The Freedom Park CanAm Ride 

On Saturday, October 26th, Niagara River Greenway supported East Side Bike Club's (ESBC) and Friends of Freedom Park's (FOFP) first Freedom Park CanAm Ride. The riders journeyed from Freedom Park Buffalo to Freedom Park Fort Erie, Ontario, symbolizing the final stretch of the Underground Railroad journey from America to Canada. On the day of the ride, The Peace Bridge Authority closed off an entire lane on the Peace Bridge for the group to cross over into Canada, making the experience even more unique and unforgettable. The 15.5-mile bike ride not only commemorated those who sought freedom, but also celebrated the international connection between the US and Canada. Once the riders arrived in Freedom Park Fort Erie, they were met by the Rotary Club of Fort Erie, Freedom Park Conductors Dewitt Lee III and Saladin Quanaah Allah, and the Mayor of Fort Erie, Wayne Redekop.  

Art Mural Arrives in Academy Park!

We recently cut the ribbon on the long awaited public art piece in the Village of Lewiston.  Local artists Maureen Kellick and Dan Buttery were the master minds behind this unique piece that combines three dimensional sculpture with scenic painting. This creative piece is calling all visitors to take a selfie! You can see it for yourself at Academy Park on Center St. in Lewison.
