We initially went to go swimming at the beach. It was closed as of Aug. 23. We were bummed that they didnt post the notice on their web page. We did check the web page before we departed. Anyways the park it self was beautiful. There were plenty of picnic tables to hang out on. The playground was cool. Downside there was a lot of people at the play ground. Be careful if your eating food there because the seagulls are vicious. If you are looking for a nice relaxing spot to hang out check it out! Your a very short distance to ice cream. Park was readily available.

Every time I go here, its always an extremely pleasant, and relaxing time. The area is always clean. Its always quiet. Great place to see ducks (at times). Seagulls too. I love the swings that are located by the canandaguia lady docks. Just a wonderful place.

Nice scenic walk by the water. Places to sit, grill, and picnic are readily available. Theres even a small playground for the kiddies. Free parking.

So serene, so soothingly beautiful, melts your mind with peace and fills up with natural mother blessing!

Absolutely stunning! We did a wedding at the gazebo by the lake! The wind was a lot, but it was stunning and beautiful! Very clean and very enjoyable! People were highly respectful of the wedding!

I can appreciate how nice and clean this place is. I know its all due to the gentleman from ashtray Park taking care of it for us (thank you kind sir). Did some search and rescue scent training today and talked to alot of nice people.

The park is a great place for all ages. For the kids there is a playground. Everyone else can swim in the lake, launch kayaks, walk along the lake or enjoy ice cream and beer (although not at the same time) at some local establishments! The Canandaigua Lady is also close by and offers scenic boat tours up and down the lake. A wonderful resource for Canandaigua!

No trash cans in sight! Pretty good if you like bad parks. Kudos, Kershaw!

Beautiful all year round. Swimming, fishing, boating. Great restaurants nearby. A great view of the lake and a good place to start any tour of this finger lake.

Love this park! Nice area to walk right by the lake. Relaxing and zen place to sit and eat!

Its enjoyable to walk with our dogs along the path from the loading dock at Kershaw Park up to the round-about near Canandaigua Inn on the Lake.The park has several sheds for families to gather and grills to cook on. It also has bench swings to sit on while enjoying the Canandaigua Lake view. Too bad, the view is flat. My son was comparing this to the Adirondacks, which have both mountain and lake scenes. However, this is only a 45 minute drive from Rochester, compared to 5 hours to the Adirondacks.

My husband and I just loved the beautiful Lake views and leaves just starting to turn colors. Town has really put a lot into making everything attractive but not overdoing commercially.

I love it here but would like to see the city to take over the blight across the street. It could be utilized for so much more than apartments that cant be filled. I would love to see miniature golf and more parkland accessible to the citizens of Canandaigua. Make it a true destination.

Its a pretty great place to go for parties and to just hang out. The pollution is low too. there is a dead fish problem though. Its not hard to find fish bones or actual fish on the shore or in the water. the water is pretty clean from what I can tell. a light methane smell when you pick up the sand, its not terrible, Just noticeable. The water is also really shallow which I really like! if I fall off the jet ski Im still in waist deep water, So its not likely youll drown if youre taller than four feet.

Really enjoying this get away. Beautiful park. We will be back, and we just might bring the family.

I could see my feet on the lake floor for about the 50-100 yards that I walked out! It was cool. I went to swim laps because the local gyms are closed. Beautiful views, clear water, nice people -- a great experience.

We Love walking along the lakeside at night. What a peaceful and quiet place

Kershaw Park beach was extremely clean! This is a sand beach and was so nice on our feet. There are lifeguards in duty. They have safety protocol in place for COVID concerns. 10/10. I cant wait to go back!You do have to pay to enter, but it is 100% worth it.

Proposed here! Beautiful park with a gorgeous view! Great place to spend a day in the sun.

The lake is stunning. The park has mature shade trees and picnic benches. A great spot for a swim and picnic.

Beautiful lakeside park! Only thing I would add is waste receptacle near the parking area. Lots of dunkin and ice cream containers move through the area. I picked up some litter to discard at the gas station.

A gem in the Finger Lakes. Great summer gathering spot.

