Stopped in to have lunch in the park. Nice walking trails. The public golf course looked well manicured and the zoo is attached. You could make a very nice day of exploring Delaware park and the Buffalo zoo
Very nice and relaxing walk through the Japanese Garden there. Very scenic and beautiful.
We had a bit of trouble finding parking. Very nice park. Lots of trails, playgrounds, nice lake. We had a few hours to kill before our flight home and this was a great place to stretch our legs and get some fresh air.
Great place to go with a cup of coffee and watch the sunrise in the morning. The views are...just...well look for yourself, lol!!!
We did a lap around Delaware Park. Its a beautiful park, with golf, athletic fields, a juicery, and lots of street parking. The walking and bike.paths were marked and easy to navigate. It borders the Buffalo zoo, and we got to see a couple of bison.
Very pretty Japanese garden located near the Buffalo Erie museum of History. Beautiful place to take a stroll on a sunny day if you have a fascination for nature.
Excellent park with so much to do especially in the summer and Flow Jam on Monday nights. I love the rose garden and Shakespeare in the Park, and well a whole lot more but its such a shame the highway cuts into the park. Something really needs to be done about that, its time for change. Also, PLEASE PUT WAY MORE BATHROOMS AROUND THE PARK GEEZ PEOPLE ITS ABSURD THIS HAS TO BE ASKED
Beautiful trail for all to see. I can only imagine how it looks in the spring.
Ive always loved coming to this park with the dogs. Its always a good time and nice people. My dogs just love seeing all the other dogs there
Beautiful place to relax and bring the family
Been going here for like 14 years and its great. Of course during the winter its not the best but winter does they to all parks. I recommend going there and having a picnic during last spring and summer
Huge green space. We walked around for about an hour and only covered a small area. The park is clean, well maintained, and has adequate signage. Finding parking wasnt an issue.
Having lived in N.Buffalo during my high school years, Delaware Park was one of my favorite places to go. Its a beautiful park to run, jog, walk, people watch, bike, roller blade, or even have a picnic. Theres also a golf course, two small parks, an area to play basketball, soccer, and several areas for tennis too. You can even hear the animals at the zoo and see a few as well!My girls and I Pokémon hunt here whenever we are in the area and love hanging out by the cherry blossom trees. The park is kept up nicely, the trees are absolutely beautiful in the spring.People in the park are always courteous of others and often friendly. The parking is a bit rough, so if you can walk, bike, etc, I highly recommend this.Give the park a visit, you wont be disappointed!
Its a decent golf course. The problem is you might hit a stray ball on one of the par threes. You could hit a walker or biker. I would give it 3 stars but the people running the place are awesome!
I love the park and enjoy its beauty; however its time to add some paths that are more relaxing and safer for all to bike, walk, skate, scooter, run around Hoyt Lake.
Average nothing to excited to see or do other than walk and take some pictures but for sure my grandson did had a blast thats all that matters for us 👌✌️😎
Beautiful park. Almost full bloom.
Beautiful area! Lots to do and see. Great place to enjoy family, friends or just alone time.
Lovely park, people looking to walk, run, bike, rollerskate, board, golf, play basketball, hit the exercise park, play tennis, play with their dogs in the park, get a free view of the bison enclosure of the Buffalo Zoo, lay out a blanket to enjoy the sunshine, or just sit on a bench to watch the birds will find a very well-kept & clean paved road with an inner circle gravel path, both leading to a path across the Scajaquada heading to the pedestrian path that takes you to Hoyt Lake. About 1 mile all the way round the park with plenty of challenging hills & inclines. I bike this way to work several times a week, and always enjoy the way. Lots of pokestops and gyms along the way! Happy trails! 🌳🌲☀️
A wonderful walk through the Japanese Cherry 🌸 blossoms at Mirror Lake. Absolutely magnificent and breathtaking..a must see every spring
Great place on the water, food prices vary and can be on a budget or somewhat gourmet. The quality of the food is great regardless. As well as the service.
Everything is amazing here, except for the fact there is one single Porta potty for the ENTIRE park and its always practically a doo-doo art exhibit on the walls in there. They need more bathrooms!
Gorgeous park with lots of different winding paths through fields and through wooded areas and lots of places to sit in the shade, just wish there wasn’t as much garbage around :(
Independent health hosted a fun run for kids my boys were part of that through their schools. It was a great experience for our family and the park is beautiful.
