We kick off 2026 with a work day in Heath Park, an overlooked gem in the Valley section of Syracuse. Following that we return to the Ollie’s Point memorial greenspace area in Franklin Square to continue improving it. Then we switch gears to the Creek Art Float parade of floating art in partnership with the Syracuse Parks Department. followed by 2 summer recreational paddles down the Creek, our annual Creek work day, and capping off this 25th anniversary year with our 3rd Paddle/Pedal fundraiser for In My Father’s Kitchen at the Mile Market Festival. The public is always welcome at all our events and you can always contact us via email to volunteer.
