Stewart Park Splash Pad and Bathroom Opens

On Wednesday, July 3, 2024, Friends of Stewart Park cut the ribbon on the new Splash Pad and Playground Bathrooms in Stewart Park!

Thanks to speakers designer Steve Lauzun, Mayor Rob Cantelmo, Community Foundation's Gloria Coicou, Fred Bonn of NY State Parks, Assemblymember Anna Kelles, Greg Mezey of the Tompkins County Legislature and Strategic Tourism Planning Board, and Stacey Dimas, chief of staff to Senator Lea Webb, and FSP's Diana Riesman and Rick Manning.

Thank you to Edger Enterprises, Inc., Taitem Engineering, all the incredible folks at the City of Ithaca, New York, and a huge thank you to Parkitectscts’ KJ Armstrong and Nathan for designing a splash pad that’s brings so much joy to so many children!

The splash pad is open now, though tomorrow will be the "Grand Opening" as its first full day in operation, with free carousel rides to help you all dry off!
