Playground

Honestly, this is one of those spots locals keep to themselves — a solid little park right on the water where you can actually slow down for a few hours. The BBQ area makes it easy to turn a fishing trip into a proper afternoon out, and people of all ages tend to find something to do here. The pond is the real draw, so bring a rod if you’ve got one. Rochester doesn’t have a ton of places like this, so it gets appreciated.
