"These shade trees set in broad expansive lawn areas, along with lovely views of the lake, are the defining features of the park for many users." "Today, Stewart Park is a regionally active park with several facilities including tennis courts, a playground with several play structures including a carousel, athletic fields, a duck pond, a spray pool, a municipal golf course, and a bird sanctuary. Swimming is no longer allowed due to pollution and turbidity. An initiative led by a coalition of area partners including the Friends of Stewart Park, the Cayuga Waterfront Trail Initiative and the City of Ithaca has updated some of the existing facilities and completed a section of the Waterfront Trail through Stewart Park in fall 2010."
