Myers Park is one of Lansing's best success stories. Arguably one of the nicest spots in Tompkins County, the park juts into Cayuga Lake, and offers a large variety of activities to suit just abut everyone. The short list is swimming, boating, fishing, weekly concerts, a playground, pavilions for parties and barbecues, a band stand, and camping. It is kept meticulously by the town Parks and Recreation Department , and is well loved and well used.
Park Superintendent Steve Colt says that this summer is going particularly well. The marina always sells out. The camp ground is full, selling out for weekends in July and August, and very well for weekdays as well. Only one concert was canceled due to weather, with the rest well attended. And pavilion rental is also going well, especially considering the uneven weather we've had this summer. "And we're looking toward Harbor Festival on August 23," Colt says. "After what they pulled off last year, if it turns out the few days preceding this year's festival have good weather with a good forecast for the day, I can't even comprehend the number of people that may show up there. I think it's going to be a huge, huge number."
