----South Buffalo is the home of two of Buffalo's major parks, Cazenovia and South Parks. The city of Buffalo is extremely proud of its park system which was designed by renowned urban planner, Fredrick Law Olmsted. Olmsted is largely know for designing New York City's Central Park. ---- Cazanovia Park, located in the heart of South Buffalo is full of mature trees, large green lawns, a large center casino, playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, soccer fields and baseball diamonds. Cazenovia creek runs through the center of the park adding the sound of rushing water to this natural environment.. The park is bordered by two of South Buffalo's major Commercial streets Abbott Road and Seneca Street. Located at the Cazenovia Street and Abbott Road corner of the park is a building containing a full ice rink and an Olympic sized swimming pool. The other major South Buffalo park is South Park. South Park is a large and scenic space. South Park Lake provides a natural habitat for ducks, geese and fish. During the summer it covers over with hundreds of lily pads blooming white flowers all summer long. South Park also contains the Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens, in existance for over 100 years. The large, glass, three domed conservatory shines like a diamond on a green velvet pillow. It feels almost like being transported to an old European city with the Our Lady of Victory Bascilica's great presence, quite visible from the park. The park provides area residents with wildlife and beauty all year long while the Botanical Gardens provide a strong bond between South Buffalo and the city's cultural community.
