2025 is here, and it’s going to be another incredible year at Ralph Wilson Park! We’re kicking things off with WinterFest on February 22, an afternoon full of fun for the whole family—sledding, hot chocolate, music, dancing, and more. Join us in the part of the park that remains open during construction as we celebrate winter and our amazing Ralph Wilson Park community!
We’re also celebrating the stunning progress of the park’s transformation. This massive public project—designed by the community, for the community—is coming to life beautifully. Check out the latest photos and videos on our Flickr page to see how far we’ve come. It’s a source of pride for all of Buffalo!
Ralph Wilson Park is more than a park—it’s a place to connect, celebrate, and belong. From new bridges to restored landscapes, we’re building something truly special, together.
We can’t wait to share this journey with you. Mark your calendars for WinterFest, and let’s make 2025 a year to remember!
Go Bills!
