The park is great, and it has a huge pool. The issue with the pool is its very crowded, no shade, and a lot of stuff floating in the pool. There was plastic and a lot of dandelion fluff, I know that cant be helped, and very loud.
Home to one of the carousels in the Binghamton area. New ice skating area opened this winter.
Wonderful park featuring a public pool,tennis courts, baseball field, ice skating rink, huge playground, one of many of the areas carolsels, walking trails, picnic benches.
This has been my grandsons favorite park since the new playground was built. We love it and find most everyone hes come in contact with here has been friendly .
Nice place to get away and just enjoy the fresh air or take your kids. I think they should add some grills and picnic tables though
Best place to just relax and walk through the nature. Rec park is huge it has a swimming pool, tennis courts, football ground, slides & swings for kids plus two parking spots and the best thing it has carrousel to ride on for free.
Kids love it and definitely keeps them occupied and its nice that you guys made it big enough so mommy has no excuse to be lazy and just watch!!! No no no not at rec my son even likes to remind me ....... Mom, its cool though we can go to Rec. park, then us fat kids can play too, mom!! Its not just for pnut sizesThey got the jumbo sized, heavy duty type, large kid friendly playground!!! LolIts pnuts fave because that means that she has more people to play tag with, more people to romp all around and even threw the playground with!!I love it bc, 1. I get to hang out with my 2 faves in the world but to be completely honest,.......... what is really the best part that really gets me, and, yanks my heart strings is watching my minnies; the little itty bitty pretty Minnie, and the large, loud, ruff, rowdy, and rugged Minnie and witnessing that love and amazing bond between a big brother and his little sister!!ITS MY FAVERITE THING IN THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD TO WATCH
The new playground is great for kids. Lots of space to picnic or just relax in the wooded area.
I love Rec Park and have been going for years. Its great to see the carousel being used again!
You can spend hours in this park you got pools, playground and you can play basketball, soccer, tennis I love this park and it is usually very clean
This was a super fun park for a mid road trip break with kids. Lots of large, interconnected play structures for a variety of ages
Great play spot for active kiddos! I loved that the tall slide is enclosed, so I dont have to panic when my 3 year old climbs up. Its clean and the footing is great.
This is a wonderful family park. It has an innovtive, wonderful play area with many things to explore. The play area is handicap accessible,, with a wheelchair swing.There is a paved walking trail and parking lots. Recently built professional tennis courts, a swimming pool, ice-skating rink, baseball field, carousel, restrooms and a band stand.
We are the middle of a extreme heat warning so the city of Binghamton has opened up all its pools for free which is why Im here. That was really thoughtful of the powers that be and the park and pool are pretty clean but Im sure it still has its share of pee in the pool!
Absolutely wonderful park to bring the pup on a sunny Sunday morning! Well maintained, very nice paths, a beautiful fountain and memorial, and incredible kids playground. A gem.
I didn’t take a ton of pictures here, but having lived in that area for years and coming back to visit and seeing this playground... I am impressed. It seems Binghamton has finally decided to clean up a little. I like that it has a lot of access for all kids: big, small, disabled, etc. I love that the spinning merry go round thing is in the ground - and the seats and doors! Way safer than when I used to play on them as a kid! I wouldn’t tell someone from out of the area that they have to come here, but if you live nearby it’s a nice place to go. I know when I visit family there we will be going again :)
Amazing Park 🏞️ for all season.Thanks to stuff whos work there .
Nice park to go with family and friends...Has swimming pool, tennis courts, carousal, basketball courts, baseball ground, and kids slides
This park is beautiful compared to what it used to be. Plus side is there’s also a pool, baseball field and tennis in the lower area. And there’s trails around the park as well
Large beautiful playground surrounded by many tall trees. Walking path, picnic benchs, swimming pool and carousel available to the public.
This is the most-beautiful playground ever. Very safe and educational too with music and sign language education
We pick up our grandson after school and he always wants to go here. He loves it and has a great time. It is safe. It is clean. The equipment is fantastic.
I love jog here. It has a soccer field. A couple of tennis courts. Play area and a carousel. Grass is maintained well. Good place for running/jogging.
I loved the carousel! Beautiful park and facilities.
