Confirmed from Sunshine 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.
Clean park with multiple baseball fields, plus a playground and a hill for sledding.
What runners say about Sunshine Park
“Nice park, all the kids love it and the bathrooms are pretty darn clean for a park.”
“There's a beautiful walking path that is large (great for kids bike riding also) and baseball diamonds.”
“Lots of dog walking space, trails in the woods, good playground, bathrooms and a sledding hill for the winter.”
Sunshine park is a great park. Lots of dog walking space, trails in the woods, good playground, bathrooms and a sledding hill for the winter. I can't stand swings since the kids just want to sit there and be pushed, this park doesn't have any. They have many softball fields as well if you care about that.
Nice 1/2 mile walk around the four softball diamonds on 5 to 6 foot wide paved surface. Not plowed in winter. Windy at time as it is located on the highest point in West Seneca NY. Waste bags provided for mans best friend. Lots of deer and occasionally at dusk skunks in the summer months.
Small little playground there for the kids to play on There's a really big hill just behind the playground really good for the winter time if you're looking for a nice place to go sledding or for a hill for the kids to run around on in the summer it is a little farther from the playground.
This is our number one park to go to in west Seneca, and that's saying a lot considering we have one at the end of our street! The playground is different than all the rest, the big chair is always a good talking point AND THE HILL! You can run up and down all summer and slide down on a sled in winter.
