Chestnut Ridge Park

Chestnut Ridge Park

Chestnut Ridge Park is a 1,213-acre (4.91 km2) park in Orchard Park, New York, originally named for the chestnut trees on its hills. [1] The park is open year-round and offers hiking and sledding among other activities. During the summer, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra plays at the base of the sled hill, providing an ampitheatre like setting. On a clear day, the sled hill offers views of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Toronto. It is the largest county park in the United States.[2]
