Welcome to Eldridge Park! Elmira’s premier family-friendly, open-air space where, thanks to Elmira Infinite Canvas and the Wallin Insurance Agency, the park has received a beautiful new welcome at the west-side entrance. The freshly finished mural boasts a multitude of local favorites from Eldridge Park’s history.
Local artist Chris Eldred spent the majority of August working on the Eldridge-dedicated work of art. As you turn into the park from College Ave, you’ll notice Chris’s work which features a pair of ducks and a fish resident of Eldridge pond, a carousel horse, and a dragon. A dragon?
Yes, a dragon.
The dragon paddle boats at Eldridge Park deserve some time to shine along with their carousel animal partners, right? As the mural suggests with it’s large, multi-colored heart (positioned perfectly behind the friendly mallards), the park’s commitment to being a source of love and comfort within the community deserves to be felt by all members of the park’s culture.
