Brighton Town Park is surprisingly serene despite being bordered on one side by office buildings and across the pond by a major expressway interchange. It is located on Westfall Road, just down the street from the Brickyard Trail and around the corner from Meridian Center Park.
There is a .5-mile loop trail through a small wooded area and a paved path around a 12-acre pond, with benches for sitting and enjoying lunch. This pathway also connects to the Erie Canal Heritage Trail.

People often ask if I get free access to the places I visit. The answer is no—unless I’m invited to a special preview or offered behind-the-scenes access through my media role. Most of the time, I don’t even mention Day Trips Around Rochester, New York when I visit a place. I want to have the same experience you would.
I create and share this content because it brings me joy—and I hope it adds value to your adventures, too.
