About MLK Jr. Park

MLK Jr. Park is a vibrant and welcoming green space in Buffalo that’s great for visitors of all ages. Originally designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the park features wide open fields, shady walking paths, and plenty of areas to relax or play. In the summer, families love the large splash pad, while winter transforms it into a scenic ice skating rink. There are basketball and tennis courts, playgrounds, picnic areas, and even a peaceful reflecting pool. The park also honors Dr. King with a special tribute plaza and statue. Right next door is the Buffalo Museum of Science, making this a great stop for both outdoor fun and cultural exploration. Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind, let the kids play, or enjoy some local history, MLK Jr. Park is a must-see when visiting Buffalo.
