Beautiful, peaceful, and tranquil are great adjectives to describe Manlius' Swan Pond. It's been a staple here for a long time and offers a nice spot to take a stroll after any meal at the local restaurants nearby or a post-ice cream walk after taking down a banana sundae at Sno Top. Ducks are plentiful during most seasons and are generally happy to see you, especially if you're using the feeders up by the roadside.
There are ball fields nearby, swings (like rocker-style, not playground), and a small amphitheater in the vicinity. When you're all done with your walk, you can head up to the Manlius Library and enjoy what it has to offer or Unplugged Games for some board or card gaming. This is a great location for locals and passersby's alike. read more
