About the Location
Natural Features
Located near the heart of Rochester, Kutzky Park spans 27.1 acres, providing a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. A notable feature is Cascade Creek, which winds through the grounds, creating a picturesque setting. On any given day, you might spot ducks paddling along the water or find yourself seeking shade under one of the majestic trees that dot the landscape.
The park is suitable for both solo visitors and families. Craving some movement? The walking and biking trails that meander throughout are accessible year-round, showcasing Rochester's seasonal beauty in all its glory. And if you're into bird watching or simply connecting with nature, you can find plenty of opportunities here.

For the little ones, there's a playground with modern equipment including slides and a small climbing wall that's sure to keep them entertained. The park's picnic shelter is available for rent, suitable for gatherings and celebrations. Or simply grab a blanket and claim a spot on one of the many grassy areas for an impromptu picnic whenever the mood strikes.

No matter if you're power walking or leisurely pedaling, these paved paths provide a tranquil backdrop for your outdoor activities.
