I adore this park. Well kept paved walking/biking walkways. Beautiful treelined paths along the river. I love going here to walk and commune with nature. Plenty of areas to be alone with Mother Earth. I find it very calming and soothing to the soul. I appreciate Broome County for keeping up this wonderful treasure.
