YOUNGSTOWN The city plans to reopen its parks, pavilions, pool, golf course and summer camp program with COVID-19 pandemic safety guidelines in place.
All of the city’s recreational facilities, except walking trails, were closed in mid-March last year because of the pandemic with the North Side Pool, splash pads and the Henry Stambaugh Golf Course not opening at all.
But the parks and their pavilions will reopen in April or May along with the golf course and athletic fields, Kevin Tarpley, a parks and recreation department employee, told city council’s parks and playgrounds committee Friday. He read a statement about the plans from Dawn Turnage, the parks and recreation director, who was unable to attend the virtual meeting.
