Friends of Marcellus Park
is an organization that was formed after the Town of
Marcellus accepted the park from Onondaga County. Its mission statement is to
enhance and preserve the beauty, service and use of Marcellus Park.
Over the years the Friends of Marcellus Park have been instrumental planning for
the park’s future and with park clean-up days.
The Memorial Garden and Plant
your Roots programs offer individuals the opportunity to plant a living memorial
within the park.
Meetings
are held the first Monday of most months. Spring and Summer
Meetings are held at the Park's new maintenance building.
Next meeting of Friends of the Park: TBA
Topic: TBA
Events sponsored in whole or in part by the Friends:
● Olde Home Days
● Winterfest
● Summer Concerts
All funds that have been raised at these events have helped in restoring
the original park stone walls, bringing electricity to new areas of the park,
lighting the ice rink and creating beach volleyball and a putting green.
Since its formation, The Friends of Marcellus Park
have worked hand in hand with the Town of Marcellus
Parks and Recreation Department
to meet the needs of the park. Over the past years,
the Friends have helped in upgrades to Marcellus Park
such as bringing more electricity to the pavilions, the
ice-skating rink, volleyball court, the new putting green and most recently
a new playground.
Friends of Marcellus Park offer a way to leave your Mark in the Park.
With an engraved brick you may pay tribute to a family member, your
name or leave a message for future generations. Each brick is 4” x 8”
and offers 2 lines of 15 characters each. All bricks will be laid in the
sidewalk that leads to the new playground area.
For an original and unique gift, purchase a brick for your loved ones for
all special occasions. Gift certificates can be issued for your gift giving.
