LaSalle Park
This park has become such a mainstay for me. Because of the proximity to Lake Erie the park is the perfect place to fly a kite, have a picnic (band shells are available), or simply jog. Last time I was over there I ran into a bunch of art students from Buff State. They were painting the skyline of the city.
You never know what to expect when you're there - sailing races, a concert at the pavilion... On one end of the park is the historic Colonel Ward Pumping Station. At the other is a bike trail that leads to the Commercial Slip. While you're there, be sure to visit the new Frank Lloyd Wright boathouse and the The Barkyard. Other amenities include soccer fields, softball diamonds, a playground and a community swimming pool and splash pad.
Also close by is the Buffalo Yacht Club and the West Side Rowing Club.
