Seneca Park

Originally North Park, this three-mile preserve of forested river gorge, was renamed Seneca (which means "stone") to recognize its Native American heritage as well as the deeply cut stone in the river gorge. Another of Frederick Law Olmsted's works of living art, the park includes Trout Lake, created by damming a natural spring.

The Seneca Park Zoo was established in the park in 1894, and draws guests from all over the region. Be transported around the world as you come face to face with African elephants, southern white rhinos, red pandas, snow leopards, an Amur tiger, and much more.
