Cazenovia Park — Local services in Buffalo

Caz Park is perfect for walking or bike riding when you want some exercise. I really enjoy bringing my 6 year old here to ride his bike. He can ride as fast as he can pedal, which gives him some freedom as opposed to riding down the street. I love that I don't have to run fast to stay up with him, since I can see him ahead within a reasonable distance.

There are three playgrounds, all a few feet from each other but they aren't very big. Also, four sets of swings are in this area. Last Summer my son, then 5 didn't care for the playgrounds too much. They are really geared more towards younger kids. By the play area there are picnic tables and benches. In the Summer the splash pad is open which is across from the playground. That part he still loves. Down the street is a basketball court and closer to Cazenovia Street you'll baseball diamonds and soccer nets(there's two nets by Potters as well). The last two are usually occupied by teams, however.

During the Summer, a farmers market is open every Sunday. I highly recommend checking it out. There are different festivals that take place in the warm...

Nice sized park with plenty of sports fields, basketball courts, a decent playground and sprinkler pad in the summer for the kids! This park is visually pleasing, tons of beautiful huge shade trees and nice landscaping. There is also easy access down to the creek to see the ducks and turtles. One complaint I have about Cazenovia Park is the road that meanders through it. This road provides easy access from Abbott Rd to Seneca St, which makes it very busy! The lack of an actual parking lot leads to visitors of the park having to park on the side of this road on both sides. This poses a safety issue as pedestrians have a hard time crossing because of the high volume of traffic. There is a 10 mph speed limit but I have yet to see it enforced. I have witnessed police in patrol cars doing well over that! My other complaint is that the park has no restrooms available unless there are soccer games going on. We have had to walk back to our vehicle to change our sons diaper or leave the park completely because our daughter had to use the bathroom. Other than that, we really enjoy this little jewel in...

This was my backyard (I lived on Red Jacket Pkwy) in the 50s and 60s when I was a boy. Such great memories! I skated in the winter and played hockey and slid around on frozen ponds, and in the summer: swimming (sometimes we'd jump the fence and swim at 3:00 after partying all night), chasing after girls on the Casino, played baseball, and annually played a neighborhood game of Thanksgiving football. Golf! What a great course! I could've been a contender had I been managed properly. I recall knocking in putts from 20 feet. Bside the creek were tall, thick trees that we'd tie ropes to and swing into the creek: GERONIMOOOO!!! I love the trees thare and can shed tears when pondering how generous they were to us as kids: extending their strong limbs for us to crawl upon and scream and yelp like wild children! Great to discover it was Olmsted who designed it. Ah, to return to those blissful days when I kissed beneath Stone Bridge, and drank beer and sang songs with schoolmates. IT ALL HAPPENED IN CAZ...
