EVEREST PARK MEMBERSHIP
Everest Park is a beautiful, 160-acre, private park nestled in the quiet farm country of the Finger Lakes. Open only to members and guest of Champions for Life, our grassy fields give way to wooded trails which are ideal for quiet walks, tranquil jogging, and mountain biking. Deep gullies and quick elevation changes also make Everest an ideal place to stretch your hiking legs.
Thanks to many generous donations, we now have five, full-size athletic fields. Our new fields offer a great playing environment for soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, football, and more.
The heart of the park is an acre-sized, fully-stocked pond complete with its own island. Enjoy paddle boating, kayaking, fishing, or simply sit back and watch the sun cast a beautiful sunset on the shimmering water. On the shore of the pond is a pavilion that can be reserved for family picnics, reunions, club activities, or special parties. Grills and gas are included, and there are multiple picnic tables and a playground for your use as well.
Everest Park physical address: 5343 County Route 72B, Auburn, NY 13021. For GPS purposes, use Google Maps.

Membership allows you to use the park any time between dawn and dusk, and for reduced rental rates on the pavilion, which was newly refurbished. You are welcome to bring your dog(s), just please clean up after them, and please keep them off of the athletic fields! We are a carry in/carry out park, so please plan to bring home your trash. Please keep your placard in the car you are using to access the park.
Please contact us if you have questions about reserving the pavilion, or use of the field(s). For more information please contact us at 315-252-9305.
Team and Club Memberships
Does your running club want to use the trails? Is your group interested in having meetings or other events up at the park? Would you like to reserve field space for practice or play? We also have club memberships available for only $250. When you have a team or club membership, your members are able to use the park for club or team sanctioned practices, events, or meetings. If you want to have an event at the pavilion, it's at the member cost, so only $125 for five hours, and no security deposit!
