Tinker Nature Park comprises 68 acres along the Pittsford-Henrietta town border, with trails and boardwalks for all abilities. Be sure to visit the Hansen Nature Center and check out the Tinker Homestead and Farm Museum during an open house or by appointment.
Trails & Boardwalks
The one-mile perimeter trail is flat and ideal for jogging, biking, skiing, snowshoeing, and walking.
Shorter trails branch off the perimeter path and take visitors through unique ecosystems such as woodland, wetland, and meadow.
Sit For a Spell
There are plenty of beautiful spots around here where you can relax, observe nature, or read a good book.
Tinker in Winter
Tinker Nature Park is ideal for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. When there is a significant amount of snow on the ground, skis and snowshoes can be rented at the Nature Center.
