Our Mission Statement
The Thornden Park Association (TPA) promotes increased community use of Thornden Park by restoring, revitalizing, and advocating for the park while maintaining its historic integrity.

About Us

The Thornden Park Association is a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York. The Thornden Park Association was founded in 1983 to advocate for, restore and revitalize Thornden Park, a seventy-six acre historic landscape, situated within the complex and diverse University Neighborhood.

Thornden's Traveling History Show

In October 2008 Susan Hardoby presented the Park's historical slide show to the Women's Organization of DeWitt Community Church (and we thank them for their kind donation to help us continue our efforts in the park.) Please know that this presentation is free and we are more than happy to show it to your group. (We also have a video called Uncommon Ground, that we produced about the park.) Both are available to your community, church, garden or any other group or organization that may be interested in the history of the park and what a group can do to improve our wonderful public green spaces. Just give Susan a call at 445-1798 to schedule her in to your program. Thanks.

Discovery Camp (grades 1 - 4)

Jul 20

Monday, July 20, 2009
9:00 AM — 3:00 PM

Description:

For children entering grades 1 through 4. Registration Fee $75. Enrollment limited to 20

Once again the Thornden Park Association has set dates for its highly successful Discovery Camp for children this summer. Last year we sponsored four weeks of camps and they were all full with a waiting list!

The success of our camp is due in large part by the excellent teaching provided by Rebecca Dwyer, Jennifer Holland and Dottie Mueller.

Children will explore Thornden Park’s many features enjoying outdoor activities, which integrate, art science and language arts. Weather permitting there will be swimming included in their daily activities.

The Thornden Park Association underwrites part of the cost of the camp. The camp is co-sponsored by The New School and the Department of Parks & Recreation & Youth Programs.

Mail the registration form along with a registration fee (check made payable to Thornden Park Association) to: Miranda Hine, 301 Clarendon Street, Syracuse, NY 13210. Your registration form and fee will secure your child’s place in the camp. There will be no refunds of registration fees.
