About the Business
Welcome to Kanazawa Island, one of Buffalo's hidden treasures located in the heart of the University at Buffalo's North Campus. Nestled in the serene north bay of Lake LaSalle near the Ellicott Complex, this quaint park offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling campus life. Recently revitalized, Kanazawa Island now features new sidewalks and lush tree plantings, enhancing its natural beauty and making it an even more inviting escape.
The island, accessible via a charming footbridge adjacent to Wilkeson Quad, boasts a circular sidewalk that wraps around its quarter-acre expanse. This path, newly narrowed and set back from the shoreline to prevent erosion, is crafted from a buckwheat exposed aggregate that harmonizes with the island's tranquil surroundings. As you stroll along the path, you'll be greeted by a delightful array of 12 flowering trees, including eastern redbuds, which bloom with pink flowers reminiscent of cherry blossoms in the spring.
A highlight of the island is the newly installed seal of the city of Kanazawa, Japan, Buffalo's sister city. This thoughtful addition celebrates the cultural connection between the two cities, offering visitors a unique glimpse into this special relationship.
Kanazawa Island's origins may be shrouded in mystery, but its charm and allure are undeniable. Whether you're a student seeking a quiet spot to reflect or a visitor eager to explore, Kanazawa Island provides a serene setting to unwind and enjoy nature. Experience the tranquility and beauty of this hidden gem for yourself—it's the perfect place to pause and rejuvenate amidst the scenic landscape.
