Info

How People Get to LaSalle Park LaSalle Park is accessible by foot, public transit, bicycle, and automobile, with future plans to add access by water. Visitors can enter the park by road, a multi-use trail, or a park pathway. Area within a 10-Minute Drive to LaSalle Park Area within a 10-Minute Bike Ride to LaSalle Park Area within a 10-Minute Walk to LaSalle Park 190 At two of the three entrances, walking into the park requires visitors to cross a wide interstate highway by sidewalk on an overpass (Porter Ave.), or by pedestrian bridge (Hudson St.). The third entrance (Lakefront Blvd.) is at-grade with a narrow street in a residential neighborhood. Six NFTA bus lines with stops within a 10-minute walk of an entrance to LaSalle Park are available for public transit riders. These six lines extend in every direction to the city limits and beyond, reaching as far as Hamburg, Niagara Falls, Cheektowaga, and the University at Buffalo South Campus. Bicyclists can also access the park from all three entrances. Residents living in the Lower West Side, Downtown, Allentown, parts of the Elmwood Village, and parts of the lower East Side can all reach LaSalle Park within a 10-minute bike ride. The Riverwalk Trail and other bicycle infrastructure on city streets can access LaSalle Park from different areas of the city, and ongoing investments in bike infrastructure will continue to improve this access moving forward. By water, visitors are out of luck—for now. Although no docks or ramps designed for boaters currently exist, a site on the southern end of the park is being considered as a stop along the proposed Buffalo Blueway.
