Wick Park Historic District - Revitalization

Revitalization

Wick Park is named for donor James Wick, a Youngstown-area industrialist. The park occupies a central portion of the district and, maintained by the Youngstown Department of Parks and Recreation, is well tended. While it remains an important site of recreation, Wick Park draws fewer residents than the Metroparks' Mill Creek Park, which is the second largest metropolitan park in the United States behind New York City's Central Park. A recent effort to revitalize the park is being led by a coalition of local organizations including the Raymond John Wean Foundation, CityScape, Wick Park Neighborhood Association (www.WickPark.org) and Treez Please.
