for Food. You can also have a Nice picnic at this park with the Picnic Benches & tables.
Lovely park. Lots of duck poo though. LOL bring a chair not a blanket to sit on.
Beautiful lake side with a track for walking and cycling. Spring and Summers are ideal for a visit to this place.
Went to meet friends here, since other parks are so busy with concerts tonight. Here, when the Canada geese were not loud, we could hear each other from our vehicles.Besides the geese, there were boaters on the water, some pulling people on flat beds of some sort. There were folks on jet ski water crafts.On the bike and walking paths, there were walkers hand-in-hand. There were roller skaters, in-line skaters, skate boarders with foot power only--while others he had motorized boards on and off the path.Plenty of bicyclists, many with a manual bell on handlebars to alert walkers ahead of them, and to allow geese to get out of the way.So many folks got their phone out to record the geese in front of and all around them!This is a clean park. Trash receptacles are emptied. Way to go Niawanda Park. It is a huge park and we were in the least busy portion of it. I know it because I took so many wong turns first. Each section has a unique view!
Beautiful riverside park with plenty of seating arrangements.US might not be the country with ancient history but the industrialization age history and how people of Western New York realized impact of pollution is just remarkable. The park has information boards which shows signs of those magnificent past. The shore line is maintained from erosion and details are there.The Empire state trail is quite long which passes through this park, go to this park during summer for bicycling, skating or just walking.And dont miss the sunset!
Best place to walk your dog or have a picnic.
Oh how sweet the view of the river. The paved path could be wider on busy days but Ive always enjoyed every walk or bike ride Ive taken. Coolest place in niagara county to enjoy the water.
Always a nice place to walk and watch a sunset.
Been here a couple times now its beautiful
This a beautiful park on the Niagara river in the Tonawandas NY. A river walk with bike paths. Two hot dog stands across the street. Very restful and peaceful. A great place to unwind.
Just relaxing 😌Peacefully getaway from the Hassel and bussel of life.
Bike path and walking path along the Niagara River. Beautiful scenery, great place for a picnic or in line skating. Boat launch. Or to walk the dog.
Great place to walk, relax or have a picnic. Great for the family or for dogs. I see people fishing, riding bikes, walking the dog or just looking at nature. Good restaurants across the street complete the perfect day.
Very nice park to visit once or as much as u can...combines amenities and convenience near an urban setting...access for pedestrians bikes and watercraft...beautiful nature...observe caution and signage..some bicyclists speed ...
We had a nice walk in the evening. Its nice that the park is open until 10pm. The park was relatively clean and the view along the river was pretty. I do wish it was lit up a little more brightly - there are some very dark areas even right on the path.
This park is beautiful spring thru fall on nice days, has a solid boat launch into the river, and has two good ice cream/eateries across from the main entrance. Its attached to the main city bike road, and had picnic spots and public bathrooms too. A great place for a lot of activities.
Me and my dog 🐕 walk there in the morning love the Niagara River and what it offers
Very quiet and calm place. Im guessing they clean this place very often because its always spotless of garbage and very clean and neat. Nice view of the water and the grass is clean enough to sit on plus they have a good number of wooden benches. They also have a long trail consisting of 3 lanes. One for walking and 2 lanes for biking. They have one phone charging pole which is solar powered (awesome for the environment) and it has chargers for all types of Apple and Android phones. Very nice little park. And a generous amount of parking spots are also very nice to have. Youll enjoy this place regardless of whatever occasion. Come check it out! :)
Very nice relaxing place to sit and enjoy the water. Also a good place to sit under a tree and talk with a friend. Lastly, there is a very nice bike and pedestrian path to use at your leisure. During this time of social distancing, not a bad place to hang out; especially during the week. Im not sure how busy it gets on the weekend.
Great park right on the water.
So pretty..places to sit by the water. Picnic tables to have lunch by the water. You do have to watch for these tiny tiny black bugs on the tables if your table is under or close by a tree..they are all over.tons of them. But other than that this park is beautiful.
