Broderick Park, Underground Railroad crossing point in Buffalo, United States.
The park stretches between the Niagara River and Black Rock Canal, offering direct views of the Peace Bridge and Canadian border.
The location served as a crucial departure point for African Americans seeking freedom in Canada through the Black Rock Ferry during the 1850s.
The site includes interpretive displays and an amphitheater that educate visitors about the journeys of individuals escaping slavery via the Underground Railroad.
The park features improved parking facilities, walking paths, and green spaces following an $11 million renovation project completed recently.
The Buffalo Common Council renamed the park to Freedom Park in 2023 to reflect its role in African American liberation movements.
