Rochester is filled with so many great playgrounds and parks. With over 3,500 acres of nationally recognized parks to adventure and explore, here are our favorite City Playgrounds.

Cobbs Hill

80 Culver Rd, Rochester, NY 14610
Cobbs Park has a lot to offer with the reservoir, sledding hill and stroller friendly trail! But it doesn't stop there - the playground is amazing! It is so unique and sure to entertain even the older kids with the parkour obstacles and map.

Genesee Valley Playground 

​1316 Genesee St, Rochester NY 14611
Genesee Valley is an expansive park with beautiful trails. ​The playground itself is very unique. The surface is padded, there are swings for all abilities, and different structures for varying age groups. The "ropes course" appeal to older children while the various slides and spinning mechanisms appeal to the youngins. The playground is surrounded by trees and open fields and is partially fenced in.

This is a great stop for both spray park and playground activities. The splash pad has multiple fountains making this a great spray ground for kids that like to run around and through the water.

Maplewood

89 Maplewood Dr, Rochester, NY 14615
This is a fun park right within the city of Rochester. There are a few sets of exercise equipment and lots of space for running around. The playground is down hill from the road and parking lot, well secluding it from traffic. There is a large Fire Truck playring structure to climb on and a sign teaching fire safety. There are several play structures spaced apart from one another creating ample space to play and several "stations" to be discovered. ​