Grew up in Tonawanda love to walk along the river peaceful and beautiful
Great place to walk along the Niagara River. Public rest rooms, play area for kids, benches, picnic tables. All around nice place to spend the day. You have Old man River and Mississippi Mudds right across the street. Even have a sledding hill in the winter.
Lovely, peaceful, clean, clean restrooms, not too crowed, plenty places to sit, decent views, very strong current, would say stay out if not in boat.
Take your bug spray, the flies are terrible around the trees!
8 of us had a nice 10 mile bike ride there. Beautiful park! Nice smooth paved bike path.
Great views of Grand Island, Canada, and the Niagara river. Walking is fine but biking is preferable. Many boat and jetski launches here.
Excellent views of the upper Niagara River.Perfect walking and biking path.Mississippi Mudds and Old Man River have good food and ice cream.
My daily favorite place during Covid-19
Great for Dog walks, biking, skating. It really doesnt get any better having the Niagara River right next to you.
Beautiful view. Great for family fun all kinds of things to do there from relaxing and enjoying the water on a hot day to biking and concerts
Its a nice park with a great waterfront view. Its very busy in the summer months of course, which makes it difficult to find some peace and quiet sometimes. The bike path could use some work, and be careful if you ride through. People tend not to acknowledge most traffic on the path. Definitely go slow and take your time
My favorite place to walk with an amazing view of the canal. Picnic tables, restrooms along the way.
You get to walk right next to a beautiful river, whats not to like. There are some picnic tables and benches too, and a boat launch, and a couple of well loved hot dog/hamburger/ice cream restaurants are just across the road. Theres almost always a breeze, which is wonderful (can be a godsend) in summer, and definitely bracing ( in my opinion also wonderful) in winter. They keep the walkway cleared in winter, which is great. Isleview Park, immediately next-door, isnt quite so accommodating in that regard. Niawanda is run by City of Tonawanda and the only real drawback is their bathrooms are open only from around Memorial Day to around Labor Day or until it gets cold. If you want a bathroom during the winter, walk down to Isleview Park, right next door, and the bathrooms by the red house, right next to Two Mike Creek, are heated and open all year. The County runs that park and its good too, but not the subject of this review. (For those who dont know, you can have a nice long walk if you want by combining the two parks; both have more or less the same facilities -- except as noted here -- and both of course have that wonderful river.)
Nice view of the river, but often on the weekends it gets overrun with litter from the ice cream place. Also, the boat launch is by permit only!
A beautiful park along the Niagara River in the City of Tonawanda
Nice place to sit and relax or a beautiful view as you walk along the path.Can go to old man rivers or Mississippi Mudds across the street to get something to eat then go sit and eat by the river.Take your dogs for a walk,ride your bike on the path
Lovely and beautiful view but the parking is such a disaster, especially when trying to park on the street and turn around to even find a street spot bc it can be SO BUSY (example a summer Tuesday from 1130-1:30). Also as of 8/18 the restrooms are still closed so its tough to stay long if youve got kids with you.
Awesome multi-use path on the river! Plenty of parking, walkable restaurants, and places to sit by the water.
Niwanda is perfect for a quick trip to sled. Perfect for young kids.
Beautiful and easy to find a parking spot
Beautiful! Water side is breathtaking!
Beautiful an relaxing for the family! Absolutely amazing fishing also!
Keeping Our Parks Clean. Bonus WoW what a View.
Always a great place for stroll or your morning run. They got boating docks as well if you wanna bring you boat.
This park is well taken care of. The grass is cit and trimmed. Restrooms are clean and orderly. Beautiful view.
Very nice park over looking the water, good fishing spot too. Besides the occasionally insulin needle and used condom the park was pretty clean.
We absolutely love this place. We have been making the drive for quite a few years now. Today the bathrooms were closed, we noticed a lot of people looking to use them as well. So that was a tad disappointing, but not the end of the world. We noticed a lot of garbage all over. There were plenty of containers to discard trash available throughout the park. Please keep the parks clean and take the extra step to use a garbage can.
Always a good place to enjoy the water
The park was very nice, I love the walkway with the lines for bicyclists and walkers. Also really liked the docks for people with boats and people wanting to fish.I wish there were some more lights on the walk way thought being a female walking at dusk can be a little scary with long stretches of no light.