Zoo was really great. Something different being able to go at night and see the polar bear sleep. Loved the experience!
Beautiful park. It has a long trail for bikes and runners. Very close to the park is a beautiful small lake called Hyot Lake. Must go there as well.
Delaware park is the centerpiece of the Buffalo park system designed by Frederick Law Olmsteds. It has plenty of wide open spaces and interesting statues. The only drawback is that it is bisected by a few major roadways.
From Shakespeare to the rosegarden this is a favorite family spot!
Nice little getaway in the city for a stroll or kids to the playground or Shakespeare in the park so many things to name definitely recommend
Love running in this park , however why are there no bathroom facilities available anywhere ?!!! The main restroom area is locked , the one Porta potty that was by the yogurt / ice cream stand was removed ! Seriously how is one supposed to enjoy any decent amount of time here when you have to worry about if you need to use a restroom ???
Its beautiful park to visit in buffalo, in winter you can do ice tubing here.You can seat beside the lake and have great view.
It is a very nice large open park with lots of places and playgrounds. People can play golf here. There are multiple basketball courts. The Buffalo zoo is also nearby. I visited Delaware park in March, which as you can see is not the liveliest time to visit it. The grass and trees were all golden color leaves and not much greenery as you see from other photos on maps. Better time to visit this park would be in summer or fall when the greenery is back and place looks more lively. There are no water bodies on this place, I dont know why many other people have included photos of it in their reviews, I was misguided by that.
Went here to fly a drone, and had a fabulous time! The only way this could be better is the landscaping. It looked a tad sloppy, but Im sure its due to the time of year. Plenty of people using this as a running spot, and going out on the water in boats. Will come again for sure!
I enjoyed a lovely afternoon at the zoo. It was great and beautiful! I bet its magical at night!
Love biking, running, and golfing at Delaware park. I ride my road bike an average of 35 miles every day and love working out at Delaware park. I love golfing and play several times each week. The coarse is very well maintained and but golf coarse workers can be a little bit rude and disrespectful. Over time they have gotten worse and have truly gotten pretty bad. Every worker at the starter booth have been disrespectful to my friends and I and i wouldn’t recommend playing here too often. Other than that the park is great to go to with family. The zoo is right next to the park and you can see some of the animal exhibits. Beautiful sensory and good place to chill
I was married in Delaware Park, a little over 7 years ago,and we loved the spot we picked. We were under the stone bridge, with just a few close family and friends. There was no one else around and we felt like we were in our own little world for those few moments. There are so many quiet and secluded spots for walks and moments of reflection. Its a great area of taking walks/runs, walking dogs, bird watching, or just sitting in the shade and relaxing.
Everything you want is there! Park, jogging, lakes, boating, soccer, golf, tennis, museums. People are pretty relaxed over there!
Visited this garden to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. The garden was beautifully laid out and the lake besides it just added to the serenity of this lovely place.
Relaxing and safe park to gather with friends and family. Full of events and activities during the summer . And awesome spot for sledding on the winter .
Cool, calm, beautiful and romantic.
I own my own Photography business, Seeloff Photography, and I shot a wedding here. We did formal photos and the view was amazing. Ive done several other sessions here as well. I love it!
Beautiful park love going for a walk there
I love Delaware Park plus they have a very nice row boat rental spot! In the summer I take a blanket and lay out just watch the clouds go by I eat some snacks
Great place as always to bring family and or lovers retreat for fresh air and a scenic spot
An absolutely fantastic park to take a stroll or take in a beautiful view of the lake, gorgeous sunsets, or the excellent playground for children. It is also our favourite place to visit on summer nights to take in a play on the hill at Shakespeare in Delaware Park. Always a fabulous place to visit!
The paths are well maintained and the Buffalonians jogging by us were unfailingly polite. 5/5. Will visit again.
Very good place for walking and play, do gym, football, tennis, etc
Love this time of year!!
Delaware Park is and always will be the best place to go for a walk, run, bike ride, playing catch with your kids, or just hanging out in the summer reading a good book. Ive been going to Delaware Park for 37 years! I love this Park! Always brings back good memories I had with my Father. I took my Son there to play catch or to fly a kite! I will always go to Delaware Park. I cant wait for the summer! ☀️⚾🏀🏏⛳🏌️♀️🥅⚽🌲🏃♀️🏃♂️😎 Lost some trees after that big wind storm last month. Very sad. Those trees were really old🙁🌲🌳🐿️ GO HAVE FUN AT DELAWARE PART THIS SUMMER!! I know I cant wait! 😁😁😄😄
Very peaceful area to hammock or hang with friends and socialize. Only thing that sucks is most people dont take care of their animals feces.
