Norwood Park

A Little Oasis of Green

Spread across over 8 acres, Norwood Park offers a green space for Syracuse locals looking to escape the urban hustle. There's plenty of room to stretch your legs and enjoy some nature without having to venture far from the city.

Need space for a pickup game? You'll come across two multi-purpose fields excellent for kicking around a soccer ball or tossing a football with friends.

Playground Paradise (New in 2022!)

The kids are in for a treat here! In 2022, Norwood Park got a major facelift with a brand new playground that's become quite the neighborhood hit. Thoughtfully designed by Parkitects and built with equipment from Landscape Structures, this isn't your average swing-and-slide setup.

What's really thoughtful is how they've created separate play zones for different age groups. Got toddlers between 2-5 years old? There's a special area just for them where they can play safely. Meanwhile, the big kids (5 and up) have their own space with more challenging equipment.

The playground features everything from classic slides to those super cool climbing structures made with thick ropes that kids seem to navigate with impressive monkey-like skills.

Your Neighborhood Gathering Spot

As one of the City of Syracuse's public parks, Norwood is both a place to play and a community gathering spot. Whether you're a parent watching your kids make new friends, a jogger getting in your daily steps, or someone simply looking for a quiet bench to enjoy your lunch, this park is a nice neighborhood resource.
