Confirmed from Yates 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.
Park with baseball diamonds, a beach, playground, and picnic tables, plus basketball and fishing.

Lake beach swimming during summer with lifeguards. Splashpad and playground for the littles. Kayak and fishing, Pavilions for cookouts, several baseball diamonds and trails connecting everything.
This is a beautiful Park right in the middle of the Village of Orchard Park. Just a short walk from my neighborhood. There are pavilions to rent for family picnics with bathroom facilities. In the summertime there is a splash pad. There is also a nice playground for younger and older kids. I love it here!
It's a hidden gem back there- swimming, kayaking, nature walks. Beautiful day to check out some fall foliage!
Also known as Green Lake. This place is a very pretty park to walk through. There's a playground for kids, there's a few paths that loop around the park, and it's very beautiful in the fall. There's a few small baseball diamonds for little league. A snack shack, with a pop machine.
