Leave your Legacy with a Commemorative Paver
Honor loved ones and support Buffalo’s Olmsted Park System
About the Siegel Landing in Delaware Park
A Place with Purpose
The significance of the Landing marks the historic bandstand and boat launch for Gala Water, now known as Hoyt Lake. Therefore, the restoration of the Siegel Landing is a positive step towards preserving your Olmsted Parks. By purchasing a paver, you play a key role in creating a more beautiful and sustainable Olmsted Park System for future generations.
The Vision
The Landing restoration was conceived by Herb Siegel, a well-respected local attorney, philanthropist and founder of the Herb and Aaron Siegel Foundation. His life-long support of our Western New York community and the Olmsted Parks Conservancy has spanned decades. His enduring legacy is now shared through the permanence of the Siegel Landing.
A Long-lasting Legacy
The legacy of your purchase will live on forever. The Herb and Aaron Siegel Foundation has pledged an endowment dedicated to maintain the Siegel Landing in perpetuity.
”“My father’s passion for the Olmsted Parks and his past board service to the Conservancy led us to create a contribution that would last our lifetime, our children’s lifetime and beyond.”
Aaron Siegel, Board of Trustees
When you buy a paver, you leave a positive imprint on our community, honor the people and events that matter to you, and support the Conservancy’s efforts to maintain Buffalo’s Olmsted Park System.
