- Keeping its activities mission-focused and community-based is the key to the Conservancy's success. Success has brought strength. In 2000 the Conservancy defended Front Park and Porter Avenue from an encroaching transportation project. In 2003 it successfully advocated that the Scajaquada Expressway be replaced with a calmer more beautiful parkway. In 2004 it explained the value of implementing a revolutionary urban parks management plan that is now in place.
About
The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy (the Conservancy) is a not-for-profit, membership-based, community organization. Beginning as the Friends of the Olmsted Parks in 1978, it entered a public/private partnership with the City of Buffalo in 1995. Through a City-County-Conservancy agreement that became effective on July 1, 2004, it became the first not-for-profit organization in the nation to manage a park system. Neighborhood: We are proudly running projects all over WNY. Transportation/Parking: Parking is free at all of our locations.
