It was initially built as a Village Park in the early 1930s, but was later acquired by Erie County in 1947. This 154-acre, multi-purpose park features many iconic old stone structures and sloping terrain that straddles the scenic Murder Creek. The dominant natural feature of the park is the 80’-high Akron Falls along the Onondaga Escarpment, which includes two VHSDUDWHFDWDUDFWVRQ0XUGHU&UHHN7KH&UHHNWKHQÁRZVWKURXJK a scenic glen within the park that includes an old manmade lake with dam, several islands, pathways and picnic areas. Numerous old, unique stone park structures dot the landscape, making this a unique ‘Heritage Park’ in the Parks System. PARK AND AREA HISTORY 7KHÀUVWVHWWOHPHQWLQWKHDUHDEHJDQLQDQGIROORZLQJa rapid development of commerce and industry, the Village of Akron was incorporated in 1849. Cement and gypsum industries sustained the Akron economy for over a century. In fact, once nicknamed the “Cement City,” an old news article from 1884 states that “there is hardly a piece of masonry of any importance from the Hudson River to the Rocky Mountains into which it [Akron Cement] has not entered as one of its component parts.” In fact, there is a strong connection between the cement industry with the Akron Falls Park, including a series of mines underneath the falls and park.

When the County Parks System was established in 1925, there were initially four parks. Now, almost 100 years later, the system is comprised of 40 sites throughout the County, and provides something for everyone from recreational sports fields to cascading waterfalls, hiking trails, biking pathways, sitting and relaxing in nature, wildlife observing, and much more. The County Parks System providing some of the most popular places to sled, cross- country-ski and ice-skate throughout the winter season. Each season of the year presents great opportunities for the public to enjoy the diverse park settings. The Erie County Parks Master Plan Update, which was initiated in 2016, is primarily focused on the preservation, enhancement, and improvement of the existing system assets and landscape setting. Previous County Parks Master Plans were completed approximately in 15 year intervals, the last one in 2003. The planning process consisted of public consultation, stakeholder meetings with over 65 local groups and agencies, a parks user survey, numerous Historic photograph of Chestnut Ridge Park meetings, and work sessions. Physical assessment included inventory of all notable assets within the MISSION STATEMENT County’s heritage parks, and many site visits during different times of the year.

Wetland species are well represented in sanctuaries, but calciphilic species are not. Minor political districts are ranked by richness in numbers of species, especially those of restricted habitat. Botanically significant areas are listed. iv Floristics and En,ironmental Planning CONSERVATION AND PLANT MAPPING This publication is primarily intended for persons concerned with environmental planning and conservation. Analysis of the known distribution of plant species by the compilation of "dot maps" enables areas of species richness, diversity, and habitat restriction to be dis­ tinguished.