Beautiful views of the river right across the street from one of my favorites, Mississippi Mudds. A very busy park with a walking/bike path. Lots of benches to relax at and enjoy the view of the river. They have boat launches and a music pavilion too.A great place to relax and wind down with an ice cream and a beautiful sunset.Leashed dogs are welcome.
Whether you come here to walk or ride by the river, its such a relaxing place to enjoy the river. Theres so much to do here and you can enjoy at your own pace. We bring the kiddos down, pack a lunch and enjoy being by the water. The kids bring their footballs, soccer balls, frisbees, etc. and have a blast here. We try to come as often as we can. I enjoy riding my bike here as well.
Beautiful place to have a picnic and watch a sunset.
Bike trail, walking trail, benches and tables sit at the water.Great Ice (handpacked) creamNice place to go after dinner and to walk the dogs.
With social distancing enforced, this is perfect for getting out and not feeling alone. The vibe is slightly different now but thats everywhere; however, this is still one of my favorite places. The geese dont stay six feet away. They still approach and beg for a food offering. The gulls still scream at you as you pass. The ducks are sleeping on the grass. The river is gorgeous and the waves continue to make that unmistakeable soothing, churning sound, while the bike path remains active and manicured. Old Man River and Mississippi Mudd are both open but obviously maintaining the distance rule. You have to wear a mask on the property unless youre eating. Thats fine with me, as long as its open.This is an ideal location for exercise or just relaxation. I recently moved back after four years in Vegas and wow am I happy to see water, trees, clouds and nice people! It hasnt changed much, despite the alteration in all venues across the county. Good to see it thriving still. ♥️
Nice to sit and relaxed but too many dogs walker not picking after, it smells and lots of mosquitoes, great view.
Beautiful park. Great for walks, bike rides, hanging out, picnics, etc. There are some Pokemon Go stops and gyms here, too. I come here every year for the 4th of July fireworks. The houses near are beautiful, and the park is close to a couple of great restaurants.
Enjoy some delicious ice cream and watched the boats fly across the water too. Bring some chairs and enjoy a sunset!
Nice place to walk, sometimes the path is hard w dogs/small children bc there are a lot of cyclists - not that theyre rude, its just not always easy to keep dogs & tots on the correct side.
On a sunny day check it out. Full of spirit.
This park is wonderful for biking or skating or walking and it has a wonderful view! It’s also very close to nice restaurants like Old Man River or Mississippi Mudds!
Beautiful views, many picnic tables, accessible bathrooms all along the waterfront, a very very long bike trail and tons of parking. Its also across from a couple decent places to eat and still have a beautiful view of the water! Also very clean and well taken care of! GREAT PLACE TO TAKE KIDS.
A nice evening by the Niagara River. Across the way is Grand Island, which is a rather large island in the middle of the river. The calm appearing water flows quickly.
Great place to relax and take a walk from Spring to late Fall.
Beautiful place to watch a sunset and escape the heat
Could have spent all day there just wondering around. It was late in the season so there werent many people around and the military museum was closed but, nevertheless, just great.
Something new at the park. Free solar powered charging stations
Great Park to go for a nice walk to ducks birds walk along the water or go for a nice bike ride they have benches and places to sit down and rest
Loved the whole area im passing through on the Erie Canal trail. This is part of a much bigger ride to Alaska acrossthemapwithmatt.com
Its pretty clean, benches are usable. The view is beautiful. Decent amount of parking space too.
Relaxing, enjoyable park for people watching, doggies on walks, boaters out on the water, nice benches and walking path. Beautiful scenery. Only shortfall is limited parking in lots or roadside.
Very peaceful park, many people walking, biking, walking dogs, babies, strollers. Lot of tables and benches to sit and watch the water, boats or relax and or eat. Very convenient walk up restaurant across street for food, ice cream, drinks. Large patio upstairs to see the water & eat.
A visit from a river bird today. Decided to sit & stay on the windshield ... Nice close view! 😉
Great place to go out and relax and enjoy a beautiful day today. Great place to go read a book, ride a bike, walking, running, or whatever you want to do. So I recommend people to go down to Niawanda Park and enjoy your day there.
