One of the better newer all-in-one outdoor stops in the eastern Rochester suburbs, especially if your family needs inclusive play plus bathrooms, seating, and room to spread out.

Read more about this location
Shadow Pines is a strong destination-style inclusive playground stop because the Town of Penfield officially lists two inclusive playgrounds as part of its newer recreation area. Families also get practical amenities that reduce visit friction, including restrooms, an open-air pavilion, picnic tables, grills, walking trails, and parking off Whalen Road. It is best approached as a larger outdoor park visit rather than a tiny neighborhood playground stop.
