Cazenovia Park is connected to South Park by Red Jacket and McKinley Parkways. Built in 1893, the park originally comprised 106 acres, but was expanded by 80 acres in 1925. Affectionately known in South Buffalo simply as “Caz” this park is always full of people from the neighborhood playing a pickup basketball game running through the splash pad spray jets, or relaxing by the creek. Evenings and weekends you will usually be able to take in a little league baseball or youth soccer game.
Cazenovia Park boasts one of the more mature stands of trees in the city and has been one of the focus parks in the Conservancy’s tree planting program. With more than 2,500 new trees and shrubs planted since 1999, the conservancy is committed to maintaining a healthy canopy of trees in all the parks. Adding to the park’s beauty is Cazenovia Creek, which flows through it. The Conservancy’s annual FLO Gala fundraiser hosted 400 guests for an elegant evening in Caz Park in July 2004. |
