Yaman Park,

Kennedy Parkway, Cortland, NY 13045

"Quick detour on our way home to let the toddler stretch their legs and play for a bit. Clean park. Nice (smaller) playground. Great picnic table setup. Restrooms available. Many people enjoying the beach & water."

"Nice park and beach but the lifeguards are way too controlling. They run it like their own territory. Constantly screaming into their megaphones about the rules. No laying in puddles on the beach (even while wearing a life jacket). No touching in the water. No splashing. Then every 1 hour everyone needs to get out of the water and listen to the lifeguards go over the rules on the megaphone. Nice water fountain in the middle of the lake. It was hard for me since single parent of 4. Some wanted to go to deep end and some wanted to stay on the beach. The lifeguards would constantly tell me to stay with my kids. -_-"

"A decently sized park. You can swim. Have cook out. Go for a walk. Skate board area and kids playground."

"What a beautiful park! We have had our family reunion there twice now, and it's the perfect place to have it! It's all on level ground just off the highway and easy to access from the parking lot. There are two pavilions overlooking the lake, with a playground on one side and the bathrooms on the other. There is a beach with lifeguards and a section on the beach for dogs, too!"

"The park is very good. Plenty of booths and grills. Beautiful lake in between. The cool thing is it also have a skate board ring. It could be a little more developed if kept more clean. In our last visit we found few garbage lying near side of picnic tables which were still lying there today. This place needs a little more attention in regard of trash picking or else it is a very best place in town. A small play area for kids. I really like the beauty of this place."
