Lincoln Park

Park Overview

Nestled just north of Buffalo in the town of Tonawanda, Lincoln Park spreads across a generous 31.3 acres of suburban landscape. This clean, well-kept green space offers a refreshing escape without having to venture far from the city.

With its blend of open spaces and recreational facilities, the park creates a welcoming atmosphere for everyone - no matter if you're looking for a competitive game, a family outing, or just a peaceful afternoon outdoors.

Sports and Recreation

For those who enjoy being active, Lincoln Park offers several options. The park houses several baseball diamonds and tennis courts that draw both serious athletes and casual players alike. The tennis courts are well-maintained, with surfaces and nets in good condition.

The park features a 12-hole disc golf course that opened in 2013. Complete with concrete tee pads and DISCatcher Pro targets, it offers a satisfying experience for both newcomers and seasoned players. The course thoughtfully winds through the park's natural landscape, taking you around open areas and between mature trees.

If you're looking to squeeze in a workout during your visit, you'll come across outdoor exercise equipment scattered across the grounds - a nice alternative to being cooped up in a gym on beautiful days.

Family Amenities

Lincoln Park offers plenty to keep children entertained. Several playground areas are strategically placed within the grounds, catering to children of different ages and energy levels. The multiple swing sets and slides are particular favorites, often filled with the sounds of laughter and excitement.

Hungry after all that play? The park offers numerous picnic shelters equipped with municipal grills - meant for anything from an impromptu family lunch to a planned celebration. These well-maintained pavilions can be reserved ahead of time if you're organizing something special.

Community Hub

Throughout the year, Lincoln Park hosts various community events and activities for Tonawanda residents.

Adding to its appeal, the park sits conveniently across from the town pool, which features a water slide for those hot summer days when even the shade of the park's trees isn't quite enough to beat the heat.

Facilities and Accessibility

No need to cut your visit short due to nature's call - the park maintains clean public restrooms for visitors' convenience.

Your four-legged friends are welcome too! Lincoln Park is dog-friendly, allowing leashed pets to join in on the outdoor fun. The pathways and open areas provide plenty of space for a pleasant walk with your canine companion.

Natural Setting

Lincoln Park features abundant greenery. Mature trees create patches of dappled shade around the grounds, making even summer afternoons comfortable for a stroll or a read on a park bench. The blend of landscaped areas and more natural spaces provides a peaceful backdrop for relaxation.

Keep your eyes open while wandering - squirrels and various birds are regular residents, adding life and movement to the serene setting. The park strikes that perfect balance of being close to urban conveniences while still offering a genuine connection with nature.
