Maplewood Park, also known as Seneca Park West, is a landscaped public park in Rochester, New York, situated between Lake Avenue and the Genesee River. The two-mile-long (3.2 km) park features many trails along the river gorge and the river bank below, scenic views of two waterfalls and a nationally accredited Rose Garden.

The park was laid out by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, who also designed nearby Highland Park, Genesee Valley Park, and Seneca Park, which is now a zoo.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]

Frederick Douglass statue

[edit]

A statue of former slave and renowned Underground Railroad conductor Frederick Douglass which was located in Maplewood Park was vandalized and torn down over the weekend of July 4, 2020.[3][4][5] The site of the present-day park was located along the Underground Railroad where Douglas and Harriet Tubman helped shuttle slaves to freedom.[5] The statue is a replica of statue of Frederick Douglass in Rochester, New York. Removal also occurred on the anniversary of Douglas' famous 1852 anti-slavery speech at this location.[6]
