Named for the French explorer, Lasalle park is host to public recreation facilities including several baseball diamonds and a football field.

The Buffalo, New York public parks and parkways system is the country's oldest coordinated system of such recreational spaces, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux between 1868 and 1896. It was inspired in large part by the parkland, boulevards, and squares of Paris, France [1]. It is currently on the National Register of Historic Places and is maintained by the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy.
