Red Jacket Riverfront Park is a small but useful piece of Buffalo's recovering waterfront, set on former industrial land along the Buffalo River. It has walking paths, open grass, and views across a stretch of water that still feels tied to the city's working past.
Come here for a quiet riverside pause rather than a full afternoon. It pairs well with a look around South Buffalo or the grain-elevator landscape nearby, especially if you are interested in how the city is turning old industrial edges back toward public use.
