Confirmed from Barry Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

Relaxed, family-friendly place with sports fields, two playgrounds and tennis courts.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“The Tops market is near so buying some snack and having it by lake next to goose might sound a nice plan (make sure to take your trashes though, the park is super clean!”

🌾 quiet & peaceful 6 mentions

“Very peaceful to run or walk in the morning like around 6am”

Located in the east Syracuse near westcott, it is a perfect place for kids and students. It has a playground, tennis and badminton courts. Besides the park, It has a walk trail opposite to it alongside a canal passing through the place. The trail is a calm and peaceful way to walk or bike.

★★★★★ — Kruti , Jul 2020

This is a fantastic park! The park ground is so fun! They even have one for better for younger kids and one for older. Swings are great too. There is also a great path around the pond it’s a good walk and beautiful.

★★★★★ — Sarah , Jun 2021

Newest discovery since my recent move to the Eastwood area. Absolute most favorite new place to take my dog! Massive park that we haven’t even been to half of yet because the Beautiful walking path around the water and hidden woods trails are glorious enough for my pup and I! Well maintained from what I can tell.

★★★★★ — Alexandra , Nov 2024

This is a great place for jogging light hiking and bird watching. I have seen some really interesting unique Birds just using the water as a fly way. One time I saw Eider ducks. It's not a huge Park there aren't really any amenities. Despite that it's a good place to do some walking relaxing or whatever.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