Nice place to take pictures, walk, relax, exercise, bike trails etc. Rowboat rental very affordable, + food near by. Right off of the 198 Elmwood Ave exit.
This park is beautiful. Take a look through the pictures and you will know why i absolutely love this place.
Rose Garden needs attention. Sad to see a once lovely part of the park neglected.
Very much enjoyed exploring the park! (I mean, I dont get why theres a Japanese garden in the middle of Buffalo, but its pretty 🤷)
Had a blast walking around the lake with the family and taking pics.
I love Delaware Park, I go to the side near the lake to hike everyday with my children. My 3 year old rides her bike the whole trail even up and down the gravel trails. It would be more helpful if they would make it more smooth for children with bikes. We do in all enjoy this park, although they do need inspect their playground better. I witnessed the swing break on a little girl and this probably couldve been avoided if they were properly inspected.
Great for walks, families, and picnics. If you go by the zoo you may meet some furry friends
Actually this review is about the Buffalo zoo. If you want a great walk in the park, that would be enough. Our favourites always include tigers, lions and giraffes. This time the reptile house was best. All the animals were awake and moving. That made it easy for the 4 year old to find and enjoy. The volunteer in the playroom kept asking great questions and offering educational, fun answers. Which animal has the longest tail, tongue...The polar bear and sea lion were most entertaning.
I enjoy my bike rides in the park along with friendly smiles and open spaces.
Took my 16 and 21 yr old for a ride on the flamingo boats. Beautiful day. 1/2 hour is enough in the heat, but a cooler day Id do an hour.
Excellent. God place for family tour. God place for fishing
Iam here to see my little grandson had a wonderful time
Spectacular I love the trees I love the water I love the rental boats I love being down there I love walking around I love jogging I love bringing the kids to the playground and very very very very
The history museum is a hidden gem. Fantastic WWI display. The Buffalo sports exhibit is inspiring as is the old buffalo shops display. Thats me in the old time photo studio. The museum grounds are well kept. Great place to take your kids.
Nice scenery. Plenty of places to take pics
Lives up to the reputation as the main beautiful green space in Buffalo City area. Modeled after NYCs Central Park, it is an expansive park with lots of great greenery, walking and biking trails, soccer and golf lands, Hoyt Lake with canoeing during Summer, and in close walking distance of the restaurants and shops of Elmwood Village.
Its a beautiful park, love the paths, pretty big and very clean. Love it.
The cherry blossom festival was beautiful!
Flowers blooming, people walking, fishing, pic-nic- ing, biking. Nice weather . Good time.
Interweaving foot paths through moss-covered old stone tunnels, large playground for the kids, a walk around or peddle-boat ride on Hoyt Lake... a hammock tied between two trees enjoying the sounds of nature.. a dog romping free. A Shakespeare performance over the summer.We chose Delaware Park as the site for our outdoor wedding ceremony for all of the beauty that it is.And, it is. 🤗
Great place to take a nice long walk and enjoy being outside!
Great park just for a little walking or need a quite spot. I love reading books here and listening to the birds. Great for my children just to play where I can see them. Very nice to have a park so close to our house. And feel safe while enjoying the park. And if we do get bored we can walk across the street to the Buffalo zoo and have a fantastic outing.
It was a good experience ..cool bike ride around the park and Hoyt lake shown below.
Beautiful, although would be better without the weird smell around the lake
Its all part of zoo great walkways and lots to see and do
Beautiful, tranquil park. Love the gardens outside the Marcy casino. Right now tulips are in bloom then the roses will be the focal point.
Cherry blossoms were beautiful . Walking around the park was so relaxing. Definitely a wonderful place
Should add some type of lighting throughout the park for folks who like to stroll or jog at night
Took the grandkids to go sledging down the hills. They absolutely had an awesome time. Looking forward to warmer weather when I can take my camera an capture some really beautiful foilage.
Awesome bike trail really nice to see the history museum and the art museum so close
Great place to walk, people watch and enjoy a day at the park.
