Welcome to Outwater Park, Lockport's premier parkland. New York City has Central Park, Buffalo has Delaware Park and Lockport has, thanks to generosity of Dr. Samuel Outwater, this scenic treasure on the city's north end, near the top of the Niagara Escarpment.

Dr. Samuel Outwater (1868-1953) was the successful Lockport physician who donated to the city the land for the present Outwater Memorial Park plus money and revenue producing local real estate property to fund its maintenance and expansion. He was a descendant of Captain John Outwater who lead troops in the American Revolution. The Outwater family home at 215 Niagara Street was given to the Niagara County Historical Society for use as a museum plus a fund to expand and maintain it. He retired to sunny California and died there at the age of 95.
