I found a nice spot in the shade while the kids played in the sun. I like having the nice flat area for us to play Frisbee, but also having the hills and the picnic area not too far away, which adds to the already gorgeous scenery. Other parents and grandparents that were there with their kids were very friendly and we held very nice conversation while all the kids played together. All in all, it was a very nice afternoon. Oh I almost forgot to there was a very nice breeze the whole time we were there. No garbage in sight. I give my visit to Onondaga Park five stars today.

I am impressed by how the lifeguards politely speak directly to children, rather than bypassing the child and speaking to the accompanying adult. Pool appears to be recently painted….it’s just lovely.

The life guards were really nice, didnt yell at anyone they were firm when needed with kids if they were yelling. I took my 2 year old and it was his first time at a big pool i think he enjoyed it and so did I. He is currently exhausted from jumping in and out. Ill definitely go back. Maybe even tomorrow.
