Summary
From Erie Canal National Heritage Corridor website, "The Port of Newark includes canalfront with 1,200 feet of floating docks, T. Spencer Knight Park, and a Welcome Center run by the Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce. The Canalway Trail runs through the park, bringing cyclists, runners, and walkers to the village and waterfront. The active port has attracted new businesses as well, including Erie Shore Landing-- a former industrial building just steps from the park that now offers a gift shop, café, ice cream parlor, and print shop run by The Arc Wayne. Newark's downtown district is near the port; new streetscape and landscape improvements make it safer and for pedestrians to enjoy the park and access the Village."
This park is small but very nice. The Canal trail path meanders through the park with benches to rest. There are several access friendly businesses- bakery, cafe, ice cream- close by that are run by the ARC.
