Northampton Park is a 973-acre regional park located in the town of Ogden, bordering the village of Brockport in Monroe County, New York. The landscape is defined by rolling hills, expansive meadows, and dense woodlands characteristic of the Erie Canal corridor region. It features the historic Ski Lodge, a structure maintained for community events, and an extensive network of multi-use trails suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and cross-country skiing. The park contains a designated area for model airplane enthusiasts and an 18-hole disc golf course. Salmon Creek traverses the property, contributing to the park's diverse riparian habitat.
