Falconer offers three distinct reasons to visit: recreational opportunities at Falconer Park, memorials and a seasonal market at Davis Park, and a launch site for small watercraft at Abe-Mattison Millrace Park. These highlights appeal to different interests—from sports and walking trails to a market visit at set times and access to the water. When planning your stay, you can first decide which experiences matter for your trip.

Falconer Park: Recreational Areas and Pavilions

Falconer Park is the largest park in Falconer. It is on Falconer’s west side, off Richard Avenue. Recreational options include ball fields, tennis and basketball courts, play equipment, and walking trails; Moon Brook Creek is also one of the park’s features. Each offering has a different focus: ball fields and tennis and basketball courts are for sports activities, while walking trails offer a different way to spend time in the park. Play equipment adds another specific attraction. This makes it easy to choose the park based on the activities you want to include in your stay.

Falconer Park also has three pavilions with picnic tables and grills. They can be reserved during the summer months. If you plan to use a pavilion, check the reservation for your preferred time and keep the seasonal condition in mind. This lets you consider not only the park’s amenities but also the option of reserving a pavilion for your picnic.

Memorials and Market at Davis Park

Davis Park is home to memorials honoring people who served in the armed forces. The “Village of Falconer Farmers’ and Artisans’ Market” is held in the same park. The market offers locally grown fruits and vegetables; the selection may vary by season. It takes place on select Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. between mid-June and September. If you want to visit the market, check the specific dates in advance, as the seasonal schedule may change. The selected Sundays and fixed hours give the market visit a specific time frame; the selection of fruits and vegetables may also change with the season.

Watercraft on the Chadakoin River

The Chadakoin River has a launch site for small watercraft such as canoes and kayaks at Abe-Mattison Millrace Park. This makes the river a distinctive feature of the park if you are interested in this kind of activity. The entrance to Abe-Mattison Millrace Park is behind Fancher Chair Company. This guidance may change, so check it before your visit.

Time Frames and Things to Do

Two conditions are especially important when planning your schedule: the market is held on select Sundays at fixed hours, while pavilions at Falconer Park can be reserved during the summer months. You can make your other choices based more on your interests: sports courts, walking trails, and play equipment at Falconer Park; memorials and the market at Davis Park; or the launch site on the Chadakoin River. This makes it possible to organize your stay around dates and activities you want to enjoy.
