Chestnut Ridge Park in Orchard Park, New York, is Erie County’s largest park, encompassing 1,213 acres and standing among the county’s earliest park acquisitions after its purchase in 1926. Named for the chestnut trees that once covered its hills, it was extensively shaped in the 1930s through Works Progress Administration development into a major public recreation area. Open year-round, it is known for hiking, tennis, disc golf, sledding, snowmobiling, scenic views, and a hill that serves both winter tobogganing and summer concerts. Its best-known natural landmark is Eternal Flame Falls, helping make the park one of Western New York’s most recognizable public landscapes.
