Do Fence Them In!

Sit back and relax a little with these fenced in playgrounds. Our definition of "fenced in" here is one that kids cannot easily escape from (crawl over or under) and fully surrounds the playground. Some of these have a locked gate while others have an open entrance.

Kid's Canyon

3 Vince Tofany Blvd, Greece, NY 14612

This playground is located behind the Greece Recreation Center and walking distance from the library. With the structures and set up of this playground no child would ever want to escape! But nonetheless, this playground is fully fenced in and gated with a latch! 

Perinton Community Center

1350 Turk Hill Rd, Fairport, NY 14450

Though this playground may seems exclusive with it being fully gated with a child-proof latch, it is open to the public! This playground is part of the Perinton Community Center so it may be in use by the programs there. However, there is plenty to do within the rec center and another playground (not fenced in but well removed from the parking lot and street) just down the road!

Bristol Tot Lot

500 Cooper Rd Irondequoit, NY 14617

This is a small playground that is fenced in and gated shut. Because of this, it is a breeze to keep an eye on that kiddo! Just note, there is no bathroom at this playground.

Joshua Park

Titus Ave, Irondequoit, NY 14617

This is probably the largest fenced in playground in the Rochester area complete with several separate playground structures. soccer field and track. The fence is not gated and there is an opening further down the track for a walking path. 

Pardee Play Area

113 Pardee Rd Rochester, NY 14609

Irondequoit is the place to go if looking for a fenced in playground! Here's another playground in Irondequoit that is completely fenced in (but not gated). Similar to Bristol Tot Lot, it is easy to keep track of your kid, but no nearby restrooms. 

University Avenue

740 University Ave, Rochester, NY 14607

Conveniently located in the City of Rochester on University Avenue, the playground is fully fenced in with a small opening for entrance/exiting. The playground is small put there is plenty of space for running and picnicking. 

McAvoy Park

​1579 Winton Rd N, Irondequoit, NY

Another Irondequoit playground fully fenced in with a single opening can be found on the corner of Empire and Winton. This is a small playground and great for the younger kiddos!

Henrietta Rec Center

605 Calkins Rd, Rochester, NY 14623

This is a beautifully constructed playground. It is on the smaller side, but still has 4 slides! The best part is it is completely covered and fenced in. There are even picnic benches available. Within walking distance is the Veteran Memorial playground (not fenced in but secluded)!

Heyer Bayer Memorial Park

 Rudman Rd, Irondequoit, NY 14622

This small park in Irondequoit contains a playground and open field. The playground is fully fenced in except for a small gap for the entrance. There is no gate. During our visit, part of the fence was broken exposing the open field, but still safe from the busy road. 

Barry Street Park

56 Barry St, Brockport, NY 14420

Barry Park is a large playground amongst a brockport neighborhood. The entire playground is fenced in except for a fairly large opening by the parking lot for the entrance and one other opening at the back to access the sidewalk. This playground consists of a super fun zipline and playground that kids can run back and forth to within the fenced in area. 

Sadie's Place Playground

75 Wahl Rd, Irondequoit, NY 14609

This park is almost entirely fenced in (minus the entrance). There are two large play structures, perfect for toddlers-pre teens! This park does not seem to have a lot of traffic so it's a great place to let the kids run wild. Street parking only!

Westplex Park

7 West Ave, Manchester, NY 14504

Westplex Park is fairly large and fully fenced in and gated! Though the gate has a latch, it is easy to manage by young kids. However, the fenced in area is so spacious the kids won't even feel gated in. The playground is large with lots to do and there are baseball fields and wide open spaces for the kids to run around safely within the fenced in area. Just be warned, the fenced in area is so large it may still be easy to lose sight of your kiddo, but at least you will know they haven't gone too far! No pets allowed!
