Central Park is a neighborhood in the City of Buffalo, between the North Park and Parkside neighborhoods in North Buffalo. The Onondaga Escarpment runs through this part of the City of Buffalo, and from the 1800s until mid 1900s there were several rock quarries located in the immediate area, from which many homes and buildings in the Central Park neighborhood utilized in their construction. The existing homes in the neighborhood date mainly from the 1890s to 1920s, and most were constructed with foundations of local limestone, and a significant number also used the limestone for the facades, mainly in the area West of Main Street.

Although there are stone houses in many parts of the city, Central Park has the greatest concentration of many of the largest and finest residences.
