"Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903) is most well-known as being the landscape designer of New York City's Central Park, yet Central Park is only a single block (OK, a massive block) of parkland in the heart of Manhattan, but in Buffalo, he was given the space and freedom and budget to build a series of parks that are linked by connecting parkways and tree-lined circles. Buffalo is regarded as the best-planned city in all of America by many. Buffalo is not merely a city with parks, but a city within a park system.