Had a girls brunch. It was very good. Im a picky eater and the waiter was very helpful in getting me something I liked. Love the atmosphere. Cant wait to go back when I can sit outside.
Its the best Park in the city to get peace ☮️ of mind
Delaware park is a nice park in the middle of Buffalo. It had theater in the park , music a lake ,rose gardens anx a huge playground for the kids, nice to go on a and spend the day
We meditate @ 10 Sunday morning near sitting Abe at historical museum
The zoo was awesome, great day for a family outing,and the zoo was perfect..
Great place to just go and relax! Get away and listen to nature.
Always a nice park to walk around. Parking can be a pain depending on the day.
The Japanese Garden is absolutely beautiful. My wife and I got married here a few weeksago. A quiet, beautiful place to enjoy the moment and take stunning pictures after
The Japanese flowers on the trees were beautiful, only it started to. rain.
Nice park for Running 🏃 🏃♀️ walling and for family outing!
Always a good place to go and do plenty of outdoor activities, or even just relaxing and taking in the gorgeous weather. A nice, clean environment with very positive vibes and people.
Went to Delaware park for a concert and to take a scenic walk around. Both were great, especially since live music has not been much of a thing in life for the past year and a half! The park is beautiful and it is a fun time to use the paddle boats in the lake. I’d recommend checking it out, what do you have to lose?!
Hello world Delaware Park was the most amazing Park to walk with the family. The scenery, the miles, the time with family and the smell was all worth the Walk. I rate this park a five star one thing I do ask for is for the part commissioner to install new bathroom facilities as the bathroom facilities that is located at the park are not in good condition.This park is a park for family children to enjoy and we should not have to go all the way home in case of a bathroom emergency. Getting in shape cause for a lot of water drinkage and while drinking water cause for a lot of bathroom trips so getting the facilities in the bathroom more useful will be awesome. Thank you and have a beautiful blessed day. ❤️
Nothing says summer in Buffalo than a walk around the lake and an evening Shakespeare play.
Great park. You can fish there. Wide mouth bass. Please take care to not harm the fish and release safely. There is a bar there for drinks as well. Walking/bike path too
Delaware Park hosts many events that are awesome in Buffalo! I ran a 5k Saturday morning in support of a local non-profit and attended Shakespeare in the Park for The Tempest Sunday night. My husband and I attend both productions every season and last night was the most entertaining thus far.
Delaware Park is a huge multipurpose park. You have basketball courts, tennis courts, a section for soccer, a area also for practicing your golf swing, as well as a track for cycling or running. People also come here for events such as Shakespeare in the park, and exercising classes. The park is adjacent to the Buffalo zoo. So as you can see you can spend quite alot of time here. Well worth the visit here.
I got some really nice pictures there but thats all I went for
This side of the park is beautiful always! Rose garden is blooming now!!!
I love Delaware park it has so much potential to be a really good golf course, if they could just put some money in to it.
Nice quiet park beautiful scenery. Beautiful Chinese Garden, playground for kids, canoe rides and restaurant looking at the lake.
Its a beautiful park with walking, running, bike riding paths, a restaurant and a rose garden.
It was very nice! We rode the flamingo paddle boats and the two running the operation were so nice and accommodating! Will definitely be back! We were disappointed that the Shakespeare stage was completely gone. My granddaughters were hoping to do a tic tok video! No worries! I do hope in the future it is started back up again! Its a good time to watch area theatre performances!
Amazing establishment The park is awesome, it would get 5 stars but the playgrounds dont have ada accessibility options for children and adults with physical disabilities, and its 2021! Time upgrade the park equipment! It needs to be swings and paved walkways that let ppl with disabilities swing and push others.
The Japanese garden was lovely and not crowded at all. It was peaceful, I just wish some of the rest of the view didnt have trash in the water or graffiti on the bridge.
No matter how many times I visit this bustling hub of community activity, I am always pleased to see the diverse cross section of individuals enjoying this gem of a park. Always well maintained and clean. Big thumbs-up. 👍
Very beautiful, peaceful and natural place. Great for picnic, pictures, little dates and so much more.
What a gem! Located only a few miles from the hotel I was at. Spent a few days there
Great park to play and just hang out!
