Elmwood Park Syracuse, New York. The park was originally built and opened as a privately owned park in 1893. It is significant as an example of such parks from the Pleasure Ground Era. The site was purchased by the city of Syracuse in 1927. Subsequently, bridges, embankments, walls and stairs built of wood and stone were added, making the park also representative of the Reform Park Era.^[2][3] The park was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.^[1]
