	+ ------ + ''2009-11-27 14:44:40'' [[nbsp]] This is a great park, a favorite of mine to walk in. Aside from the natural beauty, which includes the wetlands and the woods, this park is in very good condition compared with Washington Grove, my usual stomping grounds, as it's not so heavily traveled. At the entrance to the park off Penfield Rd., the park signage is very clear, so it's easy to see the trails and figure out how to traverse the entire place. Can be dangerous footing after a lot of rain or during the winter when the slopes ice up. Signs are posted everywhere that dogs should be on a leash, else you risk a $75 fine according to Brighton regulations. --["Users/KatieSchmitz"]

- Be sure to walk around the entire park. Being only 17.7 acres, it doesn't take much effort. If you are daring, hike up the cliff next to the creek for a great view. There is a new walkway going through the marsh area. We are lucky to have this park, since the scumbags at Linden Associates wanted to pave the area for industrial use. People of the area fought it and won. Something to (briefly) think about while you admire the park.	+ Be sure to walk around the entire park. Being only 17.7 acres, it doesn't take much effort.
