The People's Park!
In the summer of 2007, an energetic group of artists, activists and community members re-claimed an unused former train yard in Syracuse, New York, turning it into a community garden and sculpture park. Individuals volunteered their time and energy to plant a large flower bed, create hand made signs and donated large scale sculptural works of art for display.
Located in a historically creative neighborhood (the near west side), Lipe Art Park was named after a local inventor and businessman, C.E. Lipe, who owned the C.E. Lipe Machine Shop at 208 S. Geddes Sreet. Established in 1880, this shop became an incubator for inventors, with 360 patents coming off the corner of S. Geddes St and West Fayette Streets. C.E. Lipe is also known for his many prolific inventions including: a cigar-rolling machine, a broom-winding machine, motion picture equipment, automatic looms and time recorders. Lipe Art Park, in its completion, represents a re-birth of this historic innovation.
Lipe Art Park is now a popular public space that provides a venue for artists to show their work, paint, sculpt, sing, play musical instruments, write, recite poetry, dance, join in a drum circle, or invent in a large outdoor greenspace. It also serves the direct neighborhood as a central meeting area and a flowering park.
