BUFFALO, NY — Mayor Byron W. Brown today reminded residents that 10 City splash pads are now open through Labor Day.

The splash pads made their 2021 debut on Memorial Day. In 2020, only the City’s three largest splash pads were open due to COVID-19 social distancing requirements.

“We know there’s a lot of pent up demand for outdoor water activities, so we’re excited to be able to open our popular splash pads as we move out of pandemic restrictions.” Mayor Brown said.
The City’s splash pads will be open at from 11 a.m to 7 p.m. every day through Labor Day, weather permitting.

Here’s the list of City of Buffalo Splash pads now open:

City’s Department of Public Works Seeking Public Input on Middle Main Streetscape Project

The Department of Public Works has developed two new design concept options for the Middle Main Street Streetscape Project (Main Street from Goodell Street to Kensington Avenue). The new concepts were developed based on community feedback received thus far from businesses and residents that participated in the first survey.

A new online survey is now available through July 1, 2021 on the project webpage, www.buffalony.gov/ MiddleMain, to collect public feedback on the two new design concept options. The survey responses will be used to continue developing

the street design to the point that they are ready for construction. Additional opportunities to review and provide feedback on the design will occur as the design moves through the process toward being ready for construction.
