Erie Harbor Park
Erie Harbor Park in Rochester, NY is a compact urban park located on the east side of the Genesee River, offering stunning views of the river, Court Street Dam, the historic Court Street Bridge, and the Lehigh Valley Railroad Passenger Station. The park is being transformed into a vibrant public space with the construction of The Promenade at Erie Harbor, a multi-use promenade and pedestrian bridge that will connect the park to Court Street and serve as a community connector and trail connector for the Genesee Riverway Trail. The project, funded by grants from the New York State Department of State, aims to drastically improve public access to the riverfront and create a valuable community asset. With its rich history dating back to the early 1800s, Erie Harbor Park features remnants of Rochester's transportation past, including stone piers that once held an elevated train track and the historic Lehigh Valley Railroad Passenger Station. The park's goals include enhancing the public open space and waterfront, improving access, extending the Genesee Riverway Trail, and providing educational opportunities for visitors.Generated from the website
