Durand Eastman Park

**Durand Beach is Closed for the 2017 Season Due to High Water Levels. This information will be updated once the beach is reopened and water quality testing resumes.** Durand Eastman Park is open for all other activities. Durand Eastman Park celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009. This waterfront park offers 5,000 feet of waterfront for your enjoyment. The beach is open all summer long and is one of the few places on Lake Ontario where you can take free swimming lessons. The park also boasts two smaller lakes, hiking trails and other facilities. It was given to the City of Rochester by Dr. Henry S. Durand and George Eastman. Some people say that the park is haunted by the ghost of a woman; you are most likely to spot her in the mists around Durand Lake.
