If you are looking for a great place to run, this is it. Running around the Jerome Park Reservoir reminds me of running in Central Park. The path is well maintained and takes you through different local parks in the area.There are a few parts of the route that are isolated, but you do run by Lehman College where there tends to be some foot traffic. I wouldn't run at night. They still need to work on adding more lighting throughout the route, but go during the day. The running path is mostly flat and easy to manage. It's a good workout!

Canine Court used to be a great dog park. Over the last few years it has not been well kept and both the grounds and the obstacles in the park have deteriorated. I even saw hyperdermic needles by the park months ago and had to contact park services to clean it up. Sadly I wish this park was better kept, but unfortunately it is not. That being said you will find many dogs in the park so use caution and talk to the owners because some dogs are friendly and others are not. Van Courtland Park overall is a great place to walk your dog. There are many trails to walk on. Just make sure to watch out for ticks, inspect your dog every time you visit and enjoy the park! It's a beautiful location.
