Walk Eastwood Challenge

Eastwood is Syracuse’s most walkable neighborhood. To prove it, we’re walking all 99 streets, 43 miles of roads, this summer. And we’re challenging our neighbors to get out and walk every street in Eastwood with us starting April 1. Come join us and get to know Eastwood! Learn more at eastwoodneighbor.com/walk.

Finish by the 17th Annual Eastwood Five-Mile Race to earn your Walk Eastwood Challenge t-shirt!

There are just over 43 miles of roads in Eastwood, a neighborhood encompassing just under 2 square miles. Eastwood contains over 4,500 homes and six official Parks. Yes, this walking challenge is partly about fitness and health, but even more it’s about getting outside, meeting each other, and getting to know the whole neighborhood - even parts you’ve never visited before. Encourage your friends and neighbors to join you and as you walk tag us on Facebook and Instagram and use #WalkEastwood.

We are LOVING the pics that our neighbors have shared so far.

Eastwood Memorial Day Parade is coming back!

ENA is partnering with Eastwood American Legion Post 1276 to bring back the Eastwood Memorial Day Parade!

Mark your calendars for May 29.

The only Memorial Day Parade in the City of Syracuse! Parade starts at 9:00 AM at the Eastwood American Legion Post 1276 (Nichols and James) and ends at Greenway Veterans' Memorial Park (2309 James St) with a Veterans' Memorial Ceremony. Bring your lawn chairs and set up anywhere along James Street to enjoy the parade!

If your group is interested in marching or driving in the parade, contact Jesse Harrington at 315-569-3722.

We are also looking for 8 more volunteers (or 8 pairs if you want to volunteer with a friend) to help with traffic control along the route. Syracuse Police will manage traffic at major intersections, but at minor streets we need volunteers to set up barricades and, if needed, ask drivers to wait until the parade passes or go around the parade route. Volunteer and earn an Eastwood t-shirt! Click here to VOLUNTEER

If you are interested in making a donation to cover the costs of the parade, you can do so via the link below:
