About the Venue

Playground for All at Chestnut Ridge Park is Erie County's flagship accessible playground and one of the strongest destination options in the region. The playground sits adjacent to the Chestnut Ridge Casino and includes accessible play features, improved walkways from the resurfaced parking lot, and nearby picnic infrastructure within one of the county's best-known parks. Families can pair playground time with broader park amenities, but this is still an outdoor park visit with variable weather, terrain, and stimulation depending on the day.
