Front Park
About this place
Buffalo has a citywide ordinance against open flames except at designated grilling stations, and per the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy's official FAQ, Front Park is one of only two city parks (with MLK Jr. Park) that has them; the FAQ addresses charcoal/embers disposal but does not mention propane.
