Webster Pond, a tranquil oasis nestled in the heart of Syracuse, NY at 2004 Valley Drive, is lovingly maintained by dedicated volunteers of the Anglers Association of Onondaga, who extend a warm invitation to the public to join in wildlife feeding and enjoy all that the park has to offer.

Operating year-round from dawn to dusk, the pond also offers a host of other activities, including a junior and adult fishing programs for ages seven to fifteen, as well as a fully handicapped accessible trail around the pond.

The Angler’s Association serves as the primary steward, while the non-profit organization, Friends of Wildlife was formed to aid in enhancing Webster Pond through grant writing, maintenance, events, and fundraising. All contributions go towards the betterment of Webster Pond.

 Webster Pond is run by The Anglers Association of Onondaga that came into existence in the spring of 1890, spurred by local sportsmen who were outraged by the pollution and overfishing of Oneida Lake. Under the leadership of Thomas G. Alvord as chairman and the establishment of a constitution and by-laws, the Association took shape. It funded game wardens when the State Conservation Department was unable to do so and, following pressure from local businesses and Syracuse Newspapers, New York State eventually allocated funds for permanent wardens.
