Fun for children and scenic but birds can be 'dirty' so be careful, good handwashing esp. for toddlers. We had fun, other visitors were polite and had children under control. Parking ok.

A fun little stop with the kids. For the most part the ducks and geese are friendly. (remember the are wild animals) I would admire the swan from a far as I have seen him/her chase people.

This is a great get-a-way place,for lunch on a sunny day. I worked up at CGH and would come down here for lunch at least 4 times a week.It's so peaceful with all of the ducks swimming in the pond. You can even buy a cup of corn to feed the ducks.....

Webster Pond is a small pond in Syracuse. There are a lot of ducks and geese of all variety’s here. There is a small building on the property that for a donation you can get cups of corn to feed the wildlife. This is an event anyone can come to enjoy. I really have fun every time I go there....

This has been the place for years that we would visit to talk, cry, laugh, play... say goodbye. Beautiful setting. Love the lone swan who has been here for years.

You can buy feed for the ducks/geese there. Don't give bread as it hurts them--the people there will explain. If you like ducks/geese coming to YOU to feed, this is your kind of place. They'll gulp it from your hands and crowd you, but I LOVE this kind of thing. IE, they aren't shy, but I believe they appreciate your... More
