Bounded by Creekside Drive and Niagara Falls Boulevard, the residential section of Tonawanda’s Irvington Creekside neighborhood occupies about half of the total area set aside for this subdivision of the city. The rest of the neighborhood is the northern part of Ellicott Creek Park. This provides the residents with ample opportunities for recreation and leisure in an area of supreme natural beauty. The neighborhood exudes a community ambiance where the residents regularly hold get-togethers and celebrations.
Ellicott Creek Park is the sublime venue for getting outdoors in the fresh air. With wide open spaces and wooded areas, families can arrange to have a picnic and let the children enjoy themselves on the playground. Avid anglers love the fishing experiences the park provides. For those who enjoy walking and jogging there are miles of trails, and in winter these become the trails for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.
There is one school in the Irvington Creekside neighborhood. St. Christopher Elementary School is a private school for students from pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8.
Shopping is just a short jaunt away at Tops Plaza. This shopping destination is located at the intersection of Niagara Falls Boulevard and East Robinson Road. Here there is a wide variety of stores, restaurants, grocery stores, and hair salons.
All residents can spend a peaceful day or a few hours amidst the scents and scenes of the North Tonawanda Botanical Gardens. This beautiful setting is just north of the neighborhood on Old Niagara Falls Boulevard.