What a beautiful park. My brothers Memorial service was held there on October 2, 2021. Children playing in the background it was really nice. He loved the children. Thanks to the management for allowing us to use the parks pavilion. And thanks to ALL who were involved in making it a great celebration of my brothers life. Cheryl, Denise, Mary, Jamaica, etc. Love you all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love visiting Rec Park every day when I had stayed near to the park. It’s a calm and serene place. Kids can enjoy a lot and adults can take a walk. We have tennis courts.
An oasis of green in the city, offering a place of serenity from the daily grind. A great place for both solitary introspection and family outings.
Beautiful park. The 100 year old carousel is fully restored and fond memory from my youth for me. I rode it many time more than 60 years ago.
It was nyce place.kids get enjoy alot
Nice size park. Well kept. New childrens play area. Pool. Clean pathways. Lots of trees so you feel like your out of the City for awhile. Family friendly. Many park here to eat their lunches during the business week M-Fr people.
Great family place. Had a great time with the kids, Carousel was free to ride,well maintained and no waiting. Playground was fun,clean and had soft rubber ground cover. Make sure to stop by this iconic park when in Binghamton, its within walking distance..
I cannot say enough about this park. The layout and amount of things to do are amazing. The life guards at the pool are unbelievably nice. The one pictured has become my sons favorite and she entertained his attention towards her as well as paid attention to her job.
I will compare this park to a kingdom for little kids. the playground offers so so so many things to play on. the carousel is amazing and i believe there is a pool if i remember correctly. this is definitely a place that has everything to keep kids entertained for hours
It was amazing to ride the carousel during the winter to celebrate Christmas.
Was once my back yard. Decent little park (size roughly 4 acres) with multiple tennis courts, a fairly large play ground, a pool, a parking lot on either which side and a dog walking path that twists about the whole park. Oh and who could forget the carousel - still active as ever!
As a father all of my kids play at the beautifully re done park and they love it
This park was great. Very clean. Near a pool and lots to explore for children of all ages.
This place was awesome! It has such a variety of play areas, including a castle and a carousel. But dont plan on eating a meal in the picnicky areas. The bees were very, very aggressive. Adults might have been able to handle it, but not little kids. Go there to play only. Eat b4 you come or after you leave during bee season.
Very nice family park. Well maintained.
Love this park so much. Its handicapped accessible. Its also beautiful in the fall. The bathrooms at the pool area could use an upgrade.
A really relaxing place to visit in the evenings. Has a lot of space to play outdoor sports and the tennis courts have been maintained well.
Cool place too hangout with friends n fam.You can play there too since its a huge ground!!
Used to come here a lot as a child, still a nice park!
Awesome! So many things to do and theyre all well maintained (in the context of of post industrial Central New York).
What a spectacular surprise this free merry go round was! I loved riding it and being transported back to childhood.
I love being in the park because it is beautiful I take my kids there to play with others I love laying in the grass swimming in the pool its very comfortable I love watching others play and the Merry-Go-Round is very beautiful also and its lots of things to do there and I believe is very safe
When those awful people burned down the old play ground I figured with the money shortage, that it wasn’t going to be rebuilt. The new playground is AMAZING so many swings and it’s all about music. It’s just a lot better than the old one. They have a train the children can play in. It’s definitely my go too play ground. Only thing is I wish they had a fence with one way open
Wow! The kids playground here is wheelchair accessible and absolutely incredible. It is better than what you might see in some Amusement parks. The ground keeper told us an amazing story of community after the main section of it had been partially burnt down the year before. The community came together and it ended up being built bigger and better. Brilliant!Also, peeked inside the slightly derelict building in the center of the park only to find a treasure.. one of Binghamtons 6 famous Carousels / Merry-go-rounds!Truly incredible!
Grew up in this park welived at 121 Seminar Ave such great memories ♥️♥️🥰🥰
I go there to use the charger for my hybrid auto. I take a book and chair and sit under a tree near the carousal. I enjoy the music, the laughter of the children, the cleanliness of the park and getting my car charged at the same time.
The best park in the area can also be the busiest.
This was the first time I have been able to take my grandbabies here because of Covid and the live in the Buffalo area. They said this is the best playground that they have ever been to. It kept them busy for several hours and that is amazing for a 7 and 9yr old. Thank you for the amazing rebuild.