No complaints here at all. A great place to run and start any exercise. If you make your way over to the lake, there is fishing and people run RC boats. I myself ran a boat I made one sunny afternoon after a nice run, which made for a wonderful afternoon. If you want to get outside for a day; go to the park
Smooth enough for rollerblading, and enough room for walking and biking all casually at the same time. There is a lane line that protects the walkers and slower for traffic which is a nice visual for everyone to be aware of others.Some can successfully run & sprint, but likely during the day with the least foot traffic.
Great for walks, jogging, biking, or taking your dog. Theres even a golf course.
Beautiful to take a walk, relax, excise, paddle boatings and canoeing.
A lovely place for a picnic or to ride your bike around the loop! The path is very nice and clear and great for skating or anything! There’s also a small hill which is fun for wheels!
A great place to get fresh air and exercise in the city.
Love the atmosphere and grounds at Delaware Park. ❤ Definitely a beautiful ride and a great workout 🚲
Great public park with a variety of activities available
So lucky to have this beautiful park so close. It is always breathtaking, no matter the season.
Great zoo. Affordable and a nice outing for the entire family
Very beautiful place..
So much fun and so pretty!
Beautiful park in an urban environment. Peaceful and tranquil yet full of activities and life. The lake and surrounding woods are great for an easy but peaceful walk.
Part of the Olmsted Park System this park is beautifully manicured, spacious and a diverse landscape for a variety of activities. Well worth the visit for a few hours or all day if youre a nature lover.
Bring a #book and #relax outdoors in this peaceful park.
If your from Buffalo, Im sure you know that Delaware Park is an awesome place. There are so many paths and various parts that make it up as a whole. Not to mention it is home to The Buffalo Zoo. If your a visitor to our wonderful city, you will truly enjoy.
This place awesome! Very beautiful... very Buffalo...from Hoyt lake to the buffalo zoo... We come all the time and bring all the out of towners to show the best of Buffalo...
Beautiful park with lots of paths and things to see!
Easy to see the surrounding areas. Clean, safe 1 way drive thru.
Always beautiful even in Winter. Some of the paths were still a little snow/ice covered but we still had a nice long walk outside!! It was nice to see other people existing off of Zoom.
Beautiful Park. Great place to walk
Beautiful park, can walk listen to music watch acts put on by people down by Hoyt lake can rent a paddle boat or canoe only giving it a 4 star because I gave Central Park a 5 star and it doesn’t seem fair
If you want to date in Buffalo NY try taking a walk on ANY warm day (53 and up) and you will see the best mixture of regular ppl buffalo has to offer. Beware of zoo smell.. its not bad really. Great place to just be outside.
Very nice place for walking or jogging. Good place to handout with friends.
The parks historic design is still appreciated despite the late History of dividing it up. Adjacent to the art gallery and historic museum making it a wedding photography Mecca. Japenese garden, tennis courts, golf, basketball courts, paracourse, paddle boats, paved areas for cycling and roller blading and more. Perhaps they will fix up the restrooms and get to 5 stars.
This is an absolutely beautiful place to take a walk and people watch. There are a lot of dogs so be mindful of that if you dont like them. People were picnicking and had hammocks up to relax and read. They have boats you can rent and the Swan ones are super cool. Kid friendly!!!
Huge place to enjoy including the Buffalo Zoo History Museum and lots of open space to walk, bike ride etc.
Really a great park system. So many places to walk, so many open green spaces, events, the lake with paddle boats, so much to do.
Well maintained, very spacious, and a little bit of wilderness in the heart of the city. There are a couple reforestation areas that are specifically for nature to do its thing, and plenty of groomed areas for people to coexist nearby.Though events may be postponed for COVID-19, this is definitely a place you can come to enjoy your own 6ft radius of peace within chaos.
This park is a jewel of the Olmstead vision in the City of Buffalo. It has so many parts that it’s hard to describe in a review, but what I enjoy most is finding all the hidden trails that connect its components in spite of the atrocious highway the State built right thru it. Walk, run, skate, bicycle, tenis, soccer, etc. A bit of everything. And the zoo on its east end is a treat.
Beautiful grounds and trees.
Very family friendly and i love all the animals (my favorite is the Maned Wolf! Very cute!)And the gift shop is a bit pricey but worth it!
Beautiful scenery! Peaceful place to walk, ride a bike or have a picnic! Nice to have a little nature in the city.
A relaxing place to go to walk and sit with family or alone.
