Public Works - Parks Department

What we do:

The Town of Pittsford Parks Department serves to provide and maintain high quality parks, recreation facilities, trails and open spaces that meet the full range of passive and active recreation needs of Town residents.

The Parks Department maintains nearly 233 acres of active parkland. Some of these areas include Thornell Farm Park, Hopkins Park, Great Embankment Park, and  Carpenter Park at the Port of Pittsford. These parks are host to many organized activities such as sporting events, Town celebrations, and the Summer Concert Series. King’s Bend Park accommodates many private functions with its two lodges, and its playground provides fun for many youngsters.

The Town’s open space is comprised of over 1,130 acres and includes neighborhood recreation spaces, undeveloped fields, woodlots, and working farmland. These areas serve our residents’ need for casual recreation while providing a rustic quality to our Town.

Trails and access ways in the Town of Pittsford total nearly 38 miles. Our trails provide hikers interesting destinations, quiet seclusion, and an enjoyable means to get some fresh air and exercise. Our 66 access-ways link many neighborhoods together and provide a safe means to access Town properties.

We believe that the health, well-being, and vitality of the residents and the community are enhanced through the provision of well designed, properly maintained, and aesthetically pleasing parks and public landscapes. As our park system grows, we remain committed to providing the stewardship required to ensure that these lands are available to the residents of Pittsford for many years to come.
