Delaware Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the horse track of the same name see Delaware Park (race track).

Delaware Park is located in Buffalo, New York, USA. It was designed as part of a coordinated system of parks, parkways, and traffic circles in the city by Frederick Law Olmsted. Constructed in 1871 and covering 350 acres, Delaware Park is the centerpiece of the Buffalo, New York parks system.

Named simply The Park by Olmsted, it was later renamed in ultimate reference to the Lenape Eastern Algonquian tribe known to Europeans as the Delaware.