I went to this park about a year ago, and it was amazing. You can feel the joy that comes free every time you enter. There is even playground equipment for disabled kids, so they can have some of the fun that we get to enjoy. A few days ago to a week ago some people burned down the park! :(, but they are now hosting times to come and clean the park. They said that their next clean up is on June 27, so feel free to come and make a difference for the greater good! :)
Tragically, it was recently burned but its already been rebuilt, so almost everything is new. Padded ground, swings- including special needs (the wheelchair rolls up onto it), small rock climbing wall, slides, plenty of stairs and climbers, music toys, small village... Great playground for little ones. There are numerous picnic tables, no grills. Adjoining the park is a large field, baseball field and tennis courts. There are 2 spacious parking lots. Merry go round closed in the winter.
They really did such an amazing job on the remake of the park! Tons more stuff to do,more engaging and it is definitely larger,so children arent tripping over each other anymore. Also it is more safe with the semi-cushioned and stable wood chip base,AND is handicapped accessible now. Theyve given children with disabilities a chance to just be kids and have fun. So great.
Beautiful, well kept, with lots of shade on sunny days. Great playground for children, pool, and tennis courts. A city park to be proud of!
Our kids love this park. Very open space and plenty to do. Fairly clean for the area occasionally we will see a bunch of trash but nothing major.
Fun carousel and playground. Nice walking paths.
What a great surprise to drive by the park and see that the merry go round was open! So many great memories!
An amazing park for all ages and activities..
Awesome park! Ive never been to a park so handicapable. They had a swing and merry-go-round for those in wheelchairs. They had an awesome playground my 2 and 4 yr old loved. A free carousel in a building that last longer than any Ive ever paid for. Extremely diverse people, which I love. They had a pool, many paths to walk, several gazebos, massive playground.Definitely a place to take the family for an afternoon!
Beautiful park. Especially with all the new upgrades .
Great place dor a summer vacation day
Beautiful park equipped with one of the best handicapped friendly playgrounds you can find for counties! Also, includes an amazing historic carousel and bandstand with not only local ties of Endicott Johnson Shoe Company but connections to the world famous Rod Serling and his show The Twilight Zone.
Recreation Park has lots of space. There were tennis courts, but they are under construction. There is a large playground for parents and children. There is a baseball field, walking paths, and a swimming pool. There is also an indoor carousel.
Wonderful place to relax. The carousel is quaint. I loved riding it pretending I was in that twilight zone episode.
A great park for some recreation activities.
It was awesome I love that park
It was great..we celebrate.. My 2 grand children... Amara & Alonso...
Great park. There is a wonderful huge playground, swimming, fields, benches, carousel. There are so many options. I recommend spending the afternoon hanging at Rec Park!
Beautifully restored carousel. Free rides for everyone, not just little kids. Adults can ride on the horses. Nice park beyond the carousel with accessible playground. Has swings for infants. The carousel is open in the summer until Labor Day. Theres also a pool behind the carousel with lifeguards. Plenty of parking.
This is a beautiful place to spend time with family and let the kids run around.
Beautiful park. Fun running around after my grandsons. Lost my glasses there
Carousel is nice and for free. Big playground for kids in different age groups. Small outdoor pool. Tennis, softball, basketball courts.
Very nice park for kids. The playground is one of the largest Ive seen. The historic carosel is interesting and enjoyable, and the fact that its free makes it a must see if youre there. The park while not small isnt really that large where its worth biking but is large enough for an evening stroll.
Very nice playground. Not to mention free carrousel ride for kids. Beautiful place. And free :)
The new playground at this place is huge! Its also designed to be inclusive of those with disabilities. This also means that many of the areas of the jungle gym that are usually difficult for parents to access are a lot more accessible. So, parents can have a lot more fun playing along side their kids!
Beautiful park with a little bit of everything. Playground, pool, ball field, carousel and tree lined walking area.EV drivers: Two level 2 chargers are in the parking area near the ball field. Clipper Creek style, free, and both in good repair at the time of this post. Both chargers occupied in an evening in June while baseball games were going on.
Beautiful , spacey area.The park had a public swimming pool. Soccer filed. Children play ground.The charger for electric cars is installed in the parking lot. Its free!
The community came together to rebuild the playground bigger and better! Great for toddlers to teens and lots of places for adults to sit too.
Very nice park for the kids to go..very nice playground..nice place for adults to carefully watch their children
Recreation Park is a beautiful place for families to enjoy swimming in an immaculately clean pool, play tennis, enjoy a picnic and children can have special fun on the Carousel and the newly built, creative playground.There are often special fairs and events for people to enjoy as well.
