About Freedom Park

Freedom Park is a peaceful riverside park located at the end of West Ferry Street on Unity Island in Buffalo. It offers beautiful views of the Niagara River, the Peace Bridge, and even Canada across the water. This spot is perfect for relaxing, fishing, or taking a scenic walk along the waterfront trail.

But Freedom Park isn’t just pretty—it’s also full of history. It was once part of the Underground Railroad, where freedom seekers crossed into Canada. Today, you’ll find murals and signs honoring that powerful past, including a tribute to Harriet Tubman.

The park has modern amenities too: picnic tables, grills, restrooms, open green space, and a small amphitheater for community events. Whether you’re interested in history, nature, or just want a quiet place to enjoy the view, Freedom Park is a great hidden gem to visit while you’re in Buffalo.
