City of Buffalo Parks and Buffalo Public Schools Facilities Improvements

In 2018, the City of Buffalo Public Schools and the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo (CFGB), identified parks and recreation facilities that required improvements to enhance the user experience, expand community access, and increase equity for Buffalo youth. After receiving a grant from the Ralph Wilson Foundation, CFGB selected SWBR to provide planning analysis and design development services to facilitate work at the 11 neighborhood parks. Following community input sessions, the multi-disciplined design team presented plans for future improvements to eleven City school and park facilities. Once implemented, these designs will enhance recreation opportunities, neighborhood character, and ultimately the health of city residents.
