Chestnut Ridge Park is a 1,213-acre (4.91 km2) park in Orchard Park, New York, originally named for the chestnut trees on its hills. The park is open year-round and offers tennis, hiking, camping, snowmobiling, and sledding among other activities. During the summer, the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra plays at the base of the sled hill, providing an amphitheatre like setting. On a clear day, the sled hill offers views of Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Toronto. It is the largest county park in the United States.
