Great place in Westside Binghamton neighborhood, great for running and walking, and walking the dogs, also has a beautiful playground for kids, especially they renewed it recently, and kids love it. It also has Tennis courts. It has two parking lots, so no worries about the parking spot.

Tragically, it was recently burned but its already been rebuilt, so almost everything is new. Padded ground, swings- including special needs (the wheelchair rolls up onto it), small rock climbing wall, slides, plenty of stairs and climbers, music toys, small village... Great playground for little ones. There are numerous picnic tables, no grills. Adjoining the park is a large field, baseball field and tennis courts. There are 2 spacious parking lots. Merry go round closed in the winter.

Nice place to get away and just enjoy the fresh air or take your kids. I think they should add some grills and picnic tables though

Beautiful , spacey area.The park had a public swimming pool. Soccer filed. Children play ground.The charger for electric cars is installed in the parking lot. Its free!

Beautiful park equipped with one of the best handicapped friendly playgrounds you can find for counties! Also, includes an amazing historic carousel and bandstand with not only local ties of Endicott Johnson Shoe Company but connections to the world famous Rod Serling and his show The Twilight Zone.

I went there in 2018, its a lovely park and the carousel is the best i have ever seen. When as i hope to in 2022 i travel again to America Binghamton and recreation park will be the top of my list. Id give the park more stars if i could

Great park! It is ashame someone had to burn the playground down. What did the kids do? May they come forward who did this. May God weight on their hearts to do the correct thing.

Nice park. Well built amenities. Great for walking, jogging, reading, writing, meditating. Sadly though theres a lack of racial diversity and even more tragic are the poorly built basketball courts

I went to this park about a year ago, and it was amazing. You can feel the joy that comes free every time you enter. There is even playground equipment for disabled kids, so they can have some of the fun that we get to enjoy. A few days ago to a week ago some people burned down the park! :(, but they are now hosting times to come and clean the park. They said that their next clean up is on June 27, so feel free to come and make a difference for the greater good! :)

Amazing park!Playground is freshly rebuilt with lots of love from the entire comunity!They also have swimming for the hot summer days!

This a great park and I wished I lived closer. The playground is amazing and so is the giant pool during the summer. The baseball fields are well groomed and it looks like a great place to watch kids play. I didn’t play on the tennis courts but they looked like they were well taken care of. The free carrousel is amazing and worth the trip just for that.

Great park to walk. The playground has reopened and is improved

Cool place too hangout with friends n fam.You can play there too since its a huge ground!!

Great place for families and kids. Well maintained and a lot of outdoor activities

This is by far, the most fun park we have EVER played!

0 stars I hated it for my kids. Wasnt enough to do and too many grown people with no kids taking up space for my kids to play

The new park shows all the love people have for our community.

Best place to just relax and walk through the nature. Rec park is huge it has a swimming pool, tennis courts, football ground, slides & swings for kids plus two parking spots and the best thing it has carrousel to ride on for free.

Its big enough so you dont have to become crowded and its has enough places to occupy your time and have fun with family.

Swimming was okay, but I feel they should open up the entire pool so people can social distance better

I loved what they did to the place, better than ever

So happy the kids have somewhere to play once again

Beautiful park. Especially with all the new upgrades .

Went to play tennis. Great park, great courts, great day!

An oasis of green in the city, offering a place of serenity from the daily grind. A great place for both solitary introspection and family outings.

Beautiful....playground, tennis, pool, baseball field ..statue of Gratitude...Fountain ..Pavilion ..lots of older trees.

Nice place to go and relax during a long walk.

It was awesome I love that park

Awesome! So many things to do and theyre all well maintained (in the context of of post industrial Central New York).

I have been going here since I was a kid. Very nice.

We are the middle of a extreme heat warning so the city of Binghamton has opened up all its pools for free which is why Im here. That was really thoughtful of the powers that be and the park and pool are pretty clean but Im sure it still has its share of pee in the pool!

I like playing soccer and tennis there an awesome respectful park . I love it

A great park for some recreation activities.

It was amazing to ride the carousel during the winter to celebrate Christmas.

A delightful green oasis in the city!