It was dry for walking! A few days before there were several parts that were covered with ice.It would be nice if the road around the lake could be cleared of snow so people could continue to walk easily in winter.Nice hills and scenery with ice and snow
Great place to walk, run. Beautifully designed.
Stunning park for all sorts of occasions!
Gorgeous views and very clean. Busy place but did not feel crowded do to the park size. No complaints and a great place to have a family outing or pop the question to that someone special.
We went to the zoo, the grandchildren had a blast showing us everything they knew about the animals. The facility is very much family oriented by focusing everything for the eyes of the below 3 foot tall crowd while not forgetting the parents and grandparents need to see things on their level. Id recommend if you are looking for an inexpensive family outing, go here and enjoy your day.
I was at the Buffalo History Museum. Awesome place to visit.
We like this park. Have been going for a decade. The street is excellent to jog or push a stroller around, the golf coarse is nice too. After 4 they had twilight golf, start on whatever hole you want and play til dark for $5!
Park is beautiful in the middle of the city. We went to the zoo, we parked on a side street couple of blocks up from there, the homes were outstanding. The zoo is a great little place, easily walked. Plenty to see. Great place for the kids.
Lovely and calm green space in the area. It was nice to see kids playing and dance practices around the water body.
Its an Olmsted Park. Nice place to get out for a walk, relax, etc.
Visited the Buffalo History Museum and Japanese Garden at Mirror Lake. Very interesting and garden is beautiful.
Great place to walk the dogs!
A very large park, designed by Olmsted back in the day when that was the thing to do. Its very beautiful and is adjacent to a couple of buffalos finest museums. If you havent gone to Shakespeare in the park here, you someday should, but also good for a stroll, golf, tennis, or many other recreational activities. You can even rent a paddle boat!
Beautiful good pkace to take pics, and great walking, very scenic
Beautiful park! Lots of trees make you feel like youre not in the city. Lots of shade and space. Great for kids, dogs, skating, biking or lasying around. You can walk to the zoo. Friendly people. Just a wonderful place.
A little busy for my liking- but a great park to visit in the City! Great for dogs, kids, and walking/running. Plenty of space to roll out a blanket and have a picnic or people watch. My son loves the playgrounds.
We love this park lots of nature trails
Peaceful and beautiful seanery! Nice calm lake on my friends boat! Good place for others to visit! Gods creation is wonderful, amen!
A relaxing place. This park has the potential to be almost as great as Central Park (it was designed by the same person, Frederick Law Olmsted) but instead, the freeways ruin everything and divide the park into like 5 different smaller sections.
If you like anything about the out doors but want a groomed experience, this is your place. Breath taking views and plenty to do all day. Bring the pup!!!
The best park in the city of Buffalo.
Clean, calming and beautiful. Wonderful place for photography, relaxing, walking/jogging, and more!
Its great to see all the trails being refurbished throughout the park. It was definitely necessary.
Rose garden needs attention and I dislike the pink flamingo boats. Other then that it is a beautiful place to visit. Well worth spending time here.
This is a perfect cross section of a large variety people enjoying the gift that is Delaware park. From golf to running, cycling, skating, strolling, sitting on the grass or any other solitary or participation activity.
Beautiful park with a rose garden, pavilion, rental boats, lake with a path around for bikes and walking either way its a wonderful nature trail. Get out of the city bring a picnic lunch did I mention the childrens playground and stone bridge and Shakespeare in the park all summer. Love it.
Beautiful place. Peaceful
Great park to hang out at.
Wonderful park in the heart of a bustling, great American city. Fun golf course as well, wide open layout. Can be quite challenging too. Enjoy a day in this tremendous, Olmsted park!
Plenty of space to run and keep social distance. The surroundings are unique; the zoo, Hoyt lake, museums, golfers, the rose garden, and some beautiful homes. Its as easy to find a quiet space as it is to people watch.
Beautiful park. 2 mile loop with many activities. Gorgeous!
Best park in Buffalo! Lots of things to do around here in spring/summer!
A great place to chill on weekends, or after a workday, if you live nearby.
This place is bussin, absolutely lit my family
I love the scenery & love to get my exercises here
Beautiful park with a great rose garden! My sister took a photo of my little daughter here & it was my grandmas absolute favorite. Its the only thing she wanted in her casket when she died
It is so nice that the park is blocked off to vehicle traffic right now. I feel much safer walking now.
