Cazenovia Park–South Park System is a historic park system located in the South Buffalo neighborhood at Buffalo in Erie County, New York, United States.The interconnected set of parkways and parks was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted as part of his parks plan for the city of Buffalo, as inspired in large part by the parkland, boulevards, and squares of Paris, France.
In the late 1880s, they asked Olmsted to design a new park for South Buffalo; the eventual design included two new parks: Cazenovia Park and South Park, which was created in 1894-1900 from 156 acres (0.63 km 2) of farm land. [2] South Park eventually came to house today's botanical gardens, originally known as the "South Park Conservatory".
A farm at that location was purchased in 1890, and Cazenovia Park, straddling Cazenovia River, was built at that location. The park is in the South Buffalo section of the city. Cazenovia Creek is known for its annual ice jams in the early spring when temperatures rise.
These parks, Cazenovia and South Park, were connected by wide elm-lined streets. McKinley Parkway and Red Jacket Parkway are two of the remaining parkways that created a greenway throughout the city in the early 1900s. Cazenovia Park is the larger of the two parks. It contains two baseball and two softball diamonds.
