Pricing Snapshot
The accessible playground at Tow Path Park is Erie County's first such playground within the City of Buffalo. Official county materials describe a water-themed design inspired by the Niagara River, with blue equipment and poured-in-place surfacing featuring fish graphics throughout. It is a strong pick for families who want inclusive outdoor play in a smaller waterfront park setting rather than a huge destination park.
