Camillus Park in Camillus | Map and Routes

Camillus Park is a community park consisting of 35 acres, located on Pool Rd, off from Route 5, (W. Genesee St) between the Octagon House and St Joseph’s Church in Camillus NY. It is in the Orchard Village neighborhood. Although the Camillus pool is no longer there, it’s been replaced with a splash pad, playground, outdoor gym exercise area, picnic tables and Take-A-Book lending library. Next to that area is a wooded area with several trails, a pavilion, many picnic tables and grills, and some benches, a bath house and the Park Garage. The wooded area has a large board with a trail map at the trail head, indicating level of difficulty and accessibility for strollers and the handicapped. Trails are well marked and well maintained with natural and gravel surfaces. There are small bodies of water, which make it a breeding ground for mosquitoes in warmer months. Use repellent! With neighborhood access to the trails, this is a great place (and popular) for dog walking. Shorter trail distances make it a appealing for families with young children to hike or a quick lunch break walk. Tons of squirrels collecting acorns from the oak trees, and chipmunks running about. After your workout, sit on a bench and watch/listen to the resident woodpecker peck at a tree. This quiet wooded area is a double thumbs up from me. 👍🏽👍🏽

Camillus Park is a 35 acre community park nestled between West Genesee St, Knowell Rd, and Milton Ave in the Orchard Village neighborhood of Camillus, NY. It can be accessed from Pool Rd via West Genesee St (between the Octagon House and St Joseph’s church) and Fox Dr via Knowell Rd. The park has a large parking lot with handicap parking. The park features a modern Splash Pad, outdoor workout facility, and a “Little Library” as well as a new play ground, lots of green space for running, a pavilion, picnic tables grills and benches. The main trail head at Camillus Park is near the parking lot although there are other entrances into the woods at various points from the connecting neighborhood. The wooded trails are visited mainly by the local community, aging from the young to the elderly. There are three main trails that vary in gradient and difficulty. There is also a trail that loops around most of the existing perimeter intersecting each trail at different points. There are other trails, some unmarked. The trails are short to medium length and all under one mile. They are mostly wood-chipped with the maintenance trail as well as the beginning of the entry trail by the Splash Pad having small pebbles. The trails are well kept and well marked. Dogs are welcome in this park (must be leashed). Dogs are not allowed in the Splash Pad area. There are some wet spots which are mosquito breeding grounds. I highly suggest using mosquito repellent during warm wet months! The Green Trail is 0.2 miles and cuts through the middle of the woods, passing the pavilion, through the picnic area, and T’s into the Red Trail. It’s a relatively flat, easy walk by foot or adult bike, moderate by child’s bike, stroller, or wheelchair. First half is moderate by wheelchair, second half is challenging by wheelchair. It is peaceful and quiet, teaming with nature. I stopped and watched a red bellied woodpecker working on a tree. This is a great little wooded trail system enjoyed by the young and old, dog walkers, and those who want a quick hike during the lunch break. Two thumbs up. 👍🏽👍🏽

The Blue Trail starts with the Red Trail, along the perimeter of the woods near the Splash Pad/playground area. You will pass some picnic tables and barbecue grills, and a bench, then veer to the left and cut through the middle of the woods. You will intersect with the Green Trail, then hook back up with the Red Trail, passing the park garage, and coming out to the parking lot. When you get to the parking lot, take a left, walk past the bathhouse and back to the trail head. It is 0.4 miles, and easy by foot, bike or stroller. Moderate by wheelchair. This quiet wooded area is a popular place with dog walkers. Those that are there are friendly people. Double thumbs up from me. 👍🏽👍🏽
