A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Thursday to mark the opening of the Wick Recreation Center located at Wick Recreation Area in Youngstown.

The center features a multi-functional, 4-season space offering a team shop with equipment rentals, concessions, a community room for public programming and private rentals, an outdoor patio, recreation offices, and new restroom facilities.

This project was a 2024 capital improvement project funded entirely through the Mill Creek MetroParks general fund. The total project cost was approximately $1.5 million.

The Wick Recreation Area is at 1861 McCollum Road in Youngstown.
