Hey Schenley how come you're so much harder to navigate than Frick? Yet so awesome because you have your own little track with a soccer field in the middle.
Schenley landed smack between oakland and downtown, its a frisky fraternizing park, more suited to bring your friends for a picnic or barbeque, than for a long distance run.
It boasts a Frisbee golf course, so give way to those pesky frisbees if you're hiking through the course pretending you're in Scotland. Can't think of another place the rolling green of Schenley reminds me of. There are some decent trails, a murky little pond at the bottom of the park.
This park has a playground, and smallish swimming hole. Shelters you can rent for events.
Dog friendly--- on leashes unsure if it has an off leash dog area.
All in all I would say it is worth checking out this park, thought not my favorite it is likeable enough. If you're not that into parks this one is small, you can spend a short time here and see most of it. It does border Phipps conservancy which is a plus, also if you are going to any events in Oakland but looking for cheaper parking, you can find it near Schenley around the back side of CMU.
