Comments

  • I was a resident of Erie for 18+ years. Presque Isle is anything but stupid. It offers views of local wildlife, public beaches, boat access, a bike path, and a great view of the city's shoreline from across the bay.
  • Great park. Makes up for what a crap city Erie is (sorry, just being honest).