Absolutely beautiful views! Always a nice breeze, docks well maintained, bike and walking paths well kept, plenty of public benches-restrooms and trash cans. Only downside is lots of geese and their droppings lol !!!!
Even on a rainy February morning its still a nice spot to stop at.
Enjoyable place. Relaxing!
I just love this little park. Great place for a walk or a nice bike ride. Especially for the kiddos.
This beautiful park is adjacent to the Niagara River and has plenty of parking for great views, walking and picnicking. Right across the street are restaurants with real old time character including Old Man Rivers, and others. Summer time events include boat racing and concerts. This is a favorite of locals and tourists alike.
Me and my wife had a great time there watching boats and Jet skiers under the trees for shade, but the best thing was the mother duck brought its 11 ducklings out of the water to sunbathe and I just walked about 20 feet from her and when they were all dry the mother walked up to me thinking I was going to feed her babies but I didnt have any crackers I felt bad. So she got the babies went back in the water.
Love the bike trail and the scenery....awesome !
I have lived in Buffalo for three years and this is my favorite spot to visit. The bike paths along the river are a great spot to go for a walk with my son. There are plenty of places to eat nearby and its a lot of fun to watch the boats in the summer and the ice in the winter. Great family outing location
We had a beautiful day the sun was shining on Tuesday April 24th ... Very rare to have such a day, so we took the dog to the park and went for a walk along the river.It would be nice if people had the decency to put their trash in one of the many garbage cans supplied instead of on the ground. It would also be nice if people were considerate of others and pick up after their pet.
Peaceful, relaxing area for walking or sitting by lake. Such a calming effect in a beautiful space!
Could use more places to sit but I love it nicely paved for a 🚶♀️🏃♀️ 🚲 strollers too
Great park with fantastic views. A newly redone bike path makes it even more enjoyable.
Love Niawanda Park. Walking/bike trail right next to the river. Many picnic benches. Great area for Sun or shade. Many options for Parking. Boat launches. Great for picnics, family reunions, gatherings. Very busy but yet plenty of area to enjoy. Dog walking. History postings along the walk trail. The beauty of so many amazing things nature has to offer!
Clean, well maintained. Fast food places across the street.Reasonably placed benches for those who need frequent opportunities to rest.
Use to a great place to walk but now bicycles n cyclist just now run people off the walk way.
I ride my bike through the park end to end often. It is well used with picnic tables and a popular boat launch. The walking/bike trail is in good condition. You can get ice cream and burgers across the street, and the park is right on the river. Bathrooms are available in the summer.
So we decided to launch the boat from somewhere new. We couldnt launch across from Mississippi Mudds because we didnt have a permit for that one. We were told there was a free launch site down the road. It was easy to launch from but the dock was super gross and was definitely not kept up on cleanliness.
Everyone seemed to be pleasant. Saw alot of people putting garbage in garbage cans and not on ground. Beautiful site. Will always be back beside 2 hotdog stand and ice cream. Most important no fighting and people were practicing distancing. Yea
Clean.. safe...relaxing...well maintained trails and sitting areas...and spectacular river views
This is one of our favorite places to go as a family! Its so relaxing to sit by the water and the kids love walking along the path and looking for ducks. The path is long and makes for a great place to ride your bike, rollerblade, or walk. They often have groups entertaining at the band shell and Mississippi Mudds is a nice place to get a cold treat to eat. If you go far enough down the path you will reach Isle view which has a playground about halfway down the path. In my opinion though, just walking along the docks and climbing on the rocks is enough fun to occupy the kids for a long while.
Just a beautiful evening at Niawanda Park. The breeze comong off the water was downright lovely and watching the boats and watercraft is always a good time too. The husband and I were coming back home after going out for dinner and this was too nice not to visit.Get going to the park before the weather changes for the not so best. Enjoy!!
Awesome Time, Thank You
Nice park. A great place to walk, sit or fish. Food options close by. A fair amount of benches to sit, but a few more would be nice. Being your own chair. Bathrooms could be cleaner.
