PARKS PERSPECTIVES “SPRING” in to Syracuse PARKS PERSPECTIVES “SPRING” in to Syracuse Written & Designed by: Mary Beth Roach Britney Farmer City of Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs 412 Spencer Street, Syracuse, NY 13204 (315) 473-4330 STEPHANIE A. MINER, MAYOR BAYE MUHAMMAD, COMMISSIONER JOHN D. WALSH, DEPUTY COMMISSIONER Exceptional Special Outstanding Facility Stewardship Recogni- Mayor Stephanie A. Miner announced today that the City of Syracuse Department of Parks, Recreation and Youth Pro- grams have received awards through the Central New York Parks and Recreation Society (CNYPRS). Additionally, three of the awards were submitted and recognized statewide by the New York State Parks and Recreation Society (NYSPRS). “The men and women of the Syracuse Parks Department work each and every day to provide high quality programming and services for the residents of the City of Syracuse,” said Syracuse Mayor Stephanie A. Miner. “Whether it is a senior edu- cation event, afterschool programs for students, athletic leagues, community centers, or the nature found in the beautiful parks system our city offers, we are pleased to see recognition at this level for those who support the mission each and every day.” The local awards being acknowledged by CNYRPS are as follows: Stewardship: Glen Lewis, has been working for the city for nearly a quarter-century, and took over the supervisory role in the Department’s Planning and Development about ten years ago. Many of the projects that have come to completion dur- ing Glen’s tenure have been collaborative efforts, with help from neighborhood groups, state representatives, various fund- ing sources and corporations. Program Leader: Denise Moore began her career at Syracuse Parks as the director of the Cannon Street Community Center and currently oversees the Seals Community Center at Kirk Park. Denise’s extensive background as a youth advocate with various community organizations made her the perfect hire for that position Exceptional Program: “Cooking Together For Family Meals,” a collaboration between Cornell Cooperative Extension and the Parks Department, is a free, six-session, two hour cooking program that shows families how to prepare quick and healthy. The goals of the program are two-fold- to show families how to make more thoughtful food decisions that will lead to healthier eating patterns and to create quality time for families. Special Event: “Zumba in the Square,” a collaborative effort between the Parks Department; Metro Fitness, a downtown Syracuse fitness club; and Thrive Magazine was patterned after similar programs held in outdoor locations in bigger cities allowed the Department to offer a healthy initiative to downtown workers - a free, 30-minute way to boost their energy and show the diversity of the Clinton Square area. Outstanding Facility: Onondaga Park Firebarn Renovation allowed this building to be re-opened after being closed for al- most forty years. The former Elmwood Fire Station building was renovated and despite all of the updates, much of the his- toric character and charm remained intact. These winners were feted at the CNYRPS’s Annual Awards luncheon Tuesday, February 25 at The Driver’s Village Confer- ence Center as part of the CNYRPS Mini-Conference. Three of these award winning portfolios – Stewardship, Exceptional Special Event, and Outstanding Facility have been an- nounced as statewide honorees. These winners will be recognized at the NYSRPS Awards Luncheon, today, Tuesday, March 25, 2014 in conjunction with their 74th Annual Conference and Business Expo which is being held at the Saratoga Hilton Hotel and Conference Center in Saratoga Springs, New York.

