Grippen Park, located on Grippen Avenue in Endicott, offers a new unique dimension to year-round recreation in Broome County. Visitors can enjoy a simple picnic lunch or plan a large family event in this 14-acre park. The recently renovated recreational building, originally constructed as a community ice rink in 1972, now serves as a multipurpose indoor sports facility. The park also features outdoor fields for various activities and a convenient "float-off" boat ramp providing easy access to the Susquehanna River. Grippen Park is a welcoming space for relaxation, sports, and gatherings in every season.
