Welcome to the Chestnut Ridge Conservancy
Chestnut Ridge Park is a national treasure in our own backyard! Located in Erie County, just south of Buffalo in Orchard Park, NY, it is one of the largest county parks in the country. Chestnut Ridge is home to a place where fond memories have been, and will be, made for five generations and counting of Western New Yorkers.
The Chestnut Ridge Conservancy is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization established to work closely with the Erie County Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry to help establish the direction for repairs and improvements in our beautiful park. Your generous contributions of time and talent make these improvements possible.
2019 Initiatives
Along with the Park events we sponsor throughout the year (eg. fishing derby, United Way Day of Caring, Tennis Tournament, Kite Festival, Santa Land), we will also be endeavouring on some capital projects in the park as well. We’re hoping to get some if not all of the tennis courts light fixtures replaced and operating again. We have also budgeted for some additional stonework restoration and the casino floor refinishing. Lastly, we have committed $25,000 as seed funding to kick off our fund drive for a significant “all inclusive” playground to be located in the Park. Check back soon on our web-site where we will have more information on the project and ways to donate.
