Forman Park Face Lift

Forman Park, which is located on East Genesee Street in downtown Syracuse will be redesigned and improved with the help of the city and Syracuse University

The park, which has been around since 1839 will be getting between $1.5 and $2 million for the face lift. The redesign of the park will include a new pathway of bricks that will memorialize members of law enforcement agencies in Onondaga County.

The park new design plan is part of Syracuse University's Connective Corridor project. The plans are still being drawn up by the architects but construction is scheduled to begin in the fall and continue next year.

The bricks in the new path can be purchased at $75 a piece. The bricks will be laid in the path with the purchaser having a name of a current or former police officer engraved into the brick's facing.
