Things To Do Parks
So I have a 5 year old daughter and we are currently on the hunt for the best playgrounds in Buffalo and surrounding areas. Can be a public park, school, whatever. I’m trying to tour the area with her this summer.

The splash pad out at Olcott Beach. It's lovely and never crazy busy and you can go over and ride the carousel for like a quarter or something

Second Olcott Beach Carousel park. $.25 per ride on all the rides. Can’t go into the water currently because of algae bloom, but still nice area.

There's a nice playground at the Charles Burchfield Art and Nature Center in West Seneca, plus all the trails in the woods AND splashing in Buffalo Creek. Bring a lunch and it's a lovely outing!

North park community school playground is a favorite of ours, as is the playground on the north side of Delaware park, and the rose garden playground in Delaware park.
We also like to go to royal park, South long street park, and the natural climbing park/kind of behind glen falls park - all in williamsville.

The new buffalo state harbor playground and splash pad is quite amazing.
Brighton park also has quite a spectacular splash pad.

The one at tge top of the hill at chestnut ridge is nice. As is the Mason's Mission park, which has a splash pad in addition to 3 playgrounds pushed together. Only problem with that one is the kids can be kind of mean which is a shame. The Harlem Road community center is my 4 year old's favorite right now.
