COURTS:  There will be 4 three-quarter size courts, similar to those in Central Park, being that both were originally lawn-bowling greens inside an Olmsted-designed park.

PARKING & DIRECTIONS:  The courts and lodge are located at:
 

Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy
Delaware Park
84 Parkside Ave.
Buffalo, NY 14214

Here is an aerial view of the courts with an arrow indicating the entrance to the park. You must enter from this direction. Once in the park, parking in the immediate spaces may be available. Otherwise, you will likely find parking in the Parkside neighborhood across Parkside Avenue. Give yourself ample time to park and walk to the courts.

 

WEBSITES:  Find us on the world wide web on Instagram and our Webpage.  

PARKSIDE MEADOW BAR:  In between games, you can find many of us down the street at the Parkside Meadow Bar & Restaurant.

DRESS & ATTIRE:  Whites are required for practice and play. There is no dress code for social events, but some may choose business casual with croquet flair in the evenings.

HOTELS & CITY MAP:  Some nearby hotel choices include InnBuffalo, The Richardson, The Mansion, The Edward, Oscar's Inn, or an Airbnb in the Parkside neighborhood, which is where Frank Lloyd Wright’s Martin House is located and within walking distance of the courts.