I can only vouch for the parts I have been In. I walked Ring Road a few weeks ago. I thought it was very nice. I did see one Restroom about halfway around. No other ones.I did enjoy the sculpture of the deer. Maybe more Items of Interest to walkers would be niceI have been In the Great Meadow as well. Also very nice. I cant vouch for the golf course nor Shakespeare Hill. Never been there. Hot Lake is really nice. Especially to Jog or walk around or to Just sit and enjoy the weather.
Very nice but very busy. I would pick a weekday if possible to visit and start early. Bathrooms a struggle to locate. Beautiful foliage.
Beautiful place for pictures and more
Went with my daughter, her friend and her mother. Enjoyable visit.Spent the whole day there . Great to see the zoo animals
One of the many gems of the city and well worth a visit. I am lucky enough to live in walking/biking distance. The park itself is huge, with Delaware Ave & the 198 cutting through, but there are pedestrian bridges linking them.There are playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, Hoyt Lake, Marcy Casino, the Rose Garden, Runsey Woods- seriously, a gem!!
We come here all the time. Walks around the pond by the Albright Knox, sledding down the hill in the winter, riding bikes around the loop by the zoo in the summertime, Shakespeare in the park, bringing our frisbee golf set up or giant soccer ball. Weve had many memories made here and will continue to do so.
This is a fairly big park in downtown buffalo. The zoo is in the premises. During the winter it is easy to reach but hard to navigate. But its splendid in the summer and allows bikes walking trails dog trails and gentle cruising. Check out the woods near the Hoyt Lake which is a popular scenic walkway
Im a dog walker and I walk in Delaware Park often. We love it! Sometimes we walk at night, the paths that are going away from Hoyt Lake are not well lit. Delaware Park is so vast and some areas are better lit than others. My suggestion is to bring a friend with you besides your four legged buddies, no matter where you walk, day or night. Its always safer in numbers. We like looking at some of the great homes in the area.

2022-05-04Delaware Park and the Japanese Cherry Blossom Trees are very pretty. Everywhere is a picturesque moment. Its easy for any photographer to snap a picture and be happy with it. I flew my drone here and got some very pretty pictures!I also enjoyed seeing everyone walking their dogs, I might take my dog here sometime! Im sure itll be a great park in the summer with all the shade.

2021-08-12I just love this park. Hoyt Lake is very pretty and the park has a fantastic vibe that I love. It’s hard to describe but it’s a wonderful feel to the place. We love to ride our bike around the lake and I’ve even caught some fish there

2022-06-10The park is well kept, and is a beautiful sight. There is plenty to do, so the area can be enjoyed by all - it is really close to the Buffalo Zoo (Zoo is actually IN the park). There are a lot of events held here during the warmer months - especially runs, corportate gatherings, etc. There are facilities for tennis, golf, basketball, and a few things in between. Possibly one of the best inner city parks that Ive seen in the country!

2021-08-04It was a beautiful day to visit the animals..that seem to have a much better set-up with much more outdoor room to roam...Favorites were the Japanese monkeysJust need to have more signs that lead to exits..

2022-06-13Great park to walk your dog, run, ride your bicycle, play golf, tennis or soccer. The loop around the great lawn is 3 km (1.86 miles) and fairly flat. Buffalo Zoo is located in the Northeastern corner of the park. A juice bar on the Northwestern side. Further West in the park is the beautiful Japanese Garden and Hoyt Lake.

2022-06-28Best place you want to be!! Such a diverse group of music and people. There is Salsa lessons for $10 from 6:30 pm til 9 pm. There is also a band that plays. There is African dance with drums and its great for the soul. Stretching and feel the beat of the drums. It is a great place to be and socialize with a diverse group of people. Highly recommend it.

2022-06-28Delaware Park is one of the most beautiful in Buffalo - theres a huge loop where people tend to walk their dogs, go for a run, or just go for a stroll. There are tennis courts, golfing, and the zoo is right next door. If you walk for a bit, you can get to the lake. I definitely recommend checking it out, especially in the summer - try the flamingo boats!

2022-05-22Delaware Park is a beautiful area in Buffalo with great spots to walk, boats on the lake and just enjoying a unique part of Buffalo. The different gardens, random trails through the trees and various areas to stop in have a different feel that shows a different side to the city. Good for pictures and just overall relaxing and enjoying one of our awesome parks.
