A very odd thing happened the other day.  Buffalo’s mayor, Byron Brown, tried taking control of the Olmstead Park system.  He wants the parks to be city run instead of run by the Olmstead Park Conservancy.

The Olmstead park system consists of…

• Parks
• Cazenovia Park
• Delaware Park
• Front Park
• MLK JR. Park
• Riverside Park
• South Park
• Parkways
• Lincoln
• Bidwell
• Chapin
• Richmond
• Porter
• Red Jacket
• McKinley
• Circles
• Soldiers
• Gates
• Colonial
• Ferry
• Symphony
• McClellan
• McKinley

If you want to keep control of the parks in the current hands, (Basically if you think the city parks are running well) sign the Olmstead Park Petition.
