Wadsworth Square Park

A Historic Green Haven

Positioned in Rochester, New York, Wadsworth Square Park is one of those charming little green spaces that gives a neighborhood its character. It sits just south of the Inner Loop in the Wadsworth Square neighborhood.

Nestled between Howell and Marshall Streets along Broadway, this park has quite the backstory - it was actually a gift to the city from James Wadsworth, a forward-thinking land developer who clearly understood the value of community spaces.

What You'll Find Here

The park isn't huge, but it offers a lovely grassy area that's fantastic for throwing a frisbee, having a casual picnic, or just lounging with a good book on a sunny day. If you're bringing the kids along, they'll appreciate the playground with equipment that gives them a chance to burn off some energy.

There's also a municipal parking area to the side, which makes visiting pretty hassle-free - always a plus when you're trying to enjoy some green space in the city.

More Than a Park

What makes Wadsworth Square special isn't just the trees and grass - it's also its role in the neighborhood. It provides a green space amid the urban landscape where locals often gather.

The park regularly hosts community events and provides a space for everyday recreation in this historic corner of Rochester.
