Review & FAQ:

Formerly a private wildlife park, Buffalo Park is a 215-acre city park located on North Gemini Road. What remains of the former wildlife park includes the entrance building, the buffalo statue located at the entrance, and a pond. Today, the area features a popular 2-mile loop trail called the Buffalo Park Loop, a trail that makes up part of Flagstaff’s urban trail system.

It leads through a large open grassland area situated on top of an ancient lava flow called McMillan Mesa and then continues on through a wooded ravine. Visitors can get excellent views of the Dry Lake Hills and the San Francisco Peaks as well as wildlife like birds and mule deer. The park also has several picnic facilities.
