friendly atmosphere, almost no cars, interesting wildlife, and you can see the buffalos in the zoo from the park. And it's free!
Wonderful park for a run or just a leisurely stroll. Pathways without cars passing you which makes the park even more enjoyable.
Delaware Park is one part of a connected link of parkways, which are lawned and treed areas connecting traffic circles which have statues or fountains in them. A fantastic cemetery is part of this "complex" in addition to the Park itself, which has a golf course on the interior and a bike or run or strolling path on the perimeter, a 1.75 mile route. While one side of the park is parallel to a four lane highway, the rest is surrounded by quiet residential streets and houses. There is a small play area for kids, and access to the Zoo on the edge. It's a great spot for getting some fresh air in a safe place in the idle of the city. Many happy memories of my jogging days and friends made in the Park. By the way, this entire complex was designed by the brilliant landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmstead, the designer of Central Park in New York.
This is an unusually nice park in the middle of Buffalo. Wonderful place to walk, walk the dog or dodge flying golf ballsGreat place to cross country ski in the winter. right next to the Buffalo zoo, near the art museum and other sites.
Delaware Park has a lot going on every single day or night. The ring road is the spot for exercisers either walking, running or biking. There are basketball games, soccer and baseball fields along with the golf course. It is usually packed so it is a safe spot to exercise during the daylight.
There's a lake in the park, and there's a hill for sledding and play equipment for the preschool set. The park is next to the Art Gallery and the Historical Society. You can bike across the lake, and also there's a spiral bike bridge across the highway near a Greek statue. There's also tennis and the Zoo.
This is a great park. Beautifully designed. Good for dog walking, bike riding, roller blading. My kids loved the loop and it was great family fun!
an architectural gem, accessible to all and used by walkers, runners, young people and old. I never tire of this park, which houses a golf course, the zoo, and is home to Shakespeare in the Park.
Festival is held in Delaware Park, very beautiful, well designed, lake, etc. There were seven (?) music stages, plus a dance stage & solo acrobatic performers, artists, & food, of course. It sounds loud, but was totally Not, only those near the stage could hear the performers. Well designed program gave an overall map & a schedule for each stage. So much talent, would definitely go again, even in the rain.
Hands down, the best park! I love Delaware park for many reasons. There are sports, basketball courts, a zoo, golfing space, ice cream stands, a bridge to the museum, a pond, etc, etc. it's beautiful winter, summer, spring, and fall. Perfect if you're going for a walk, run, or bike ride with or without the family. Perfect place to walk your dog or take your kids to a jungle gym. I love love love this park. For me it's a spiritual place, it's home.
