Picnic
Ralph Wilson Park is a wonderful place to celebrate with family and friends. When construction is complete, there will be eight shelters available for a variety of events, including family reunions, cookouts, birthdays, baby showers, cultural activities, church functions, and company picnics. We expect that the park’s picnic shelters will be used every weekend and many evenings. On some days, every single shelter in the park might be booked!
Permits
The two shelters near the pool are available for use during the first phase of construction. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis or by reserving through the CIty of Buffalo’s reservation process.
The shelters are available during park hours, from dawn to dusk.
Impact During Construction
Currently, the two shelters near the pool are available for use on a first come, first serve basis, or by rental reservation. These shelters may be impacted by a later phase of construction. There will be a total of eight shelters when the park transformation is complete.
