Confirmed from Lysander Town 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.

Clean, well-cared-for park featuring a splash pad and playground, with hiking trails and sports facilities.

“Not only is the splash pad fantastic, but there is a playground, picnic tables, a large field to play or sun bathe in, clean bathrooms, and pavillions for your party needs.”

I see lots of photos of the courts + playground + sports fields. But hardly any of trail. So..... Here they are! (Photos) My dog loved it!

Lovely, newly renovated park with a small playground, and restroom. There's a short nature trail full of tall, majestic trees.

★★★★☆ — M , Oct 2023

Preschool field trip. The splash pad was a huge hit with kids and adults as well. And the playground area was the perfect way for them to run out some of their excitement & energy. There was a covered area which kept us dry when the inevitable Syracuse rain appeared & the bathrooms were clean & well maintained.

★★★★★ — Steve , Jul 2023

Love this park! 😀 You can pack a lunch and spend most of the day here, lots to do and also walking trails. Kids love the playground splash pad. Bathrooms are also clean.

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.
