[3] Much of the land that currently comprises Sprague Brook Park was obtained by Erie County in 1963 as part of a larger acquisition of 2,200 acres (8.9 km2) that also included parkland near Eighteen Mile Creek, Beeman Creek (near Clarence Center), and Larkin Woods (now Franklin Gulf Park[4]).

An additional 86 acres (0.35 km2) of land was purchased by the county to expand Sprague Brook Park in 1964.

[1] Sprague Brook Park has dedicated facilities for camping, baseball, softball and tennis.

[3] A three-mile (4.8 km) groomed cross-country skiing loop and an associated warming shelter are maintained during the winter.

[6][1] Some potential future improvements outlined in the county parks' 2003 master plan include installation of scenic overlooks, development of a 'natural' hillside amphitheater, and ceasing to mow underutilized fields to allow them to undergo re-naturalization.