Nice park. Well built amenities. Great for walking, jogging, reading, writing, meditating. Sadly though theres a lack of racial diversity and even more tragic are the poorly built basketball courts😬
We went to this park specifically to check out the Rod Serling plaque in the gazebo and the carousel which has free rides until 8 p.m. We had no idea that an artist had painted scenes from different Twilight Zone episodes around the outside of the carousel. Very cool! Lovely park, lots of shade, great playground for kids, and an outdoor public pool. Hope to return when they eventually erect a statue in his honour!!
Best park around! Big kids park and little kids park with parent benches in between. Rubber ground, so easy on the knees! Completely handicap accessible. Theres bathrooms, a pool, walking trail, tennis courts, soccer field, and carousel all within the same lot. Love the musical playground section.The only thing to note is that the elementary school across the street uses the playground for recess, so it can get chaotic if you come during recess!
This is the biggest most beautiful park in Binghamton, New York. It features seasonal swimming, tennis courts, and a beautifully restored Carousel. There are walking pathways throughout. A wonderful woodsy area to hike around in, plus a well equipped playground for the children. There are two ample sized parking lots, also handicapped accessibility.
Love this park it has everything kids need to play and have fun. Plus a nice pool.
Nice park, the playground is great with lots of neat features. If you are interested in the Twilight Zone this is the park that the episode Walking Distance was based on. There is a plaque commemorating this in the pavilion in the center of the park. The paintings on the carousel are also Twilight Zone themed. The carousel is well maintained, clean and like all carousels in the greater Binghamton area free to ride.
One of my favorite local parks. The kids love the carousel and the pool, and I love the new, all-inclusive playground and the garden thats there. Rec Park music fest is also always a good time ☺️
Beautiful park, but go during the day when older kids are in school unless you want your children to learn a whole new colorful vocabulary and distasteful behaviors. It was really a shame too. Park officials try by putting up signs, but even when asked to refrain from using the language around young children they wouldnt stop.
Its been around since I was a youngun. Well kept by the city. Nice gathering place for the locals and visitors as well. Carousel not running last night, probably because of Covid.
I went there in 2018, its a lovely park and the carousel is the best i have ever seen. When as i hope to in 2022 i travel again to America Binghamton and recreation park will be the top of my list. Id give the park more stars if i could
This is another gem in the City of Binghamton. A beautiful pool, vintage carousel, and new and large payscale for kids that is also friendly to the disabled, a couple ball fields, tennis courts, and ample green space. Truly a beautiful park, that is well maintained. This park can be very busy at times, so keep an eye on your kids! There are also two parking lots, street parking. and basketball hoops. Enjoy!
The community really did wonderful work and repair after some jerk decided to burn it down} so proud to be part of a community that can pull up their sleeves and work TOGATHER for the sake of our public parks
Love this park its in NY. Absolutely beautiful playground for kids, toddlers and handicapped families. Pool, ball fields, statues, gazebo, basket ball hoops and carousel. I drive over 2 hours away. Just an awesome experience for kids.
Absolutely awesome park for all ages and abilities. My only qualm is that I wish it was fenced in. The play area is so huge I cant always see my kids especially if they go in different directions and I cant follow them all
Great playground for children, lovely swimming pool and tennis courts. And the best merry-go-round.
Quiet.. In summer Rec Park is alive with people playing tennis and softball or swimming or just enjoying the summer.. The Carrosel and bandstand made famous by Rod Serling in his famous TV series Twilight Zone are located here as is the home he grew up in a few blocks nearby.
Great playground in the area and carousel is big plus for kids. Theres a two port level 2 EV charging station at the parking lot, but its not easy finding a free port even in weekdays.
Had a great time too many ducks in the area, lots of tables BBQ pits, kids play place lovely lake, well kept, even walking asphalt path, access points to River, and bike riding path for several miles if you can get a table, its beautiful its clean save for the duck poo.Spent the afternoon practicing for the September 19 Latin percussion open mic meet and greet.
Always a good day to take a walk through here, read a book, and just enjoy some relaxation, this park is fantastic.
Was just doing a drop off for pool. Very scenic and I do plan to use park regularly this summer. Great location.
Such a great park. I love that theres a whole section of playground equipment designed for really little kids. So nice that the teenies dont have to worry about being bowled over by bigger kids
I lived here most of my life and I always loved the Carolsel and just a few years ago they made the park awesome for anyone to enjoy. My son took part in making that park and he was a volunteer in working on it too. They have alot of events that goes on throughout the year also. It is worth checking out if you havent already.
