SitemapIt’s the middle of November, but Youngstown City Council is already talking about what is to come in the warmer months.
On Wednesday, council agreed to pay $140,000 for two new splash pads in the city, which will shoot and spray water from sprinklers for children to play on.
They will be located at John White Park on the east side and Homestead Park on the south side.
Council also accepted a $35,000 grant from the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation to offset some of the costs.
Mayor John McNally said the splash pads are a great asset for the Youngstown community.
“It’s awesome for the kids in those neighborhoods, who, at times, don’t have a whole lot of recreational things to enjoy,” he said.
The splash pads have already been built and will be ready to enjoy next summer.
