== Parks and recreation == The City of Syracuse maintains over 170 parks, fields, and recreation areas, totaling over {{convert|1000|acre|km2}}.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.syracuse.ny.us/?aspxerrorpath=/parks/parks/parks.html|title=City of Syracuse Department of Parks|website=syracuse.ny.us|access-date=November 26, 2021|archive-date=February 25, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210225072738/http://www.syracuse.ny.us/?aspxerrorpath=%2Fparks%2Fparks%2Fparks.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[Burnet Park]] includes the first public golf course in the United States (1901) and [[Rosamond Gifford Zoo]]. Other major parks include [[Thornden Park]], Schiller Park, Sunnycrest Park, [[Onondaga Park]] and Kirk Park. There are 12 public pools, two public ice rinks (Sunnycrest and Meachem), and two public nine-hole golf courses (Burnet and Sunycrest Parks) in the city. Onondaga Park, located in the historic Strathmore neighborhood, features Hiawatha Lake, and a beautiful gazebo, often used for prom photos and wedding shoots. Right outside the city proper, along the east side and north end of [[Onondaga Lake]], is [[Onondaga Lake Park]]. The adjacent Onondaga Lake Parkway is closed to vehicular traffic several hours on Sundays during the summer months, so it can be used for walking, running, biking, and rollerblading. During the holiday season, the park hosts Lights on the Lake, a {{convert|2|mi|adj=on|spell=in}} drive-through light show.<gallery mode="packed"> File:Syracuse Onondaga Park.jpg|alt=|Upper [[Onondaga Park]] in [[Strathmore, Syracuse|Strathmore]] File:Innerharborsyr.JPG|alt=|Inner harbor at [[Onondaga Lake]] File:Onondaga Lake Park.jpg|alt=|[[Onondaga Lake Park]] </gallery>
