Park Overview

Nestled along Bear Creek, Slatterly Park stretches across nearly 36 acres of greenery in the heart of Rochester. This green space blends natural beauty with recreational areas, providing a nice setting for everything from morning jogs to family picnics. Its central location in the Slatterly Park neighborhood means you're never too far from this little piece of nature.

The park offers versatility - a place for pickup basketball games, a quiet spot for watching the creek flow by, or a meeting point for community gatherings. The paved trails winding throughout are good for walking, cycling, or taking a leisurely stroll.

Amenities and Facilities

Slatterly Park offers several options for active visitors. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the two baseball/softball fields, a sand volleyball court, two pickleball courts, and a full basketball court that sees plenty of action on nice days.

If you're looking for something more relaxed, the paved multi-use trail offers a smooth surface for walks while taking in the peaceful surroundings. The park's gazebo with picnic tables can be reserved for special events like family reunions or birthday celebrations.

When nature calls, you'll discover restrooms available throughout - permanent facilities near the baseball fields and portable options by the disc golf course, pickleball courts, and basketball court. The park also features a neighborhood garden where community green thumbs showcase their skills.

Playground

Kids will make a beeline for the recently remodeled playground, which offers plenty of space to climb, slide, and explore. Parents can take a breather on the nearby benches while keeping an eye on the little ones.

The updated play equipment provides a safe environment where children can burn off energy and make new friends - always a welcome feature for families visiting the park.

Disc Golf Course

One of the park's standout features is its 9-hole disc golf course, which has been challenging players since 1978. With concrete tees and varied layouts, it accommodates both newcomers trying their first throw and experienced disc golfers working on their technique.

The course weaves through mostly flat terrain dotted with mature trees that provide both welcome shade and strategic obstacles. The proximity to Bear Creek adds to the scenic quality of your round, making even a mediocre score feel like a win.

Four-legged family members are welcome at Slatterly Park, provided they stay on leash. The paved paths and open grassy areas give your pup plenty of space to sniff and explore.
