Frontier Park is a 32-acre green space along Cascade Creek on Erie's west side, about two miles from downtown. It offers walking trails, picnic areas, and a creek corridor that provides a genuine escape from the urban grid. The park is popular with families and joggers and connects to the larger network of trails that runs through Erie's west side toward Presque Isle.
The park has a maintained playground area and sports facilities, and the creek path is pleasant in all seasons. It makes a good morning walk before heading to Presque Isle, and is considerably quieter than the state park on a summer weekend.
