Buffalo, NY – A Buffalo lawmaker wants to see if it is possible to return ice skating to Hoyt Lake at Delaware Park.
Delaware District Council member Michael LoCurto says he would like to see the return of skating at Delaware Park. The Common Council is calling for a feasibility study. LoCurto says they will ask the Olmsted Parks Conservancy and Erie County for help.
