Recreation Park, located at the heart of Binghamton's West Side neighborhood, was gifted to the city by shoe manufacturing magnate George F. Johnson in 1921. This expansive park spans eighteen acres and features a blend of peaceful areas for leisure and athletic facilities, serving as a prominent gathering space for various community events.

The park is home to notable attractions such as a fully-restored 1925 Allan Herschell carousel, a bandstand, and several monuments honoring significant local figures. Over the years, significant efforts have been made to restore and maintain the park, ensuring it remains a cherished asset for both residents and visitors.