Best park in Binghamton. Has a carousel, playground, pool, tennis courts, soccer field and baseball field as well as an amazing Grove of trees to have picnics in and a bandstand. The people that work at the park and take care of it are extremely nice and helpful. My three-year-old loves it here!
This jungle gym is awesome! One of the biggest Ive ever seen. And they have a Merry-go-Round along with a baseball diamond, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Will tire out the kids! Great place to take some food and chill.
It was great, the pool is open now and people bring friendly dogs, lots of room to play for kids and furry friends
This is the biggest park within city minutes huge play jungle gym ,carasol ,hoops,swimming pool
All the lifeguards have different rules. I have to pay a grounds fee just to sit on the grass while my family swims. Changing rules all the time about where my granddaughters can swim. They keep making them take tests to be in the deeper part. But yet my granddaughters go off the diving board at state park. I wont be going back again
Rec Park is centrally located on the Westside of Binghamton. It has many amenities, some of which are; swimming pool, tennis courts,basketball and softball fields, two basketball courts, kids playground, walking paths and a nationally famous Carousel that is free to ride! One negative thing is some nasty people dont clean up after their dogs on the pathways.
Great park! It is ashame someone had to burn the playground down. What did the kids do? May they come forward who did this. May God weight on their hearts to do the correct thing.
Has improved since the 80s and 90s.Carousel has been revamped and restored.There is a new Tree Fort play ground.Best priced pool in the area.It is a shame they removed a statue that was put in place by Johnson since at or before the 1920s.It stood there that long, until some snowflake made a big deal about nothing...
I havent been to this park in a while. Once they remodeled it, it is great! I have both a one year old and a thirteen year old and they both had a great time. I also noticed they added a swing for a wheelchair which I have never seen, amazing!
Very nice park in Binghamton. Has a free carousel in the summer & around Christmas time decorated for the holiday.nice new playground. Basketball & tennis courts & walking trails public pool in the summer .many concerts throughout the nice weather .nice family park
Free carousel in season. Bandstand with summer music. Rod Serlings inspiration for the childhood park in Twilight Zone walking distance. Beautiful old oak forest, well kept, fantastic playground, two sports ball fields, tennis courts, pool in season.
Awesome park for kids lots of great equipment. A major upgrade!
To the people who are rioting I can understand your anger what I can’t understand is how you destroy something that has to do with children when children had nothing to do with the reason you’re rioting. Why would you destroy a children’s park? Why are you hurting the children, when the children are our future? Try using your brains a little, it’s one thing to voice your opinion and to be angry... it’s another thing to hurt the children for no reason!
Amazing park!Playground is freshly rebuilt with lots of love from the entire comunity!They also have swimming for the hot summer days!
Nice atmosphere and plenty of room. Has a large playground area for children for all ages to play and get exercise along with the merry go round and pool area. Wonderful place for family time.
Rec Park is easily one of the best public spaces in Binghamton. Tons of space for kids to play on the disbility-accessible playground and plenty of benches for adults to sit and watch from. Its a lovely park to walk in as well, with lots of paved paths and lovely scenery. Some people may not like the number of squirrels, but I think theyre funny to watch.
Park is nice and clean. But people openly smoking weed in the parking lot. Listening to racist music. Itll be awhile until I bring my kids here agai . This was at 6 PM.
Beautiful park for the kids they always have stuff going on for families and its just a great place to go with your kids or for a family picnic!! Very nice park!!
For a park inside a metro, this is a great park. Its a great park even for outside a metro, but also convenient. Sports fields, public swimming pool, brand new jungle-gym, and a manicured area with some big trees. A nice place for a picnic, a game, or a dog walk. LARPer Central!
Fun for everyone, pools, playgrounds, tennis courts, picnic tables, a new chess and draughts table, spongy play ground for able and disabled. Wheel chair swing. Get in contact with parks Dept for how to operate. Baseball, 2 basket ball courts, swings for young and old. Picnic tables, toilets, showers25 cents for all children who can walk to use the pool and 50 cents for adults. A pond and spout area with a stone bench. Parking on Laurel ave side and Beethoven sideLots of fast food close by - Subway, Wendys, McDonalds, Popeys Kennedys Chicken, Dunkin Donuts Nirchis Pizza Price Chopper s little further but not far O have walked it many times. Picnic tables. Bring your happy self to this perfect space
Great place for families! In a very nice, safe neighborhood on the Westside of Binghamton. They have new playground equipment with safety features for all ages. They also have a free carousel and public pool for a small fee.
