Lafayette Square is a small public green space at the eastern portion of Downtown Buffalo between the public library and the Liberty building. At the center of the park is the Soldiers and Sailors monument. The park is a great shared space, and Im glad to see the police leaving the homeless alone during the day. The park was quite busy on a weekday afternoon, but there are plenty of seating area for everyone to just relax and chill.

I know there is alot of history at this small sized park. Unfortunately, I am not the person to ask about that history. I do know alot of activities happen here such as, parades, food trucks, protesting and other community activities. I think its best during the warmer weather to visit, unless you dont mind the cold.

Less traffic and slow business activities. The office I visited was closed due to Covid-19. Abnormal situation indeed.

Beautiful place to hang out in the warm weather. Lots of history at this site. Good for lunch while enjoying the sun.

This is a great place to just sit and relax, and read a book that you just borrowed from the Central Library. In worse times I sat here when I had no home to go lay my head. I sat there for several hours asking for answers to find me a place to live and I got NO answer. I had to find shelter at St. Lukes for a few years until I found a place. Take a good look around at the Soldiers and Sailors monument and the detail involved.

Fun and relaxing chill spot. Sometimes people give away free food for the homeless here. Its very pleasant to watch the city around you as you eat your picnic lunch too.

Great place to discover some Buffalo history.

Small Peaceful and historic park surrounded by tall buildings, shaded by the right amount of trees, but the vagrants and homeless around here needs to be put in check.

Its great place to chill out.

Food Not Bombs is present, giving back and paying kindness forward Saturday afternoons

Its pretty cool - needs a little TLC to make it look better

For in the heart of the city its a nice green space.

Great architecture. Great place for evening walk and relax.

Nice place to sit and read without being bothered

Very nice area with trees and very clean.

Let me ask everyone in Buffalo, an even those that come to visit is Lafayette Square somewhere You would take your children to have a lunch or just to sit an relax? How can you when there is always garbage empty beer or liquor bottles, drug baggies or worst yet needles?!

There to pick up my daughter when she gets off of work because its convenient to get her from there

Quick visit to the Hilton Hotel....

I enjoy the area

Its in a center of a busy place, ample benches and a nice marble fountain surrounded by grass and tall and shady trees. Overlooked by the Erie Library and located adjacent to public + espresso it is a really nice area to sit down and take a break. Good spot for cyclists.

The view of building are great and fantastic to look

Great place to gather during the work week for lunch

Its a nice but small park, with a big statue in the middle. Nice place to sit outside and eat your lunch on a warm day.

Amazing view of downtown here !

Great spot for pictures of downtown.

Framers market tues and thrus

Interesting part of the core of downtown Buffalo!

The good place to go to

Peaceful, nice scenery.

It is a very nice place to read or hang out and east lunch. But there are alot of homeless people in the area. So its hard to sit and enjoy yourself or lunch when people are coming up to you being for change.

Good spot to have a snack or just chill

Good place to stop for a quick and i mean quick break

The artistic structure is a treat to watch

Nice old fashioned restaurant and bar. Perfect for date and parties!

Beautiful historic landmark in the downtown area.

Like the civil war monument in the square.

Great Downtown area!

Never been there. Only drive past

Good place to sightsee if you dont mind homless people. But the PD sit there most of the day to keep things in check. If you come to buffalo, put it on your list of things to see.

I enjoyed Thursday in the square before the Canalside Events....

Talks and walks tour from Central library to north st. Down Main Street. Cold and windy today maybe next week will be better.

Rustic side of Buffalo. A must place to visit in the city.

Decent park, but the monument is riddled with rats. Many beggars in the area which is discouraging.