Usually a great place to go. Nice water front stroll lots of benches and swings. Noticable increased police presence. Not sure what that is about, but better to see to many and not need them than to need them and theyre not around.

Love Kershaw Park. So much going on. Familys walking, having picnics, just enjoying life. Its where I go to relax and enjoy life.

Attempts are being made to force social distancing, but many are ignoring painted lines of separation. Was good until too many people started showing up. Was expected on the holiday though. The beach was welcome summer refreshment.

I love walking along Kershaw Park, especially in the morning before too many folks are arriving. Its peaceful and nice length to walk. I will probably start kayaking here next year, but its nice to get a bite around Canandaigua and walk it off here. I used to swim here as a kid but as an adult it is too crowded and the swim area too small. Great spot for walking your dog too.

Nice park along Canandaigua Lake. Restaurants, bars, ice cream and breweries within a short walk. Kayak and boat rentals, etc.

It was windy, but sunny. So my friends and I had a lot of catching up to do, so we did it over lunch, then we moved into the sun, to visit some more. Its a very active park.

Always a good time. Good place to eat lunch, no trash cans though so be aware of that.

Relaxing, laid back small part of the beach that follows social distancing. Very thankful to have this spot to relax on a hot day.

Beautiful location on the water. I really like their idea of whatever garbage you bring in you are responsible for bringing out.

Very beautiful place to be in the Summer. There are Kayak rentals, beautiful view of the mountains, and a beautiful lake. Many boats, and areas for picnics. You can also get in the water for a swim. I hughky suggest visiting in youre in the area.

Nice place for a scenic walk.

A community park by the side of a tranquil lake. Very good place for taking a walk or wedding pictures. There is a playground and a number of swing chairs in the park.

Whats not to love! Walking or sitting watching the water on the lake.picnic. kayak. Dog walkers.andmore

Nice park on Canandaigua Lake north end, plenty of stuff to do and eat

Stunningly beautiful view of the lake. Well maintained, and super clean. Plenty of room!

Phone camera didnt do the actual sky colors justice but the serenity and peace of the lake are perfect for us!

A great park that offers nice facilities and a pretty view of the lake.

Nice place to walk and in the summer you can go on the beach

Honest to god, i dont remember this we passed it in like a second. But I wanna be nice rn

Cute spot to fish and swim. Bathroom was super clean and stocked.

W have love coming here for years.

Nice place to sit, walk, have an ice cream. There are 2 breweries very near by.

We are so fortunate to have this park available to enjoy. I only wish people would be more respectful and pickup their own trash.

This park on Lake Canandaigua is a great place to walk your dog and meet people! Also you can rent a paddle board and launch yourself into the lake. I am new to this area and will continue to learn more...

Great day on the water anchored near Kershaw park. Always good time and beautiful weather

During COVID, vacations will be different....however. This place had something that rubbed me the wrong way. Firstly... beautiful lakefront!!! Easy to walk, lots of picnic tables, pavilions, quick bite restaurants, and finally Kershaw Park. You pay to use the beach, the only place you’re “allowed” to swim in that are. However you’ll see people all over the area getting in the water as they please.$5/adult, $2/kid over 5, under 5 free. Not a lot of space to sunbathe or put your things, 2 smallish grassy areas along the beach. The swimming area also small. 3 30ft sections of roped off swimming. Today only 2 areas were open with 2 life guards.THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THIS BEACH:the lifeguards have megaphones and are apparently in charge of letting every other person in the water that what they are doing is wrong, dangerous, and illegal. They shouted through their megaphones approximately every 2-3 minutes letting people know that might be trying to swim outside the dedignated area, or in kayaks, or leaving their boat in the crowd of them trying to swim to shore.It was confusing and stressful having them literally yelling at every passer by. The poor beach people had no clue what was going on. It would be cool if the lifeguards only have to watch the people in the water, you know, in front of them on the beach. I mean, I thought that’s what I was paying for. Not the strange entertainment of berating all people outside the area of our water.... which was definitely memorable. Probably a once and done kind of place.

We visit Canandaigua frequently to visit our relatives. We stayed at L nearby hotel and walk to each morning to this park and played at the playground. The park gives a nice amount of shade and plenty of equipment to play on.

