BUFFALO, NY-- Summer is a great time to visit Delaware Park and there are some changes to let you know about.

“We are proud of this beautiful restoration, and as your Olmsted parks are on the national register of historic places, we ask that the public be patient and respectful of our hard work to keep them preserved,” stated Stephanie Crockatt, executive director for the Conservancy in a released statement. “We encourage patrons to utilize the Albright Knox’s Elmwood parking lot which is now open after hours at a reduced rate, and if you can walk or bike – or even Uber/Lyft - to please consider those options first during this busy 2017 park season.”

You'll find the handicapped parking spots closer to Lincoln Parkway, and it's added a golf cart to help out during weddngs, events and Shakespeare in the park performances.
