The Park System’s historical background and range of diversity separates the System as a truly unique park experience. The heritage parks personify this the most as they date back to the early 1920’s, when the first Parks Commission visited various properties in all sections of the County to find sites of natural beauty. The four original park sites (Chestnut Ridge, Como Lake, Emery, and Ellicott Creek Park) demonstrated some of the finest natural qualities of the area including impressive ravines, gullies, waterfalls, mature forests, advantageous views, and Historic grouping of picnic shelters at Chestnut Ridge Park rolling hills. Roads, bridges, pathways, and structures were all then developed on these parks to make them a reality. Since then, many parks have been added to the System including smaller urban habitat parks consisting of just several acres, rural conservation parks of several hundred acres, and multi-purpose parks which feature golf courses and camping amenities, for example. Because of the historical nature of the Park System, as well as diverse opportunities and amenities at each and every park, there is a need to constantly maintain and improve the park sites. Many parks have rapidly grown in popularity since the last Master Plan was completed in 2003 because of new features including; mountain biking trails, Disc Golf, Pickleball courts, kayak launches, bark parks, and much more. With increased popularity comes the task to keep up with general maintenance and improvements to the Park System as a whole. Historic pump shelter at Emery Park It will be advantageous for the County to make improvements with the help of key partners and stakeholders whom can be instrumental in bringing resources and additional help in maintaining the Parks System as a destination for the region.

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.

  • 3.2.1 Inventory Criteria Because It Is Not Practical to Evaluate Every
    3.2 INVENTORY OF VISUALLY SENSITIVE RESOURCES 3.2.1 Inventory Criteria Because it is not practical to evaluate every conceivable location where the proposed ESL Project might be visible, it is accepted visual assessment practice to limit detailed evaluation of aesthetic impact to locations generally considered by society, through regulatory designation or policy, to be of cultural and/or aesthetic importance. In rural areas where few resources of statewide statewide significance are likely to be found, it is common practice to expand inventory criteria to include places of local sensitivity or high intensity of use. Resources of Statewide Significance – The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Program Policy “Assessing and Mitigating Visual Impacts” (NYSDEC 2000) requires that all aesthetic resources of statewide significance be identified along with any potential adverse effects on those resources resulting from the proposed Project. Aesthetic resources of statewide significance may be derived from one or more of the following categories: A property on or eligible for inclusion in the National or State Register of Historic Places [16 U.S.C. § 470a et seq., Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Law Section 14.07]; State Parks [Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Law Section 3.09]; Urban Cultural Parks [Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Law Section 35.15]; The State Forest Preserve [NYS Constitution Article XIV], Adirondack and Catskill Parks; National Wildlife Refuges [16 U.S.C. 668dd], State Game Refuges, and State Wildlife Management Areas [ECL 11-2105]; National Natural Landmarks [36 CFR Part 62]; The National Park System, Recreation Areas, Seashores, and Forests [16 U.S.C.