Gets busy, but still a beautiful lake!

Very relaxing environment. Beautiful view of Canandaigua Lake and the hills around it. Close to activities and places to eat.

Canandaigua Lake north shore public park. Plenty of room with grills, pavilions and tables. Swings for enjoying the sites. Small watercraft launch point, watercraft rentals, and of course a nice beach!

Nice walking park with great views of the lake. Small swimming hole with lifeguards. Does cost money to get into the swimming hole but overall was a nice day.

One of our favorite parks, family friendly, playground for the kids and BBQ place for the adults

Great park. Great place for people watching. Clean and they have swinging benches

Quick lunch sitting in vehicle at Kershaw park. Lots of people coming and going. Very few parking spaces to be had!

Really nice, clean,on the lake its always on our to do when were there

Calm, peaceful, and has a great view of lake Canandaigua. Theres a bar and grill right next to the park if you want to grab something. A nice spot to go on an evening stroll and catch the sunset.

Great pla e to relax and enjoy being at the water.

Beautiful place to take family for boating or a picnic.

Beautiful, clean, friendly place. The water is perfect and the surrounding area is alive with activity.

Beautiful park to relax in and have a picnic.

This place I would give 5 stars if the COVID rules were not ridiculous. I chose to be safer by not swimming in the roped area (where there were alot of people swimming) and walked in the water and had sat in my intertube. A very nice lifeguard came over and told us we could only be in the roped area to be in the water or we could swim where all the motor boats were. So I could swim with all the people or get hit by boats!?

Lot of self important people hang here. Kind of trashy from what it used to be

Play area , clean park, ample parking space, experience the amazing view of the lake and hills behind.

Nice for taking my pup for a walk

Pretty pretty pretty nice. However lack of trash cans, actually there is non around, not even one. Bring back the trash cans please

Perfect spot for any age.

The water was nice. The water stays shallow so its easy to get a kayak out. Got a cool pic of a front.

Nice,pretty spot

Great family lake spot that Canandaigua seems to be taking away from the public.

Beautiful lakefront area with benches and a grill for a picnic. Nice pathway, beautiful for walking your dog!

Just beautiful. Scenery, people, and serenity

Very nice community park to chill

Theres no garbage cans.

I like Kershaw park it is a fun place to take a walk and look at the surroundings and also listen to nature its also very nice for children its also good place to take your dog for a walk and also to get out in this harsh time

Nice park but need trash cans!!! Lots of litter

A wonderful little lakeside park In Canandaigua

Just go look at the seasons from the gazebo in the center of the park. View the south to bare hill....what a view

Beautiful park on a lovely evening.

Beautiful. Very clean

Nice view and you can pay to get into lake at certain spot with lifeguards and changing rooms.

First time visiting and unfortunately a short one but was very nice what i did see.! Will go back!

Very relaxing place to spend time with your family.

Beautiful to just walk around

Quick place to relax

Beautiful, clean, plenty of room, tables, swings.

Beautiful fun filled park!

Almost 50 degree February day. Perfect for Kershaw.

Very crowded, quite a few flying bugs and no trash cans, otherwise beautiful place with plenty to do.

Great for off-season walking, jogging, leash law pet friendly, etc. Benches, swings, and picnic tables with lake view

I thoroughly enjoyed reading under the trees shade and seeing kids playing

Polite staff with healthy food

One of the best parks in Central New York! Cozy and classy!! Tons of great restaurants and FLCC is just up the road!! Excellent shopping on Routes 5 &20 and Route 332 (Main Street)!! There is a water park near by! Great boating, fishing, food, Lake cruises, and FUN!! FANTASTIC ON THE FOURTH OF JULY!!

Amazing place. Very peaceful.

The wildlife is amaxing. My kids love it here.

I still miss the amusement park, but its a nice little park with a playground and swimming beach. Quite near the pier.

Great area of the lake with plenty of free parking

Great walk/bike trail along the lake

Very clean, beautiful lake-side park to walk around. Pet friendly. Beer and ice cream nearby.
