I'm sure the 'money shot' of the falls is at the bottom tho' ;) Looks like the facilities will be great when they are completed - Will have to make our way back to check it out!

There is also a parallel path for riding bikes. Four trails are listed on their website. Many rent bikes, inline skates or quadricycles for 2-4 people. The historic plaques are informative, and signal that this is land formerly of the Onondaga. One occasionally sees boats on the lake. There is a great playground for children, which accommodates the disabled. Don't miss the ice cream truck in front during the summer! This is a great park for all seasons. Enjoy visiting!

But it's a spectacular Park in Syracuse that is the highlight of the inner city SYR area. I like it even more than I like being Onondated by Dating prospects. This wonderful wooded park space is large and gorgeous much like my girlfriend. There are two sections, Upper and Lower, and both are lovely. Definitely the most relaxing place to hang out and people watch during the summer in the inner city area, and bettered only by Onondaga Lake Park (totally different) in the wider region.

Eventually when they did, they were rolling their eyes at us, giving us dirty looks, and giving us attitude. When we told them our skate sizes, they reacted like grabbing us skates was the biggest inconvenience for them, with a dramatic sigh from one of them, and a nasty dirty look/side eye from the other girl.

Perched on a hill, Schiller Park has multiple levels- the lowest ground is where the soccer fields…read moreand a big parking lot are, with a narrow paved footpath around the parameter. Going uphill there is a good sized playground, tennis courts, and basketball courts (admittedly often overgrown). From the playground to the courts the park road is blocked to vehicle traffic. On the upper area is an outdoor community pool, a parking lot, and an outdoor gym set up. Then there's also blocked off lower and upper roads encircling a hill and a small field, which look so quaint I always picture Bilbo Baggins living there. The views of the city the pool area and the top field are magnificent, and benches invite you to stay for a while to enjoy it (or maybe catch your breath from walking there). Schiller has two access points to park by car (Farmer St- lower, Oak St- upper) and plenty of access by foot. I've spent many many visits exploring the different paths of Schiller. It's a park which feels very much at the center of it's community, a touch rough on some edges, but very beautiful.

We wanted to go down by the play equipment, but the road is closed off the vehicles. We were able to leave the park and drive around the corner and park in a lower parking lot which is near the baseball diamond. There was one lone table near a building called the recreation center, and it was in a little gazebo. Kids enjoyed the play equipment. It must have been installed or upgraded very recently as it was very new 8/2015. There are two areas one for smaller kids 2-5 and one for larger kids 5-12. There is one small table in each of the kids areas which has a cover and provides shade during the hot summer months when kids are out playing.