What a spectacular surprise this free merry go round was! I loved riding it and being transported back to childhood.

Wonderful place to relax. The carousel is quaint. I loved riding it pretending I was in that twilight zone episode.

To the people who are rioting I can understand your anger what I can’t understand is how you destroy something that has to do with children when children had nothing to do with the reason you’re rioting. Why would you destroy a children’s park? Why are you hurting the children, when the children are our future? Try using your brains a little, it’s one thing to voice your opinion and to be angry... it’s another thing to hurt the children for no reason!

A delightful refuge amid Binghamton, Recreation Park is an established remnant of a better, bygone era

I didn’t take a ton of pictures here, but having lived in that area for years and coming back to visit and seeing this playground... I am impressed. It seems Binghamton has finally decided to clean up a little. I like that it has a lot of access for all kids: big, small, disabled, etc. I love that the spinning merry go round thing is in the ground - and the seats and doors! Way safer than when I used to play on them as a kid! I wouldn’t tell someone from out of the area that they have to come here, but if you live nearby it’s a nice place to go. I know when I visit family there we will be going again :)

What a nice place to walk the dog!

Beautiful place to have a lunch. Ride the carousel..

Great place to walk around

Construction tape all over.. playgrounds a mess.. they have a pool and its open durring a Global pandemic...

I love jog here. It has a soccer field. A couple of tennis courts. Play area and a carousel. Grass is maintained well. Good place for running/jogging.

Nice park to go with family and friends...Has swimming pool, tennis courts, carousal, basketball courts, baseball ground, and kids slides

A nice quiet place in the middle of binghamton. Though...compared to when I was a kid, too quiet. But that is everywhere.

Beautiful park, pictures were from 2019...

Awesome park! Ive never been to a park so handicapable. They had a swing and merry-go-round for those in wheelchairs. They had an awesome playground my 2 and 4 yr old loved. A free carousel in a building that last longer than any Ive ever paid for. Extremely diverse people, which I love. They had a pool, many paths to walk, several gazebos, massive playground.Definitely a place to take the family for an afternoon!

They really did such an amazing job on the remake of the park! Tons more stuff to do,more engaging and it is definitely larger,so children arent tripping over each other anymore. Also it is more safe with the semi-cushioned and stable wood chip base,AND is handicapped accessible now. Theyve given children with disabilities a chance to just be kids and have fun. So great.

Very nice park. Its a shame someone burned down the huge playground structure.

What a great surprise to drive by the park and see that the merry go round was open! So many great memories!

Beautiful park. The 100 year old carousel is fully restored and fond memory from my youth for me. I rode it many time more than 60 years ago.

Beautiful park for the kids they always have stuff going on for families and its just a great place to go with your kids or for a family picnic!! Very nice park!!

Love this park so much. Its handicapped accessible. Its also beautiful in the fall. The bathrooms at the pool area could use an upgrade.

Very nice park in Binghamton. Has a free carousel in the summer & around Christmas time decorated for the holiday.nice new playground. Basketball & tennis courts & walking trails public pool in the summer .many concerts throughout the nice weather .nice family park

Had a great time too many ducks in the area, lots of tables BBQ pits, kids play place lovely lake, well kept, even walking asphalt path, access points to River, and bike riding path for several miles if you can get a table, its beautiful its clean save for the duck poo.Spent the afternoon practicing for the September 19 Latin percussion open mic meet and greet.

Clean nice environment

Not really a fun experience.

Best park around! Big kids park and little kids park with parent benches in between. Rubber ground, so easy on the knees! Completely handicap accessible. Theres bathrooms, a pool, walking trail, tennis courts, soccer field, and carousel all within the same lot. Love the musical playground section.The only thing to note is that the elementary school across the street uses the playground for recess, so it can get chaotic if you come during recess!

This is a beautiful place to spend time with family and let the kids run around.

Threw a perfect game there.

One of my favorite local parks. The kids love the carousel and the pool, and I love the new, all-inclusive playground and the garden thats there. Rec Park music fest is also always a good time ️

Beautifully restored carousel. Free rides for everyone, not just little kids. Adults can ride on the horses. Nice park beyond the carousel with accessible playground. Has swings for infants. The carousel is open in the summer until Labor Day. Theres also a pool behind the carousel with lifeguards. Plenty of parking.

