Bayview Park
Bayview Park - as its name suggests - overlooks Presque Isle Bay, offering beautiful waterfront and Presque Isle views. Along with a splash pad, the park is also home to a playground and a little free library. You will also find the new Erie sign so popular for photos on social media on the path nearby!

Frontier Park
The City of Erie's Frontier Park, with more than 1,000 trees, is full of treasures waiting to be discovered. Your kids will want to spend time at the playground, but also make time to find the labyrinth, climb trees and splash in the creek. Coming soon: New 40 foot slides on the bluff next to the playground!

McClelland Park
McClelland Park's brand new playground just opened in spring 2021. It includes a really fun zipline, lots of trails — including some that are wheelchair accessible. We also love taking our dogs to the Larry R. Fabrizi Dog Park on site!