What a gorgeous setting. I would offer the suggestion of more garbage receptacles, but I have to admit that the people seem to be willing to walk a fair distance with their trash. A great place for a visit for the whole family.
A nice, long park to walk, bike, and play at. There are a number of decent sized grassy areas toss a frisbee around in (or throw a football, or kick a soccer ball, or whatever).The paths along the river are good sized for walking or riding a bike through, and it is generally not overly crowded (at least not when Ive been).It is also adjacent to a few food places (mostly open only during the summer), so its a good place to come, have lunch or dinner, then walk off the meal.
Very peaceful. Good walking trail, great views(we backed our van in and let the hatch up to watch the sunset). Food, drinks, ice cream and a playground close by!
Great place to hang out by the Niagara river. A couple hot dog stands (seasonal) to eat at... not cheap but handy. Picnic tables and boat launch is available. Numerous events during summer attract tons of people. Great bike path along the river.
Great local park. Right next to police station. Biking walking, boat launch. Restaurants across the streetPlenty of benches and tables. Great view too. Excellent for people watching
Nice park to sit and relax
This is a great park to sit and watch the river, ride bike, walk or picnic. Its easy to get to and has comfort areas. Great for family and friends.
A beautiful week day afternoon. Watching the Niagara River waters create their Monet art work with a pallet of blues and aqua-greens. Loons take to the clear liquid and boaters enjoy the sun. Distress time.
Nice place to park and walk.. Summer time you can hit up the restaurants across the street and get a milkshake or hot dog ect..
So relaxing to sit out by the water and watch the water fowl, boats and other manner of water activities, people fishing, bike riding, sunning walking/running, walking dogs. Plenty of sun and plenty of shade. Right across the street from Mississippi Mudds where you can get an ice cream and eat it in the park.
Great place to walk and enjoy the river.
I bike through here on the way to work, well laid out paths (walking and two directional bike lanes). A couple bumps in the path which arent great if youre going fast, but overall great layout, and views of the water.
Always nice to grab a cone and sit by river. Mississippi Mudds has great service and a nice selection of ice cream.
Nice park with bike and walking trails along the Niagara River with picnic areas and boat launches. The also jus recently built a new pavilion that looks great from the out side and looking in but I have not been inside it yet.
Great place to walk dogs and just hang out on a sunny day. Parking can be at a premium and make sure you dont take the boat permit only parking. The police will hit you with a $30 ticket.
It is a little early so the restrooms are still closed. It was very busy there with everyone taking advantage of the decent weather. Mississippi Mudds opens on March 12th so you will be able to get something to eat.
Beautiful park. Great bike paths.
One of my favourite places! You can just hang by the water, launch a boat, take a walk, or ride your bike for miles. Two places to go for food/ice cream in walking distance, Mississippi Mudds and Old Man River. Free parking!
Its a beautiful area but not much for kids. Driving is difficult. Speed limit is 25mph and well supported by nearby police with good reason. Cross walks make driving a bit more difficult. Its extremely busy. They do have 2 concession stands nearby and a 711. The biggest issue is the lack of entertainment for young kids and traffic.
Just a wonderful place for any occasion! Good walking/biking path. Good place for a picnic or meeting up with friends. Always a scenic view and good for boat watching too.
Enjoyable! Many kindhearted people and a super GREAT concert in the bandshell!! RAMBLIN LOU!! Beautiful dogs being walked with leashes putting smiles on many faces!! . Boats, jet skis, water bikes! Met a friendly fisherman and bikers galore!! SUPERB PLACE!!
Best view of Niagara River. The park maintains its grounds rather well, offers a great walk or bike as well as numerous benches and picnic tables. Across the street, grab an ice cream and enjoy the people, boats, or water. I only knock one star off because the parking lot really need to be paved as its got a lot of ruts and pot holes.
Awesome place by the Riverside, walking jogging, biking, picnic spot live music sometimes peaceful place .
It is a nice place to go, but they need more to accommodate people that want to stay longer. Like more restrooms and water fountains that have the bottle filter.
Its Beautiful place!
