SUNY Oswego is a gem of a school. Our campus is beautiful-next to Lake Ontario-and the people are friendly. Our students come from many states e countries, but most are from our surrounding areas and New York City. We have a great cultural program yearly, open to the general public. We have graduated many teachers since the 19th century, fro well-respected teacher education programs. Of course we offer a liberal arts education also, and even engineering now. Sports too, with a great ice hockey arena. Come visit our campus, stroll around our pond, see stunning sunsets, meet a deer, red fox and birds... Praise to thee,Oswego!

Great place for fresh pastries, vegetables and spices. We purchased an assortment and were very pleased with everything. As members of Harvest Host we camped overnight in their orchard which was wonderfully quite and a beautiful space to wake up in.

The park is located on the northwest side of Oswego . Am unable to say the park's acreage is, however there is a 5.9 mile walking loop. The loop is composed of the Oswego Trail-outside loop- & the Breitbeck Park Trail-inside loop-on a cement walkway. The park's center exhibit is the Kingsford Bell & Tower, which is a Meneely Bell that signalled workers of the Oswego Starch Company for the Kingsford Fire Company or for July 4 celebrations. A short walk is the Volunteer Made America-A Tribute To Rosemary Sinnett Nesbitt. There are a total of 58 benches that face Lake Ontario in 36, 13, & 9 sections. Each bench is dedicated or a memorial to a person or persons. The 36 benches face a walk down seating area with six metal chairs. The 13 benches face a seating area with six wooden rocking chairs. The west end are nine benches four wooden rocking chairs. Toward the western end is a children's playground with a sliding gym & two swing sets with four swings each. Next door is an open pavilion with nine picnic tables along with four cooking grills. There are countless shade trees including at least 12 picnic tables & several nearby track cans. Parking is free in two lots. To the southeast end is a medium lot of Lake Street, while a smaller lot is located off Lake & Ontario Streets. Can't recall where the restrooms are located, possibly by the pavilion. A visitor can go for a walk or walk their dog or a jog or just relax & enjoy the view or scenery. My visit was on an early Friday morning-not many visitor at 9:00 AM-before a visit to the Fort Ontario Historical Site. I realize this is a long review for the park, however the time was worth what I encountered. A visit for any reason is recommended.
