Welcome to Ralph Wilson Park, a stunning 100 -acre waterfront park located on the picturesque shoreline of Lake Erie in downtown Buffalo, New York. Rooted in a multi-year community visioning process, Ralph Wilson Park is undergoing a remarkable transformation to become one of the most beautiful and inclusive public spaces in the country. This park is designed to serve both nearby residents and visitors from across the region and beyond. One of the park’s most exciting features is the Ralph Wilson Park Bridge, a marvel of engineering that traveled all the way from Italy to Buffalo. Its journey across the Atlantic Ocean and through the Erie Canal was celebrated by thousands across New York State, culminating in its arrival on July 16—716 Day, a nod to Buffalo's area code. This iconic bridge, transported in four massive sections, is a testament to the collaborative spirit and engineering prowess that define this project.