During a recent staff meeting, each division supervisor highlighted accomplishments in 2013 and goals for this year. In 2014, the Adult Recreation Division would like to increase registration in its basket- ball, lacrosse, softball and volleyball leagues, as well as develop a Syracuse Broomball Tournament. Last year, the Division registered, managed and coordinated 169 teams with approximately 3,480 participants for the basketball, broomball, lacrosse, softball and volleyball leagues. and issued about 150 multi-day athletic field permits. In addi- tion, handbooks and team codes of conduct were created. The Aquatics Division last year saw nearly 2,400 participants in its programs and more than 90,000 took advantage of the open swim in 2013. In addition, the Divi- sion had “0” reportable accidents per NYS Department of Health regulations from all aquatics facilities. For 2014, staff will continue to train and drill the lifeguard staff to extend the that safety record another year, and increase the aquatics edu- cation courses offered to include a larger number of participants The Dog Control Division handled more than 3,000 resident calls in 2013, and will work this year to upgrade some of its computer hard- ware and software in order to enhance their operations. Grounds Maintenance is responsible for the upkeep of approximately 1,000 acres of green space throughout the city, in addition to the Department’s facilities and centers and special events. The division increased their service hours and days this past summer, and will continue efforts to provide even better efficiency. The Ice Rinks staff instituted some cost-cutting measures this past year, and saw an increase in revenue at Meachem, Sunnycrest and Clinton Square rinks. Staff will work this year on some capital improvements at Meachem and Sunnycrest Rinks as well as seek a sponsor for “free skate” days at Clinton Square. The Golf Division in 2013 partnered with The First Tee of Syracuse on weekly golf clinics; held the “Birdies before Brew” tournament in conjunction with the Rosa- mond Gifford Zoo; increased number of Leagues; and conducted free monthly golf clinics with the CNYPGA for all senior members. In 2014, staff will work on build- ing its partnership with The First Tee to have Sunnycrest Golf Course named an official affiliate site and to increase participation of children with this program. The Division would also like to see an increase in revenue; to identify new spon- sors for some of the golf clinics, luncheons and the Mayor’s Cup Tournament; and to replace sand traps at Sunnycrest and Burnet golf courses. Among the Forestry Division’s accomplishments in 2013 was the completion of the street tree inventory in the City, mapping the Emerald Ash Borer infestation in the City, planting a record 1,300 street trees, and creating new jobs for 20-25 year old City residents through the first ever community-based tree planting contract. In 2014, staff want to build on this success, and among their goals is to have a Complete Park Tree inventory; develop written policies for tree removal, planting, code enforcement, tree protection and risk management; oversee successful treatment of 1100 Ash trees; plant 1500 street and park trees; and increase the number of jobs created under the community-based tree planting contract. The Department’s staff at its three Senior Centers revamped exercise programs, offered more field trips, and introduced new programs, such as hand weight train- ing, pickle ball, and line dancing. Staff will continue to develop and enhance pro- grams and services in 2014 at the its facilities at Bob Cecile Center, the Magnarelli Community Center at McChesney Park and the West Side Senior Center. Among its many initiatives for 2014, the Planning and Development Division will be working on a master plan for Lower Onondaga Park, as well as feasibility studies for Burnet Park and Sunny- crest Rink. Capital improvement projects in progress include the Eastwood Skate Plaza, Hano- ver Square Improvements and work at the Southwest Community Center. This follows up on 2013, which brought upon a number of completed capital projects, including the Schiller Park Playground, Fitness & Heritage Trails, Leavenworth Gazebo; and Webster’s Pond Shoreline Improvements; paving projects at Barker Square and Leavenworth, Homer Wheaton, Wadsworth, Huntington and Kirk Parks; monument restoration at Billings Park; new roofs on the Carriage House and the Rose Garden Gazebo at Thornden Park; a water line at Huntington Park for the new skate park; and new security lighting at the Cummings Field Con- cession Building.

  • City of Syracuse
    Downtown Revitalization Initiative Application Template Applications for the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will be received by the Regional Councils. Applicant responses for each section should be as complete and succinct as possible. Applications must be received by the Central NY Regional Economic Development Council by 4:00 PM on June 14, 2017. Submit your application as a Word Document to [email protected]. BASIC INFORMATION Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region: Central New York Municipality Name: Syracuse Downtown Name: Downtown Syracuse County: Onondaga Vision for Downtown. Provide a brief statement of the municipality’s vision for Downtown revitalization. Downtown Syracuse is the heart of our City and its resurgence serves as a model for neighborhood redevelopment initiatives city-wide. While considerable investment in several key projects has helped the city reclaim vibrancy over the past 10 years, Downtown Syracuse still has room to grow. The urban core lacks connectivity between strategic investments in Armory Square and the new Convention District; investing in the space between these success stories is necessary to catalyze additional investment and capitalize on previous success. Through the $10 Million Downtown Revitalization Initiative, Downtown Syracuse will prioritize investments in projects that create a defined sense of place on the southern end of Downtown, strategically filling in market gaps and championing a higher quality of life for all Downtown residents, employees, and visitors, and connecting to important neighborhood gateways to the south and west. Justification. Provide an overview of the Downtown, highlighting the area’s defining characteristics and the reasons for its selection. Explain why the Downtown is ready for Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) investment, and how that investment would serve as a catalyst to bring about revitalization.

The goals and policy recommendations in this plan are based on an understanding that both public and private actions shape the places we experience every day—the places we live, work, and play. It establishes a vision for future public and private investment in buildings and infrastructure. The power to regulate land use and development regulations is one of the strongest tools municipalities have to influence the way a city feels and functions—from the macro level of major corridors and interactions with surrounding municipalities to the micro level of neighborhoods, streetscapes, and individual blocks.
