Confirmed from Glen Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“What a beautiful park situated right in the middle of this lovely little suburb of Buffalo.”

🌳 shaded & cool 3 mentions

“Beautifully Scenic & Serene shaded Park !”

This park is beautiful. An amazing waterfall and trails make for a nice place to sit for lunch or spend a couple hours exploring. The park itself isn't all that huge, but it is a good size. The rocks are loaded with Fossils and always interesting to look at.

★★★★★ — Brian , Jul 2018

Beautiful park with a creek and waterfall. On one end you can enter and walk Williamsville's main street. There are picturesque walkways, an adorable bridge, and wonderful sitting spots. Lots to explore - would be a fun time for elementary aged children.

★★★★★ — Josh , Dec 2020

If you love taking nature walks or just want to sit by the water and chill, this is the perfect place to go. My family and I enjoyed sitting by the waterfall and taking in the scenery.

★★★★★ — Lanique , May 2024

Beautifully Scenic & Serene shaded Park !! **♿️ accessible with a warning! - the Main St entrance (under the arch sign) is at the top of the falls, and is a steep (for ♿️) path, winding HILL down into the park!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
