Access is free and it is open to the public year-round. It is the smallest multi-purpose park operated by the Erie County Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry.[2] HistoryEllicott Creek Park was among the first parks developed by Erie County. The park was established in 1926 with the county's purchase of {{convert|40|acre|km2}} of formerly private land, and was expanded in 1936 and 1937 through the annexation of county tax foreclosures. The park's facilities and landscapes were improved substantially by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) throughout the 1930s. Ellicott Island was constructed to improve navigation on Ellicott Creek with the guidance of landscape architect Charles Ellicott.[2] The park's popularity peaked in the 1930s and 1940s. However, the park's facilities were neglected and fell into disrepair between the 1970s and early 1990s, and the park soon earned a negative reputation. Following increased county attention leading to repairs at the park in the late 1990s, the park's popularity and attendance once again increased.[1] Facilities
