De Veaux Woods State Park

De Veaux Woods State Park extends across 51 acres near Niagara Falls, featuring baseball fields, a playground, nature trails, and an old-growth forest section.

The park originated from DeVeaux College for Orphans and Destitute Children, established in 1853, and later transformed into a state park under New York management in 2001.

The park contains ten acres of old-growth forest that predates European settlement in Western New York, preserving native plant species and ecological heritage.

Visitors can access the park year-round from sunrise to sunset, with restroom facilities operating from mid-April through late October at no admission cost.

Trees within the park reach ages of 315 years, making this location a living record of regional environmental changes since pre-colonial times.
