This park is nicer than it looks from the road. The trails are clean and easy to follow. It has a soccer field, tennis courts, a playground, etc... I recently discovered about the painted rocks that people in Erie painted and hide. I found 4 and decided to keep the smallest one and relocated the other 3. It was fun finding them.

Wonderful park. Do yourself a favor -- in the warmer months, take a picnic and make a day of it. Plenty of trails to go around, lots of space to explore.

Incredible atmosphere. Quiet, with lots of foliage and local wildlife. Try to get there before noon before it becomes too busy.

This place was recommended by the staff at Motel 6 in Erie as a great place to walk the dog and they werent kidding. Long interweaving trails that made the medium sized park feel huge. Amazing place.

This is by far my favorite park to take my kids (ages 8, 5 and 7 months). There is a playground that usually has a bunch of kids, so there’s always someone to play with, and then when they get done with that, we take a walk or scooter ride or bicycle ride on all the trails. I also love taking them down to the creek where they can splash for a bit and explore. During the winter, it’s a also a great place to sled down the big hill or even down the little hills located throughout the park. They also have lots of great programs throughout the year for the little ones. Even though I might have my kids with me, it’s my happy place.

Beautiful outdoor venue, perfect for outdoor activities in any weather. Paths for walking, biking, grassy areas perfect for picnics, and winter brings the best place to sled! Use the area responsibly please! Clean up & leave it at least as beautiful as it was for you!

This is a lovely park with trails that go around the perimeter as well as through the park. It has a playground, bridges and many benches to rest. The trees are all labeled and the park offers educational opportunities. It also has large fields perfect for kids to play tag or to organize a game of soccer. The park is dog friends encouraged to leash pets. It is a ideal place to teach kids to bike as paths are mostly paved. Lots of young families and people on weekends so feels safe. Can get busy at times have seen used for events such as wedding photos, parties and exercise groups in the morning.

Frontier Park is one of the best public parks in Erie. It was a nice playground, and a creek running through it. Huge fields are great for sporting. As an arboretum it has lots of trees and paths the take one through the entire park. This is a great place to bike around or walk through.

Definitely the jewel of West Erie, the park features a big playground, small amphitheater, tennis courts, a labyrinth, gazebo and of course the arboretum with plaques teaching about specific trees. The bike path winds through it and I always got a kick out of riding along Bayfront and then you suddenly find yourself in this lovely park.
