Skiddy Park on Syracuse’s Near Westside is home to updated, accessible play equipment for children ages 2 to twelve. The 2.75-acre neighborhood park is located at 300 Tioga Street in front of Syracuse STEM at Blodgett Middle School.
“Skiddy Park is a center of activity for families and children of all ages, and I’m excited about these new improvements. Near Westside neighbors deserve a safe, accessible, and well-maintained park in walking distance,” said Mayor Walsh. “At Skiddy Park and around Syracuse, we will continue to invest in park enhancements to provide families a space to spend time together. They are essential to our residents’ quality of life.”
The improvements include a new play area for children ages two to five, a new We-Go-Swing for wheelchair users, a complete safety surface replacement for increased accessibility, and improvements to existing play equipment for children ages five to 12.
