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 (3 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.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Borrow a child and get on welfare.
Borrow a child and stay in the house all day with the child,
or go to the public park with the child, and take the child
to the welfare office and cry and say your man left you and
be humble and wear your dress and your smile, and don’t talk
back ...”
—Susan Griffin (b. 1943)
