The whole family went to Emerson Park for the Symphoria concert and 4th of July fireworks. We go every year and always enjoy it. My only concern was that there was no handicapped parking made available. I watched a lot of people suffer over the lack. Even a drop off point would have been better than nothing.

This park is very beautiful, clean well maintained. We spent the whole day there. We brought our own lunch had a picnic. The views are just awesome!!!! They have a theater, a beach area, clean restrooms. A great gem πŸ’Ž

Avoid if you are looking for a playground for your kids (this was the reason we stopped). Very run down and clearly not maintained...there is a section with a piece of plywood to cover it/prevent kids from falling. Walking paths are nice and the park has beautiful views - not sure if Covid related but it's clear weeding and other maintenance items are not being kept up. The bathrooms were also closed at the end of May (due to Covid per a sign)...odd since many other parks have found a way to provide these services safely.

The event that led me to Emerson Park page said Cayuga County Fair July This must be a missprint right?

Megan LoPiccolo | Feb 29, 2020
Penny Schenck | Mar 1, 2020

Usually the Cayuga County Fair is held in Weedsport. Don't know why it said that unless they changed it. Probably the best way to find out for sure is to call the park. Emerson Park usually has an auto show on Father's Day and a carnival of some sort around the 4th of July with fireworks.I hope this was helpful.

You can swim, but there are no lifeguards on duty. It is at your own risk and the park closes at dusk. No swimming in the channel.

Is there overnight parking there? We need a place to park to begin a bike tour.

Robert Ogden | Sep 18, 2021
Shell Johnson | Sep 19, 2021

The park is open right now 24 hours a day. There is no booth fee. Plenty of parking. On the other side of the park is another entrance by speedway with another parking lot I would say you can park there no problem.

How did Emerson park get it’s name?

Jonathan Lane | Sep 9, 2021
