Sprague Brook Park

Serving Western New York since 1963, Sprague Brook Park is an Erie County park, camp ground and recreation area. 9674 Foote Road in Glenwood, NY is the location for the park, which includes more than 2,200 acres of reclaimed state and federal land.

In the summer season, Sprague Brook Park is a reasonably priced campground, featuring 123 campsites, 30 of which are electric. Ponds, playgrounds, tennis and hiking are just a few of the summer activities. The camping season may be over for the year, but the park remains open. Admission to the park is free and there are trails that can be used year around.

Snowmobile trails, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing are popular winter time activities. There is a great sledding hill located near the newly built casino so bring a sled or toboggan!

It is never too early to start thinking ahead for next year to guarantee a reservation at a desired site. Camping reservations can be made year-round by calling 716-858-8355 M-F 8am - 3:30pm.

Another unique feature at Sprague Brook Park is the Vietnam Veteran Memorial Park. Over the years, an overgrown field with a pond along the back edge of the property has been transformed into a moving tribute to those who served in Vietnam and those who never returned. Just taking a moment to reflect in this serene setting is a humbling experience, making the trip to the park well worth it any time of the year.
