About this park
A large hilly park next to Syracuse University with a formal rose garden at the entrance and a continuous walking loop used by runners and dog walkers. The high ground near the old tower delivers the best city sunset views in town, while green space, an amphitheater, and an exercise-machine trail fill the rest. Parking near the tower fills fast at sunset.

Before you go
Time a walk for the tower loop at sunset, but arrive early since parking goes quickly. Keep dogs leashed; this is a busy multi-use park with no fenced off-leash area.