Its a lovely park with lots of space, a pool, a tennis court, baseball field, a carousel, and is wonderful to take your dogs to for a stroll, which I do almost every other day. Fortunate enough to live right by it.
Beautiful park, even though you can still smell the burnt wood from the pavillion
Amazing park lots for kids to do a large carousel play ground and pool
Play area is huge! Something for everyone. Wheelchair accessible swings. Carousel is nice.Garbage could be cleaned/picked up better.
Such a fun park. This park has kids of ramps which make it ideal for wheel chair bound children. There is also a free carousel and the pool is also a must.
Lot of different swings, slides, play things for kids. Excellent free carousel!!
New playground equipment for all ages. Family friendly park.
Love the park and all children play well with others the only down fall is the drinking fountain is so far away from the play ground and they could use a concession stand
Great park for walking, jogging, or just a day with the kids. Theres a pool, newly remodeled playground, and a swing that is handicap accessible.
This is a wonderful park! The playground equipment is fantastic and handicapped friendly. My son loves the carousel and the vast amount of green space!
Its a great place for adults and children with a state of the art jungle gym ,tennis 🎾 courts, swimming pools, walking paths with canopy like trees in the summer time along with a carousel its a wonderful place to bring the whole family.
Pretty water fall. Easy walk.
Playground is awesome . the wood chips are glued to the ground now .. No more kids throwing wood chip no more getting them in your shoes an socks . grate up grade to the Mary-go-round. , pool. , basket ball courts.
Beautiful Park. My idol Rod Seeking grew up playing as a kid at this park. Im sure much has changed but the beauty is still there ☺
Great park that theyve really built up in recent years. Amazing play area, pool, carousel, and even a wheelchair accessible swing.
Recently revamped the playground which is super cool lookin! There’s free concerts here sometimes too! There’s a pretty small pool and a tennis court too. Overall pretty nice ❤️
Great park. Lots of equipment and a carousel
Lots of space. Great place for kids and adults to play. Nice big pool with separate changing rooms. Wonderful antique carousel.
Great place to bring the kids. So much to do plus the merry go round.
The new playground is amazing! Combined with the carousel makes this park a fantastic place to bring your kids to burn energy.
Best place to walk. The park is timing specific open from 6am to 9 pm.There is also an open lawn and tennis courts.Its covers a wide area. One walk around the park is good exercise.
Great place for playtime with the kids. Very clean ,has great pool ,carousel ,new playground tennis courts and alot of room to walk. Negative is no dogs allowed I believe
They have a nice carousel. People smoking weed in the above ground walkway that looks like a house.
Best place to have your kids play swim have partys like birthdays , grad. School for college, or baby showers. My kids and nephews love it and my grandbabies
Beautiful and large park. Great for walks, picnics, pick up sports games, family outings, etc. Has large playground area and swimming pool.
Fun park for kids. New playground equipment. Merry go round and large public pool. Nice place to relax and take the kids to for some summer fun!
Swimming was okay, but I feel they should open up the entire pool so people can social distance better
There is so much to do here. Took the boys swimming. Then they played basketball while i took time in the pool for adult swim. Then youngest played on the playground, great location
Wow! Amazing and peaceful place. If you want to leave this world and spend some time in nature, this is the best place. Dont forget to witness the sunset! Its way too awesome.
Beautiful park and lots of space to sun bathe or find shade to chit chat with a friend.
Special Memories-- Love the Carousel horses
The playground is amazing and accessible to wheelchairs. There is basketball courts, tennis courts and a public pool great place to spend the day
They just redid the playground and its the best in town!! Pool, carousel, fountain, basketball courts and several baseball fields. Picnic tables through out with huge gazebo. Must see
Working Vintage carousel and Wurlitzer Band Organ. Sculptured Toddler/Baby Swimming Pool as well as a seperate kiddie pool and a larger swimming pool. Diving boards have been removed sadly,as they have been from most parks in the area. First the childrens flamethrowers and now this?! Chenango State Park, may be the only one left with fully functional diving boards. Good pickup games of B-ball to be had here. Just pick up your dogs excrement and the park shines.
Its big enough so you dont have to become crowded and its has enough places to occupy your time and have fun with family.
