    It looks like it is being used - see kids playing on said beach.

    Success defined by results, not repetitve posts.

    I know this is off topic, but I could not find a place to start a new thread... This comment is actually an idea.

    Since discovering labyrinths, I am disheartened that Buffalo does not have any. I heard they had one at Universalist Unitarian outside but it seems to have disappeared. Labyrinths have been around for centuries and can be a calming place. They are very spiritual and a pleasure to walk. I would love to see a public space used for a labyrinth that could be surrounded by a greenspace and available as a quiet destination in the city. Perhaps in Delaware Park, downtown or near the waterfront.

    It is just an idea which I believe could be an asset to the city if it were well planned and designed for year round use. Possibly it could be somehow sheltered in the winter and open during the warmer months.

    I would love to hear comments, ideas and suggestions on this idea. If you know of one locally, please share!

    Hopefully, enough so the city thinks of expanding it.

    I think that it may not see much use this year or next year, but as the beach expands and becomes more well known it will become a popular spot.

    Hey MRodgers, that is great news, any way to see the design or hear the plans? Thanks for sharing about Trinity.

    I know they want to take the 200k tic-tac-toe board down(interpretative facade of the ruins), but why not leave it for now. Give it a chance and see what the public thinks instead of flushing 200k down the drain. Same goes for the "commercial slip" lettering on the bridge.

    Now that the weather is warming up, I look forward to walking around down there next week! Based on the post above, I also am anxious to see this lit up at night!

    BRO...how about an article and pics of the interior of the naval park museum other than "the shed". Thanks!!

    This is another small step in developing waterfront land with free access for pleasuer and relaxation. I only hope to see it expand and be used by area people as well as visitors. Does anyone know if it can be expanded as it does seem rather small?

    This sounds so naive, but where exactly is the Erie Basin Marina? Not from here and all...

    The Buffalo News story today said that the new beach got its start when "someone suggested the idea to Brian Davis". We all know that "someone" was Newell Nussbaumer. Make sure you spell the name correctly Buffalo News!
