Bloomer Park

Bloomer Park is a beautiful outdoor space that offers a peaceful escape into nature. With tons of well-maintained trails, it’s a haven for hikers, bikers, and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re looking for a brisk walk, a scenic run, or a challenging bike ride, the park has something for everyone. The trails wind through wooded areas, gentle hills, and open spaces, offering a variety of views and experiences. The upkeep is impressive — clean paths, clear signage, and plenty of benches and rest spots along the way. During our visit, we also took a short trip over to Yates Cider Mill, which is conveniently located nearby. It was a lovely complement to our day at the park. Yates has a welcoming atmosphere, delicious doughnuts and cider, and friendly staff. The combination of a scenic hike and a sweet treat made the whole outing feel complete. Bloomer Park is perfect for a day trip, a weekend hike, or just some quiet time in nature. Whether you’re exploring solo or with friends and family, the peaceful surroundings and quality trail systems make it a spot you’ll want to come back to again and again. A true local gem!

My family and I went to Bloomer Park for their recent, Fossils and Riverside Campfire event (cost was $10 per person). We had a great time. It was our first visit to this city park, and I was happy to see it was nicely maintained. We only stayed and hiked through a small section of the park, but it was very clean, bathrooms were available, there was a playground for kids, small grills in sections, bike repair areas could be found, and the trails had been recently upkept. The paths we followed were simple and good for families, although I would not recommend dragging a wagon or anything like that with you. There were easy to hike sections, as well as smaller, more off-road trails perfect for those that enjoy mountain biking. There was plenty of wildlife around to view, wooden bridges for crossing streams and marshy areas, and beautiful areas to relax near the Clinton River. It was honestly a great outing, and we'll definitely be back.

Beautiful place to have a gathering. Staff always making sure bathroom and trash was collected every 45 minutes. Excellent value and beautiful views

Bloomer Park is an excellent place for hiking and mountain biking. It's has technical mountain bike trails as well as moderate and casual. These levels are the same for hiking, so you can get a great workout regardless of experience level. There are multiple wood staircases of varying lengths, so it's great for stair climbing exercise. I've been coming here on/off for several years and have never had a bad experience. I've gone to other state parks where I've gotten swarmed by a lot of bugs, but for whatever reason, not at Bloomer. It's also great that it's located next to downtown Rochester, so food and drink after a casual stroll is accessible. I highly recommend Bloomer Park for hiking and biking activities.

One of the best versitile parks in rochester. They have nature trails that are amazing and make you forget you are still in the 'city'. They have several playgrounds that are in great condition. Lota of parking. They have biking events held here like competitions. Also have soccer fields.
