PREVIOUS COMMENT:

Up until recently, this park has been operated a public swimming pond. It had become a burden to the Town of Webster as little Webster residents used the park and only people from nearby areas utilized it. It all came together when a man jumped into a portion of the swimming pond not designated for swimming to save his drowning child. He died. After an investigation, the Town seized all operations in the park. Today, it is a quiet place with paved trails where people enjoy roller blading, walking, and running.

  • Within the last year, all of the woods to the east and west of the ponds have been razed. To the west is a hotel; to the east, apartments.
  • This park is really bad now.. If you wanna listen to semitrucks and cars on the highway all day then this is your place.. i remember when I was younger coming here and you were able to swim. The ponds were double in size. The place was so much nicer and well-kept. The place is a dump now filled with trash and overgrown weeds everywhere.
