Runyon Preserve's 21 acres contains wooded hills and floodplains along Fiddyment Creek.

The preserve is named after Armstead Runyon, who was the first permanent settler of Lockport Township, arriving there in October 1830. Runyon laid out the development of north Lockport, which was known then as Runyon's Town. The Runyon family cemetery is located near the preserve.

The District acquired the site in 1934, and it offers a picnic shelter which is available for reservation for large groups.