Great family atmosphere and theres a pool and playground. Lots of pokestops and 2 gyms!!

My kids love coming here. Beautiful playground, carousel and pool. We spend hours here!

Special Memories-- Love the Carousel horses

Such a fun park. This park has kids of ramps which make it ideal for wheel chair bound children. There is also a free carousel and the pool is also a must.

Absolutely awesome park for all ages and abilities. My only qualm is that I wish it was fenced in. The play area is so huge I cant always see my kids especially if they go in different directions and I cant follow them all

When you are in love with snow.

A really relaxing place to visit in the evenings. Has a lot of space to play outdoor sports and the tennis courts have been maintained well.

Nice park, the playground is great with lots of neat features. If you are interested in the Twilight Zone this is the park that the episode Walking Distance was based on. There is a plaque commemorating this in the pavilion in the center of the park. The paintings on the carousel are also Twilight Zone themed. The carousel is well maintained, clean and like all carousels in the greater Binghamton area free to ride.

It was amazing view, relaxing park.

Beautiful Park. My idol Rod Seeking grew up playing as a kid at this park. Im sure much has changed but the beauty is still there

Really nice place

This is the biggest most beautiful park in Binghamton, New York. It features seasonal swimming, tennis courts, and a beautifully restored Carousel. There are walking pathways throughout. A wonderful woodsy area to hike around in, plus a well equipped playground for the children. There are two ample sized parking lots, also handicapped accessibility.

This is the biggest park within city minutes huge play jungle gym ,carasol ,hoops,swimming pool

There is so much to do here. Took the boys swimming. Then they played basketball while i took time in the pool for adult swim. Then youngest played on the playground, great location

Beautiful place to sit and have lunch

It was great..we celebrate.. My 2 grand children... Amara & Alonso...

I havent been to this park in a while. Once they remodeled it, it is great! I have both a one year old and a thirteen year old and they both had a great time. I also noticed they added a swing for a wheelchair which I have never seen, amazing!

Very nice park. Needs a place to sit that is w/c accessible.

All the lifeguards have different rules. I have to pay a grounds fee just to sit on the grass while my family swims. Changing rules all the time about where my granddaughters can swim. They keep making them take tests to be in the deeper part. But yet my granddaughters go off the diving board at state park. I wont be going back again

Rec Park is centrally located on the Westside of Binghamton. It has many amenities, some of which are; swimming pool, tennis courts,basketball and softball fields, two basketball courts, kids playground, walking paths and a nationally famous Carousel that is free to ride! One negative thing is some nasty people dont clean up after their dogs on the pathways.

Love this park its in NY. Absolutely beautiful playground for kids, toddlers and handicapped families. Pool, ball fields, statues, gazebo, basket ball hoops and carousel. I drive over 2 hours away. Just an awesome experience for kids.

My granddaughters came in from FLA that loved that park have never seen any parts like that one

Had a picnic and enjoyed the playground then played soccer on the soccer field. Great park

Clean. But still some places under construction.

The playground was huge. My 8 year old loved it. I wish we were there when the carousel was open.

Free carousel in season. Bandstand with summer music. Rod Serlings inspiration for the childhood park in Twilight Zone walking distance. Beautiful old oak forest, well kept, fantastic playground, two sports ball fields, tennis courts, pool in season.

Its a great place to bring your family to have fun

Wonderful protest!

My grandchildren had a terrific time at the pool and play area.

Nice park with a pool

My kids always enjoy themselves as well as us. Nice amount of shade on a hot day

Kids love the carousel and brings back memories

The new playground is amazing! Combined with the carousel makes this park a fantastic place to bring your kids to burn energy.

Great playground in the area and carousel is big plus for kids. Theres a two port level 2 EV charging station at the parking lot, but its not easy finding a free port even in weekdays.

Great place to take the kids and let them get that energy that we wish we had out what else is thare to say awesome place.

Probably the best park you could ask for being in the center of town. The ties to the twilight zone are fun too
