Confirmed from Lake Ronkonkoma County Park Home of Syag Sports' 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.
Lakeside park with baseball fields, basketball & handball courts, plus a fishing pier & picnic area.
What runners say about Lake Ronkonkoma County Park Home of Syag Sports
“It also has restrooms, by the way it might be public but they are clean.”
“Beautiful has a kiddie park for little ones and 5 to 12 age park separate, some people fish and there is plenty of sand, places to sit and I saw grills.”
“Wear sunscreen- no shade on the playground area during peak hours but plenty of trees around it where you can go for shade.”
“It was very nice and quiet place my kids enjoyed”
Nice for walking or relaxing on a bench. Too many Canadian geese. Smelly. No swimming but there were people in the water with the geese 💩. We saw a green lizard.
This park is big and beautiful with a huge lake (Lake Ronkonkoma), benches and picnic area with BBQ pits. It has 2 playgrounds one for kids 2 - 5 yrs and the other for the bigger kids. There are public restrooms, basketball courts, walking/jogging trails, tennis courts and so much more to enjoy.
It is such a quiet park. Any noise, like the rustling of the leaves and people at the play ground walk away. Hahaha Anyway, it’s a beautiful park, with benches and old BBQ grills. A nice day to take a stroll at the beach/ park. Anyone is welcome to enjoy this beautiful park/beach.
Nice big playground, with covered seated picnic benches area nearby for parents to rest. A full basketball court, handball court, and public restrooms conveniently by. And Nice walk by the scenic lake. Need to wear sunscreen during summertime.
