Sonya plays on the accessible Stewart Park playground, thank you volunteers, daff-a-dazzle and more

October 21, 2022 Friends of Stewart Park could not wait to share this video with you! It keys right into our commitment to make the playground — and the whole of Stewart Park — inclusive and inviting to all. Take a look!  FSP is very grateful to Aryana and Sonya for taking the time to talk with us. THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS!  On Tuesday, October 11, around 50 high schoolers from the Code Red Robotics club came out to help in Stewart Park! These hard working students trimmed back invasive shrubs along the lakeshore, picked up 2 contractor bags full of litter, and raked the paths at the playground. If you have a group looking for volunteer opportunities, there's plenty to do for Stewart Park and the Cayuga Waterfront Trail!  Contact us and we'll connect you with the right volunteer work for your group!  Alternatively, sign up for our volunteer listserv to learn about organized volunteer opportunities.  DAFF-A-DAZZLE ON THE CWT Last week Ithaca Garden Club, Ithaca Children’s Garden and Cornell Horticulture Professor Bill Miller's lab planted 50,000 daffodil bulbs along the Cayuga Waterfront Trail! Ithaca Garden Club has raised over $15,000 to ensure Ithaca has beautiful blooms to help wake us up from our winter haze come early spring. Miller, whose research is heavily flower bulb related, used a Dutch planting machine to assist with the planting. Currently the Daff-A-Dazzle focus is along the CWT in Cass Park, but more flowers will be headed to Stewart Park as well.  Read more about the planting in the Cornell Daily Sun article and learn more about the Daff-A-Dazzle project at their website.  Photo credit: Casey Martin/The Ithaca Voice.

We've got party pics below!  The Friends of Stewart Park Team   PARTY FOR THE PARK Thank you to all who attended Party for the Park 2022!  We couldn't have asked for a more lovely night, with excellent music from London McDaniel, Scott Wiggins of La Tourelle pouring the fine assortment of Finger Lakes libations; delicious food thanks to the help of Maryann Friend and Mama Said Hand Pies; wonderful guest speakers Patricia Longoria, Anna Kelles and Rob Cantelmo; Stewartship Awards, and a dozen raffle prizes given away!

STEWARTSHIP AWARDS Each year at Party for the Park, Friends of Stewart Park and Wharton Studio Museum give out Stewartship Awards which recognize our dedicated partners and volunteers who make important contributions to the ongoing revitalization of Stewart Park and to Ithaca’s parks and waterfront as a whole.

With movie screenings, literary events, audio theatre and a sip and draw event, there's something for everyone! View the full schedule of Silent Movie Month events online!  THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to the two edge trimming events hosted by FSP and the Ithaca Dragonboat Club earlier in September. They cut back the invasive shrub Amorpha fruticosa (False Indigo Bush). This is naturalized and not a native plant to Tompkins County and New York State, but often forms thickets on the lakeshore. Cutting it back ensures everyone can enjoy the view of Cayuga Lake this fall and winter.  Pictured left to right: Cass Park: Peggy Gray, Jennifer Gray, Rosemary Rukavena, Paula Loskamp and Jorj Buchholz. Stewart Park: Frank Muller, Carol Johnson, Rick Lightbody and Mike Naperski.  MORE PARK & TRAIL NEWS & EVENTS FUN ON THE TRAIL Bike Walk Tompkins organizes all sorts of fun events in Ithaca and on the Cayuga Waterfront Trail. They host full moon lighted bike ride each month, with the next on Sunday Oct. 9.  This event will also include a bike light giveaway for participants.
