About this park
A landscaped Olmsted-designed park along Onondaga Creek with sunken gardens, a rustic stone bridge, and well-kept walking paths over hilly ground. Reviewers come for the quiet, the abundant foliage, and the panoramic views of Syracuse from the high points. It reads as a leashed strolling park rather than an off-leash run, so plan accordingly.

Before you go
Bring a leash; this is a manicured strolling park with no fenced off-leash area. Head to the upper grounds for the city views and the quietest paths.
