The $350K Renovation Project was Part of Rotary’s Centennial Campaign
The Rotary Club of Youngstown, in partnership with the City of Youngstown and Youngstown CityScape, held a dedication ceremony on Wednesday, November 27th for the recently renovated Wick Park Pavilion.
Since 2016, the club has raised over $350,000 for the project which served as part of the group’s 100 year Centennial Campaign. The pavilion was selected because of its great use by the entire community as well as the park’s historic location. Improvements include new roof, gutters, HVAC system, electrical system, windows, indoor and outdoor bathrooms, kitchen, main hall and universal accessibility upgrades. Youngstown CityScape served as the project manager.
In 1890, members of the Wick family donated wooded land to the City of Youngstown for the development of Wick Park. Today, the 34-acre park is considered the crown jewel and anchor of the Wick Park Historic District. Wick Park’s pavilion was built in 1957 as an answer to a growing need for a post-war community gathering space. It remains one of the most used facility’s in the park system’s inventory.
