Mulroy Park

History and Background

Found in South Buffalo, Mulroy Park is a public green space with roots stretching back to 1930. The park honors the memory of John E. Mulroy, a local South Buffalo resident who left enough of a mark on the community to have this recreational area named after him.

A Fresh New Look

If you've visited recently, you might have noticed Mulroy Park looking a bit spiffier. That's thanks to a $2.5 million renovation project that has breathed new life into this community space.

At the heart of these improvements is Pierce Field, a gleaming multipurpose synthetic turf field that replaced the old playing surface. This artificial turf field isn't just pretty to look at - it's a versatile venue hosting everything from football and soccer to lacrosse games.

Since its makeover, the field has become a hotspot for community sports events, regularly hosting Catholic league soccer matches and even representing a venue for women's pro football games.

What You'll Find Here

Beyond the main turf field, there's also a grass playing field available, but it's worth noting that it's not quite as level as its artificial counterpart. The turf field is in good condition and works well for various sports.

The renovations didn't stop at the playing surfaces. You'll also find new bleachers for when you're in spectator mode, more parking spaces (though they still fill up fast on game days - consider arriving early!), and overall landscape improvements that make the park more inviting.

Nature calls? Four porta-potties are situated at the edge of the parking lot - not glamorous, but they get the job done.

More Than a Park

Mulroy Park has evolved into something of a community hub, especially for youth sports. On any given weekend, you might find kids racing across the field during flag football games or soccer matches, making the most of the high-quality playing surface.

Located about seven miles from Ralph Wilson Stadium, the park is a convenient option for South Buffalo residents looking for nearby outdoor recreation.

Whether you're playing, coaching, or cheering from the sidelines, Mulroy Park provides a solid space for local sports and recreation.