Loved it. We rode the carousel. Lots of fun. Every time we go my daughter makes a new frind. Well be back soon.
Nice place to relax, pool, tennis courts, open fields, basketball, and benches for sitting are all available. Best of all they have a carousel for the kids
My granddaughter loved the merry go round, had a blast with her
Nice park
My kids love coming here. Beautiful playground, carousel and pool. We spend hours here!
Love the brand new playground and the carousel. The park offers plenty of shade and has a wheel chair friendly swing.
The playground was huge. My 8 year old loved it. I wish we were there when the carousel was open.
Recreation park is a quant, but comfortable little park. There isnt too much to do here. However, its a good place to unplug and unwind.
Its a good park but some visitors are annoying and very loud. The play area is state of the art and its a lot of fun to be there with kids.
Clean and well maintained park with plenty of shade. The carousel is truly a treasure, this is definitely one of Binghamton crown jewels.
Very good place to take the kids. There is so much fun for them. Wheelchair swing set for kids with disabilities.
I absolutely love how they have transformed thiis park . I also love that heyve incorporated play areas for the disableds . Now all children can have equal amounts of fun greag job
Has some nice tennis courts and fields/benches to relax. Basketball courts are not great though. Carosel is a plus tuough.
Just a wonderful place to have lunch and watch the kids and adults and their dogs 💜🐕🐩
I love rec park its the only thing I like about Binghamton I just love to play basketball there
Great park. They have a playground for the kids. Basketball courts a baseball field and tennis courts. Plus a pretty nice pool.
Needs a little clean up, but overall a great place for the kids.
Awesome park. Free to play and cheap to swim. Clean with a lot of activities for the kids!
Great place for families and kids. Well maintained and a lot of outdoor activities
Whats there to say its one of the best parks locally!!!
0 stars I hated it for my kids. Wasnt enough to do and too many grown people with no kids taking up space for my kids to play
I grew up in this beautiful park. I would give it five stars but I am fat and out of shape. Chasing my kid around really does a number on me. #mykneeshurt
An amazing Park with a play area and swings that allow the use of wheel chairs so that the Park can be truly enjoyed by all.
Very nice park. Its a shame someone burned down the huge playground structure.
Beautiful park for a walk or a bike. Huge playground, swimming pool and lots of places to relax while enjoying the scenery and fresh air.
Their water always feels amazing it not too cold it has a little chill to it the life guards are nice and chill and it never really crowd
Lots of stuff to do, You can definitely spend the entire day here.
Not worth the price, way too overpriced for the amenities. Cleaning service is poor!
Nice walking path..Nice park to take children to play with a good size play ground.. a pool.. an a Nice carousel..

2022-04-25We were looking for a fun place to meet some friends and this park was a hit! Sprawling play structures throughout the green park made it easy to find a quiet place to play. The main playground is exceptionally designed with all children in mind-including a wheelchair swing and ramps making it easy for adults to get to children who get stuck. A smaller play structure-again with a ramp-gave my young kids a place to escape to when the kids from a local school came out for recess. Park benches, seating, and close by parking and bathrooms ensured that out family will visit any time our travels take us to Binghamton!

2021-09-03This park is wonderful for the kids. It’s clean and big enough for the little ones to spread out and social distance. The carrousel is free and the ride is s really long. One time on the ride is your typical 3x length at the zoo

2021-07-03A unique experience, knowing that this is where they filmed one of the acclaimed Twilight Zone series shows. My family and I watched walking distance prior to going and rode on the carousel that was filmed in the show.

2022-04-25It was a beautiful day and everyone was in the park. Its a shame that the original one was burnt down. I was there when it opened with the new park it was beautiful it was so many things to do for the kids what fool would burn down a kids part. But thats the past and we must move on at least the children do still have a safe place to play. And people still practice social distancing.

2018-08-26This a great park and I wished I lived closer. The playground is amazing and so is the giant pool during the summer. The baseball fields are well groomed and it looks like a great place to watch kids play. I didn’t play on the tennis courts but they looked like they were well taken care of. The free carrousel is amazing and worth the trip just for that.

2020-12-03Great place in Westside Binghamton neighborhood, great for running and walking, and walking the dogs, also has a beautiful playground for kids, especially they renewed it recently, and kids love it. It also has Tennis courts. It has two parking lots, so no worries about the parking spot.
