Excerpts from the Article written by, Dick Case; October 28, 2004, Syracuse Post Standard, “ Out-of-the-world views are close to home”

“ To the east and north, the summit’s capped with trees and scrubs. The legendary “thousand steps” stairway plunges to Euclid, the count is more like 181 stairs.” (746 Euclid is located at the bottom of the stairs)

“We’re standing on one of Syracuse’s summits, the drumlin rising from the 700 block of Euclid Avenue we call Westminster Park”.

“ The view’s spectacular. To the west, we see the profiles of the city and Syracuse University.”

“People come up here just to watch the sunsets.”

“ We have a newspaper picture of Boy Scouts planting trees on the bald face of the 4.7-acre plot about 1916. Still, interest in Westminster-one of Syracuse’s secret scenic wonders- ebbs and flows over time.”

“ Students at the university could use the hill to study astronomy, especially on moon-light nights.”
