Lakeland Park

Play & Sports Areas

Lakeland Park offers well-kept basketball and tennis courts that attract both serious players and weekend warriors. If you've got kids in tow, the clean, well-maintained playground with swings and slides provides an ideal spot for little ones to burn off energy while you relax nearby. The safety-focused design provides peace of mind while they explore and play.

The park's ball fields are a local favorite, drawing everything from organized leagues to impromptu family games. No matter if you're throwing a frisbee or practicing your softball pitch, there's plenty of space to play.

Rest & Gather Spots

Need a break from the sun? The park's two pavilions offer welcome shade for picnics and get-togethers. These covered areas work well for everything from birthday parties to family reunions. The picnic areas are generally in good shape, but you might want to bring an extra bag for trash as receptacles can be limited.

You can find bathrooms on-site - a definite plus for longer visits. Just be aware that cleanliness can vary, especially on busy weekends or during events when they see heavy use.

Nature & Management

If you're looking to decompress, the park's generous green spaces and walking paths provide a peaceful retreat from city life. Its location near Onondaga Lake adds a scenic backdrop, although note that you can't access the lake directly from the park grounds.

The Town of Geddes Parks and Recreation Department manages the park. They also handle reservations if you're planning a special event - helpful for those family gatherings when your backyard just won't cut it.
