Park: Picnic, Playground, Walk
De Witt Clinton Park is a truly family-friendly park. Because of 1996 improvements to its Erie Canal Playground, one can find play equipment, safety surfacing, painted games, swings, benches, drinking fountains, concrete play mules (named Sal, Pal and Gal) and a frog spray shower within the play area.
