Dwyer Memorial Park in Preble
Gorgeous little lake. Wish the Courtland Rep. Theater was open. Grounds were easy to walk
This place is beautiful!! My little girls absolutely love it here they can swim/play in the stream and catch crawfish and frogs. Also a great place to take a nice walk in nature. The playground is fun. Great place for grilling out in the summer or anytime really. All and all we love this place and visit it 3 to 4 times a week. Also it is a theater for plays and such. AND 4th of July fireworks are one of the best shows ever, great times to be had
Pleasant afternoon picnic area by lake and stream. Feed the tiny fish with my grandson and you can even wade in the stream. Water was crystal clear. Fun family place to relax in the shade under a tree by the water.
One of this area hidden gems. No fee easy parking has all the qualitys of a state park. We picnic by the lake every year.
Nice park in the village. It used to be the swimming pool for the village. Now it is for recreational purposes. Sets on the edge of town, offering playground and picnic tables.
A very beautiful and peaceful place
Great outdoor concert venue, but Id only give it a 3!! Only 2 port-a-pottys for almost 150 vehicles, with multiple people in each!!!Come on they were pretty full when we got there!! Over flowing later from what I heard!Would come back again from Buffalo, but yall have to do something about the toilet problem.I heard there were other bathrooms but dont know where.Will come back to check out the rest of the park another time.
Watched the July 4th fireworks from green lake. They put on a decent firework show!
I love it here. As a kid we would come here catch crayfish, build little dams, picnic — now I bring my kids and they love it just as much. When theres not a pandemic, theres the simplest little 2 foot deep pool (lifeguarded), people also launch canoes and bring their dogs to swim. Theres a playground area, baseball field, kinda run down basketball hoops and tons of picnic tables but we mostly play in the crick the whole time
Great fishing. Lots of power boats, jet skis etc. Lots of people, seems very family friendly. Not exactly a quiet spot however. Great for motor boats, but maybe not quite the best place for a canoe/kayak with all the action going on the water.
Such a beautiful park!!! We went there for family photos
Nice fall day for a picnic with family and friends. Nice park has something for everyone. 2 playgrounds, trails, kid pool, and fishing.
Nice quiet park with lovely viewsWe sat and ate lunch overlooking the Lake. Wish the roads were a little cleanerMy street rod car doesnt like all the rocks pinging off the paint.
Its a gem! Has been upkept over the many years with a beautiful view right on the lake. Many different areas for picnicking with tables and grills, playground, ball field, hikeing. Sad the rides are long gone but still a relaxing place for a days getaway!
This is a pretty spot, on the shore of a small lake. We have walked and picnicked here several times and enjoyed the place. Well worth a visit.
This is a great little park. The lake is pretty shallow, but great for fishing, kayaking, etc. Lots of room to play for the kids, great spots for grilling and picnicing.
Very nice family Park. Lots of picnic tables to eat at with BBQ grills close by. Once everything opens after this COVID closure, there are pavilions and public bathrooms for larger parties and events. There are nice areas to walk or ride bikes thru the park as well as play areas and swing sets for the kids. There is a softball field, horseshoe pits, and boating facilities.
Its a nice park. Been to a couple car shows there. Always a good time
Always a fun and relaxing place to stop
This is such a beautiful gem! Ive never been to this park before but a photographer recommended it for family photos. It is beautiful with all different landscapes from open field to lakes and everything in between. Awesome place for photos or picnics for sure! Photo courtesy of Beth Boline Photography.
Park and Little York Lake were GORGEOUS! Took a million pics. Forgot my bug spray unfortunately but CANT WAIT TO COME BACK!(with repellent of course 🤭)
We drove out here to do the Haunted park drive thru for Halloween. My kids enjoyed it, and it was well worth the $5 entry fee per vehicle.We were glad to have something to do because we werent going to risk trick or treating during covid-19.
Great place to take the kids either for a small cook out or part nice little trails. Also has a playground for children.
Great park beautiful lake for kayaking
Large area with playground, lake(s), picnic tables and grills. Great creek the kiddos just love playing in plus a wadding pool with lifeguard. Good rest rooms. My family has been enjoying this park for four generations!!!
Great public park, clean, lots of tables and grills, stream and lakes. Easy to spend a whole day just relaxing there. Basketball courts, pavilions, boat launch and dock. This place has it all.
Bluegrass picnic is fantastic rain or shine great people nice park. Will go every year. Thanks for the music
Nice for fishing and picnics. It was before 4:00 p.m. Monday and the powder rooms were locked.
Have 2 young kids that love the pool!!! Says it is open daily 10:30am. We pack up all the swim stuff for 2 kids under the age of 4 (a lot of stuff if you know I mean) to find out that the pool is closed. This was at 12 oclock. No explanation no answers, nothing!!!!
Beautiful place to take the family
Beautiful park with ponds, streams, walking trails, picnic shelters, and playgrounds. It is close to the highway so youll hear that in the background, but everything else makes up for the noise.
Its absolutely wonderful here not as crowded as other parks . Plenty to do for the whole family
