Sgt. Mark A. Rademacher Memorial Park, commonly known as Hunters Creek Park, is a 760-acre (3.1 km2) park located in the Town of Wales in the U.S. state of New York. The park is operated by Erie County Department of Parks, Recreation and Forestry,[1] and is a popular destination for hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding.
According to the 2003 Erie County Parks System Master Plan, Hunters Creek Park is classified as a conservation park. These parks are managed primarily for conservation of the natural environment and passive nature-based outdoor recreation activities, and are intended to generally remain in a natural state.[2]
The largely-undeveloped park sits upon land purchased by Erie County in the 1970s. The park was re-named "Sgt. Mark A. Rademacher Memorial Park" in 1983 in honor of a 20-year-old US Army Ranger from the Town of Wales who died in the Invasion of Grenada.[1]
