Better Parks Buffalo
Combine the beauty of a Nicklaus design with the wonder of an Olmsted park, to create recreation spaces, pastoral settings and an education facility like no other in America.
- Nicklaus re-designs the Delaware Park golf course, utilizing less space, thus permitting restoration of a portion of Olmsted’s original meadow; Nicklaus’ design will include pathways for non-golf use, and landscape features for winter sports and recreation;
- Nicklaus designs a second, destination golf course in South Buffalo, on a parcel adjacent to South Park, permitting removal of the present South Park golf course and full restoration of Olmsted’s world-renowned Arboretum;
- Construction of an Education Center next to South Park to provide minority youth with vocational training in: land/water conservation; course maintenance; botany; dendrology; and agronomy.
