Another Voice: Conservancy isn’t stalling on Nicklaus golf courses
AS A FORMER CHAIRWOMAN OF THE BUFFALO OLMSTED PARKS CONSERVANCY, I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE RECENT FLURRY OF COMMENTS REGARDING KEVIN GAUGHAN’S PLANS TO REDEVELOP THE DELAWARE PARK GOLF COURSE, RELOCATE THE GOLF COURSE IN SOUTH PARK AND RESTORE THE SOUTH PARK ARBORETUM.
I do not speak for the conservancy but as someone who is passionate about restoring the integrity of Frederick Law Olmsted’s magnificent landscapes.

Another Voice: What would Olmsted do about the Scajaquada?
FREDERICK LAW OLMSTED WAS OUR COUNTRY’S FIRST AND FINEST LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT. HE CAME TO BUFFALO IN 1868 AND DESIGNED THE NATION’S FIRST SYSTEM OF URBAN PARKS, PARKWAYS AND CIRCLES.
The Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy is the steward of his genius. In applying it to everyday park solutions, its responsibility is to ask, “What would Olmsted do?”

Get Outside
THE DELAWARE PARK GOLF COURSE, PAST AND FUTURE
When I feel like golfing, but don’t want to drive very far or spend a lot of money, I head over to Delaware Park for a quick round. I play alone or join up with others.
