Confirmed from Onondaga 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.
Landscaped grounds along Onondaga Creek with play areas, sunken gardens & a rustic stone bridge.

“Also, it is family friendly with a child's playground and pool (open in the summer)”
Park is really nice shame that the pond/lake is drained and the bridge to the gazebo has been taken out. Spacious Park area with pavilion and picnic tables around the grassy area. Large area for kids to run and play on swings and playground.
Beautiful Park in a nice neighborhood. Plenty of space to walk your dogs and go for a run. Also, it is family friendly with a child's playground and pool (open in the summer)