Beautiful cute little park. We went there to go fishing. They have a little dock. Lots of cute spots to picnic in. Little streams for kids to play in
From childhood to introducing it to the next generation!🦋
My husband and I just drove through this lovely little park the other day on our Sunday drive. We have been to this park several times over the years but only in the Fall for a car show. This is the first time we visited in the summer and we discovered how lovely a park it is. There are lots of places to get down by the water and they have lots of picnicing areas all over the park. There is also a nice playground area for kids. This park offers lots of shaded areas as well as open field areas for some ball playing, frisbee throwing, or whatever else you want to do. We discovered areas that look like they could be used for camping if you follow the park road to the right. It goes quite a ways down into the woods and can be muddy after it rains, but there are some beautiful spots down in there, and some are close to the water. The only bad thing we found was that the highway is just on the other side of a line of trees and the noise can be annoying at times. Pets are welcome as long as you clean up after them and they are on leashes.
I think that this is a fantastic park. It features two of the things that i love in a park, which are bridges and water. In addition, its very scenic and an awesome place to hang out, especially if pics are involved!
Cute little spot! Officially closed for season when I went for a run, but looks like an awesome place to visit with shelters, possible camping sights, lakes, and trails. Was close to interstate 81 so a little peripheral noise from the traffic.
Recently discovered this gorgeous park tucked away in Little York, so pleasant to just stroll through. Cant wait to get some picnic days in there this summer.
Beautiful fireworks show tonight! Best police present and made traffic so much better then past years
The rocks really hurt in the creek and even cut my foot. But other all it was really fun I wish their was deeper water tho
Went there for a car show. Very nice day. Very enjoyable!
Attended the 7 Valley Street Rods show there. Great show in a beautiful park. Lots of shade, picnic tables, grills, and pavillions. Playground space for kids.
They home of Cortland Repertory Theater in the summer. Love it! A great county park...free.
Lovely summer park !
Very nice park kept very clean and maintained. Lots of space for BBQ and picnics. Also a playground area for the kids.
I was there for a car show. I love this very relaxing park.
Always love this park. Amazing views and very clean
For being my first time to the park.Are family enjoyed the environment very much.just a great space to let familys go n breath.but only down fall for me n my daughter was the trails end..
We love coming here to grill, picnic, and sometimes fish. Playground and creek is fun for my 3 year old to play!
Nice little lake easy to put a boat in and fish or just cruise
The picnic tables were put up and fireplaces were roped off so we rode around found a pavilion that was ok to sit and eat at and thats what we did and that was today
Great place for an event or even just for a picnic wish there was lighting in the pavilions for cloudy days though but was very nice area
Attended 7 Valley Street Rod Club Car Show. Great day a huge turnout after show at this facility had not been held in years. Great to have it back on the calendar
Nice park with lake access for boats/fishing. Good creek for wading. Lots of great shaded picnic areas.
Nice park particularly for small kids. There is a lake with a boat launch. I have always swam there though it my not be allowed.
Nice little park with a few pavilions that can be rented. Great place for a large family picnic and bbq. On site grills are fantastic.
Beautiful park, and the car show in September was AMAZING
The only thing I wish it said the turn is faster it was was almost like you were on top of your turn before it would tell you what he needed to turn
Park itself is a nice place to picnic nice playground for the kids. Like to kayak on little york nice quiet place to chill
Its a peaceful and well-managed Park in a beautiful natural setting.
Very nice park. We use it annually for my department picnic and its a perfect little spot.
Beautiful area....great to see car show back just wish there were more vendors at the flea market area and the chicken bbq!!😕
Beautiful park with rentable pavilions, plenty of picnic tables, grills, and a newly redone wade pool. Also home of Cortland Repertory Theater.
Great place to have picnic or bbq with friends and family. Lots to do there.
I love the wooded areas and paths... its a very peaceful-feeling place for me and my dog to walk.
Its a nice park near the Cortland Theaters summer location. Sometimes we walk there before a play or after a matinee show.
A beautiful place to visit with the family and have a picnic or go out on the water in a boat.
Small public park with small, deep, ponds. Possibly a good place to teach someone canoeing or kayaking.
Beautiful place but a dog that was unleashed bit my husband and the owners off the dogs did absolutely nothing. They actually ignored the whole situation.
Cortland county has done a great job redoing the counter in the main building along with the floor and wainscoting along the back wall.I am a CRT guild member and it looks great.
I really like this picturesque park with nice facilities and play spaces for all ages
What a nice place to stroll around and enjoy the nature or have a picnic.
Nice local park with lots to offer. Bbq pits, pavillions, plays, and a boat launch. No complaints!
The public park a good place to relax, have a picnic, go fishing or reserve a pavalian or park for event

