Mill Creek Wick Recreation Area — Attraction in Youngstown

Refreshing!

On our most recent trip to Ohio as part of our summer road trip (we are from PA) we chose to veer off to let the kids cool off. It was nice knowing that there was a splash pad available at this location. Not only was it a place to cool off, but also one to get absolutely drenched if you wanted to.

The theme of the splash pad appeared to be a garden. There were flowers with sprays of water that came up out of them, and what looked to be tulips in the area that had buckets that would fill and dump when they were completely filled. There were also archways you could run through and mushrooms that poured pools of water.

Restrooms over by the par, three golf course, made it easy to change for the splash park and then out of your wet clothes afterward.

There was a birthday party going on when we arrived so there were a lot of kids to play with. Behind the splash pad was a playground area and some pavilions.

Might I add that the people in this area, at least one that we came across was very honest. Our daughter had left her phone in the restroom and we had been about 45 minutes away when she realized that she had left it so we returned. We called the par 3 and nobody had turned one in and checked the bathrooms and did not find. A few of the family members from the birthday were still sitting socializing and I walked over to ask if they had happened to see a phone that was left in the restroom and one of them handed it over to me. I believe she was waiting to see if someone would show up and she was keeping it safe. You don’t see this a lot today so I was very thankful to her and just wanted to mention that there are some wonderfully honest people out there and that, I thank her over and over again for making my daughters day!

I will definitely return to this area on future visits!

Good for kids with playground, splash pad, and kid friendly hiking. Pavilions for birthday...

The playground is one my favorites. Esp the mushroom nature one near sand box. The sandbox had dinosaur bones you can dig to... Heard they removed it but not sure if that is accurate. I thought that was an amazing hidden diamond so I hope they didn't remove them. And it was just refilled heavily with more sand.

Splash pad there but not sure if a button to press or not. We were unable to get the water running last time we were there. Not sure if it has button like other parks or if certain times. Wish they had information signs clearly stating. They looked to have hockey place and volleyball court. Pavilion. Saw a sign saying pool coming soon. Don't know accuracy of it tho either. Definitely a hidden gem.

Only complaints were the parents not watching or correcting their children's behaviors. Ex. My son (5) had a much older kid (10+?) that threw sand right in his face and eyes. Another few girls that were putting sand in the water fountain that was already overflowing and backed up. Trash seems to be an issue. Parents not cleaning up after their kids or kids not cleaning up after themselves. It's such a nice playground and park. It's a shame to see people misuse and abuse it.

People tend to ruin good things... I hope to go back and see it cleaner and parents watching their...

The playground area is equipped with many challenging, yet fun activities for kids of all ages! Last year they put in a wonderful Splash Pad area for cooling off on hot summer days! There is a picnic pavilion, refreshment stand, and clean restrooms. There are ball fields, sledding hill, ice skating area, golf course, and Judge Morley Pavilion, which hosts free lawn concerts during the...
