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 me if I get free access to places while exploring. The answer is no unless I’m invited to previews or granted behind-the-scenes access as part of my media role. Generally, I don’t mention my project, Day Trips Around Rochester, NY, because I want the same experience you would have. I create and share content simply because it brings me joy.