Wow...what a beautiful place to spend.some time with your family..peaceful..serene..fantastic

Pretty lake, a kayak would make the fishing better than from the shoreline.
Stumbled upon this place.... Gorgeous! What a gem.
It was a great place for our dog and to just relax
This is a great park but the fishing is no good.
Good picnic locations, clean, can hold a lot of people.

2022-05-17I absolutely love this place!! Ive gone here countless times since I was even a baby. The trails are easy and well kept, they have a playground for the kids and down near the stream theres picnic tables and grills for familys to eat and relax where the water is shallow enough for small children to swim and play

2022-06-30Charming and somewhat nostalgic spot to visit in the summer. We were there to see a play on a Wednesday evening. The venue provided an intimate viewing...which we loved. Snacks and beverages were offered on the large wrap around porch on the second level. There was an elevator for those not wishing to climb the stairs. We hope to return.

2022-06-20We went to Dwyer park yesterday for a Father’s Day picnic. We got there about 10:30 in the morning. We picked our spot to have are picnic. There were plenty of tables and a fireplace grill to do our grilling.We used the bathrooms and they were clean and had plenty of toilet paper and water and a air dryer to wash your hands.When we went to use the bathrooms again around 1:00 they were locked and no one could use them. There was a lot of people there but no bathrooms to be used! Why would you close the bathrooms in the busiest time of the day?Lovely park, playground for kids, a small swimming area, hiking and plenty of grilles and picnic tables but no bathrooms to use.

2021-10-24I truly love Dwyer memorial Park for various reasons since I was a child it used to be aimed at children and families having amusement rides animals food and large picnic areas all overlooking the lake. Now it is the home of Cortland repertory theater a wonderful place to see plays in a comfy homelike theater. It has accommodations for the handicap inside and out. The building itself is historic serving the community for many yearsIts certainly is a beautiful place to attend.

2021-10-30One of the best and most diverse parks in the immediate area. Dwyer park offers areas for hiking , picnics, fishing, playground, basketball courts , water sports , natural areas , pavilions & grills for events. This park is also the original home of the Cortland Repertory Theater& the many wonderful shows it puts on every year in the charming little theater. I could go on and on .. this park is easy to underestimate but .. it has so much goodness to offer !
