Spencer Park

Ormand Spencer Park is a seven-acre public park located in Syracuse, New York. The park is named after Syracuse Police Officer Ormand Spencer, who died in 1964.

Ormand Spencer Park is notable for being home to the city of Syracuse's only dog park. This dedicated off-leash area, known as Carm's Dog House Park, provides a space where dogs can run and play freely. The dog park section is fenced for safety and includes separate areas for large and small dogs.

Beyond its canine-friendly features, Ormand Spencer Park offers recreational facilities for human visitors as well. The park contains basketball courts and a playground, providing opportunities for both sports and children's play.

The park's location along the Empire State Trail adds to its accessibility and connection to the broader community. This positioning makes it a convenient stop for walkers, runners, and cyclists using the trail system.

Ormand Spencer Park serves as a valuable green space and community gathering point in Syracuse, offering a mix of amenities for both pets and people in its urban setting.
