Freedom Park (formerly Broderick Park) recently underwent an $11 million makeover with improvements to the park, the Bird Island Pier and the West Ferry Street Bridge. The park is listed as a designated Network to Freedom site by the U.S. National Parks Service and recognized by historians as an historic terminus of the Underground Railroad between the United States and Canada, Located at the foot of Ferry Street on the scenic Niagara River, a plaque in the park pays tribute to the men and women who crossed the water from that point to freedom in Canada.
