Syracuse issued the following announcement on June 26.
The Creekwalk Trail Recently Extended through Kirk Park Offers Residents Easy Connections to New Outdoor Experiences
Extending through Kirk Park is Creekwalk Phase II, a 2.2-mile second leg of the Creekwalk trail along Onondaga Creek. After a 12-year process to create an outdoor space for walking and biking in Syracuse, the opportunity to explore parts of the city while on the trail is now available from the southern end of the city to Onondaga Lake.
The extension of the trail is beautiful and safe. It provides paved access points and markings with newly added features such as: fencing and rails along certain areas of the 4.8 mile path, surveillance cameras in 20 different locations, rest areas, and LED lighting. The trail also features emergency call stations along remote paths along the Creekwalk offering pedestrians and bikers immediate access to first responders when needed.
Kirk Park Highlights
The Creekwalk pedestrian and bike trail adds a natural attraction to the city’s Southside. The walking trail is wide and freeing. The extension from south of Downtown Syracuse now connects Kirk Park, Lower Onondaga Park, the Southside, the Near West Side and Downtown Syracuse, and joins to the existing Creekwalk trail at Armory Square. The continuous trail now reaches 4.8 miles from Onondaga Lake to Kirk Park. The City is encouraging all Syracusans to explore the new trail this July 4 holiday and return often in the future!
