The Village of Cayuga Heights, working with Whitham Planning and Design, is undertaking a preservation
and improvement process for our beloved Sunset Park. Last month, we put out a call for stories, photos,
or other records that depict this lovely park through the decades. We were thrilled at the stories we
received: an engagement, some foraging, and even a little trouble-making!
We have yet to receive any photos, so we are extending the call for entries and ask that you flip through
your photo albums (the digital or old-fashioned type) and share what you have with the team at WPD. If
you only have printed photos, please reach out and they will help you scan them. If you have stories you
would like to share about the history of Sunset Park, WPD would enjoy hearing from you. WPD will be
collecting all historic material through March 10, 2023. Please forward any materials to
info@whithamdesign.com.
In the next couple of months, WPD will be talking to neighbors, conducting a survey of park use, as well
as hosting an Open House in early May.
