It does have strict rules but that makes it really well maintained and a nice place to take your pup. There is usually water for the dogs, and dog bags for owner convenience.

I have medium size puppy (she's 50 pounds). 4/5 dogs there were fine, but 1 smaller dog was the boss and very aggressive. Bit at, lunged and chased my dog. The owner offered to put her dog in the other side for the smaller dogs, but never left the picnic bench seat to do so. Since my dog was shaken and cornered by all the dogs(since the boss dog(in charge) was being aggressive with mine), we left. Won't be going back.

What is annoying is that you need an empire pass or pay day rate over the summer (memorial to Labor Day). Didn't know this is a New York State Park too? Urgh, as if taxes in ny is not high enough. Security walks around all day and will ticket you. To purchase a single pass, go to the main Emerson park entrance and buy it from the booth. I heard it is $2 but did not verify.

This one has a creek right next to it but there isn't much of room to swim, just a creek, very small, during dry days, the water level is just a couple inch, nothing exciting. A lot of dog poop here and owners are not exactly the best. Mosquitos, again, questionable owners.

I visited in the winter to see the falls frozen over, and the park rangers had done an excellent job keeping the trail well maintained.

I thought it was a fairly easy 1 mile hike out to the falls (though my coworker vehemently disagrees that 1 mile and easy belong in the same sentence - sorry Miss Sheila!), and there were some falcons swooping around. There is a fee to park, but were still spots remaining when we arrived. We should have received discounted parking with a Military ID, but the booth was unmanned that day, so we paid anyway. There is a restroom facility at the parking lot, and it wasn't bad. I actually think it was heated, so that was nice. I'd be interested in seeing the falls and hiking the upper trail when the weather is better!

Whilst I do like the park in it's entirety, the best part of Jamesville Beach Park is it's huge dog…read morepark. One thing I noticed about this park is that dogs are in general better trained here-- and that is because they have to be. This park is not fenced in like other dog parks. Instead, it is a huge open set of areas, including a path through the trees. You need to ensure your pup has good recall, likes to stay around you, or you'll need to make sure they are on a leash. I have only had a few hiccups here is with people not being the best trained. One person, without a dog, was just giving treats to all dogs that came up to them which was a bit frustrating and a bad behavior to teach. Also, people are terrible about picking up poop. You'll find dog poop and bags of dog poop everywhere--some of this I will blame on the park as its huge and there are only 2 places to put it. However. Its a huge place for my dog to run and he enjoys it-- and so do we, and as a bonus, he sleeps the rest of the day.

It's a great place to take a nice walk after work to help yourself and your dog unwind.

Most people just walk their dog around the perimeter of the park. There is a water source, however it looks like the knob to turn on the hose is broken. There is a large shelter within the park, with two benches. However, likely due to the size of the dog park, most people do not bother going. I would say the one in Ithaca is much much better!

The grass is well-maintained and perfect for laying out a blanket. There are coal fired grills available. There's also a basketball hoop (not a full court) and a jogging/biking path. You can rent kayaks and cross a pedestrian bridge over the creek that runs through it. They also have a bird watching trail. There are public restrooms, which were clean but out of toilet paper and soap when I visited. Great place to enjoy the outdoors solo or with friends and family.

The play area for children is large, and accommodates children of varying ages and abilities. The adults in our group also had some fun on the playground, since there weren't too many other groups when we visited. Along the lake, there are a good number of benches for sitting, including bench swings. The main path of the park is paved, so it makes for easy walking, stroller pushing, little kid biking/scooting, etc. We liked this park so much that we came here twice on our short vacation. I would definitely recommend it for families with young children who need to burn off some energy.
