Pocket Parks

Cape Vincent’s pocket parks with riverfront access provide residents and visitors with a series of scenic, accessible, and peaceful spots along the St. Lawrence River. Located at the DEC Fishery Station and at the ends of Point, Market, Real, and Kanady Streets, these parks offer a variety of public amenities including benches, picnic areas, and open views of the river and shipping channel. The DEC Fishery Station also features an aquarium, fishing and viewing platforms, and accessible facilities, making it a unique destination for recreation and education. The street-end parks, though small in scale, serve as valuable public spaces that enhance waterfront access, preserve scenic viewsheds, and contribute to the charm and walkability of the village. These parks reflect Cape Vincent’s commitment to maintaining its connection to the water and providing inclusive, low-impact ways for the public to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.