Great place for outdoor activities. Run, bike, rollerblade, walk, launches for boating and jet skiing and places to eat right across the street. Oh and an awesome ice cream spot across the street too.
Nice! Lots of work done here, new benches, bike path and pit stop area. Bathrooms closed though.
Normally great, but this weekend the whole park is swarming with bugs. We left because it was impossible to enjoy.
Clean facilities, areas well kept, friendly folks all around. Will absolutely go back again.
Nice walking areas. Great view of the river too.
Its beautiful scenery love being by the water watching the boats and wildlife!
Love this place licated along the Niagara river in Tonawanda NY. Bike,skating,walking trails run along the river. Lots of shade and cool breeze. We used to go scuba diving there. A wonderful drift dive.
Beautiful area to take a relaxing walk bime ride or even have brunch or dinner
Beautiful park by river and the riverwalk goes thru it but my experience is ruined today because I found the restrooms locked!! I had to hurry through instead of stay longer and enjoy myself!! I feel theres no excuse for this because the restrooms in Isle view are open & so I was very surprised to find them locked in Niawanda!! I guess I can never come here again before Memorial Day. Im very disappointed!
Very pretty park on the niagara river. Always active with runners, bikers, casual walks, dates, picnics, boating, etc. Theres always a duck or 10 to see. Restrooms and pavilions available.
Great place for POKEMON trainers! also good for a nice breezy walk seeing the sun set having a picnic taking the dogs etc. its apart of the bike train that runs along the river
A great place to: rollarblade, cycle, walk your dog, jog, or just stroll along the Niagara Rivers edge..
The bike path is ok, but the boat ramp is junk. Small boats will get sucked under the ramp and damaged due to the lack of vertical pylons. Furthermore, even though you dont need a launch permit during the off season, (dates clearly posted on the sign) that will not save you from having to spend time in the nearby city court fighting the ticket.
Great place to go for a senic walk. Have a boat launch a bandstand for concerts and many picnic areas. In the summer months there is always something going on. The park runs along side River road in Tonawanda and also has plenty of places to eat nearby.
Best seafood... you can choose between beer, red and white wine. Live music on Sunday
I take my morning walks there.
Its pretty busy there on nice days .. and they have the two restaurants/ice cream shops that really make the bike path worth it

2022-06-02Gorgeous view, lots of parking, right near Mississippi Muds and Old Man River, very clean, love the path for walking. It can get crowded but people dont seem to mind. Theres enough space on the path for skaters and cyclists.

2022-06-08Great slow paced bike trail. A little busy but that is to be expected with nice weather.Solar powered charging stations for phones and electronic devices. Lots of places to sit.

2022-06-09Beautiful place to enjoy the view of the river. Plenty of parking, picnic tables and benches and there is a paved bike/walking path that is wide enough to share and in a scenic, but open (think personal safety) location.

2021-09-07Beautiful little spot to pull over at and look around. Jogging/bicycle track. Benches around to sit and enjoy. Pretty flowers growing by the rocks. Across the street from Mississippi Mudds who have great food!

2022-05-04Very nice, quiet area to walk, run, or bike. Plenty of parking with just a quick walk to get to the water. Bring your own chair to sit and relax or use the provided picnic tables and chairs to have lunch or to sit and watch boats on the water. The park is dog friendly and there is a small playground for kids .

2022-02-23I think the park is just fine! Sometimes during the night time hours, mosquitos come out in a big group. It really doesnt bother me. I like to go to Mississippi Mudds right across the street from the park and bring my food back and eat it along the water. This place can be very relaxing and calming for me after a terrible day at work.

2021-09-23This is a beautiful park along the fantastic upper Niagara River. The park offers a newly repaved walkway that can stretch for miles. So walking or bikeing could not get any better. As you stroll along you have bathrooms and play areas. Strategically placed. And the view of the Niagara as it travels toward the mighty falls is always such a sight to behold.If you are a boater you can launch your boat here with the purchase of a 50 dollar season pass. Get that at the municipal building at the north end of the park. If you dont have a boat. Say hello to me the next time. I am always happy to meet and take a new friend along on a short cruise.
