Very Few City Parks On The West Side

[iwasthere]

one of my many digs was an apt overlooking mlck pk that was in the Glen area breath taking on all ends.

That is true, but that is just one grand avenue and if you were to go up the streets that lead off Fifth you would see equally splendid homes with manicured lawns. Remember that this area was where the blue bloods of the steel and banking industries built their digs back in the good old days and they didn't build on the cheap.

But getting back to Jay's premise, could it possably be why there are so few city parks on the west side is because the city could never compete with Mill Creek Park?

Consider just how much of that park is on the West Side ... everything west of Glenwood Avenue all the way to the city limits. My goodness, the park has every feature a family could want and then some.

Stambaugh Golf Course is nice, but it's only nine holes ... Mill Creek Golf is a full course that holds compitition golf. No city park has an ampatheater or a Fellows Riverside Garden. The westsiders are blessed and really the envy of the rest of the city.

I say that our area ... Fifth Ave. and Gypsey Lane area have it all over anywhere else in the city ... nay the county.    Now that's really swank. 

as paul harvey would say, here is the rest of the story:  fifth ave recieved a major facelift under pat ungaro who lived on fifth ave while he was mayor. it pays off financially andbeautifully when the ceo that heads your town lives on your st, ave, blvd ect........

   And a magnificant public auditorium more beautiful than Severance Hall in Cleveland.

i agree with you tt.

[Towntalk]

Where else in the city can you have two beautiful parks and a swankey golf course all wrapped up in well manicured lawns and topped with beautiful mansions?

Park No. 4 on the west side is Borts Swimming Pool.  This swimming pool has been closed for many years now.

[jay]

Mill Creek Park was a city park.

FYI
Mill Creek Park was a Youngstown Township Park although Youngstown Township went out of existence many years earlier.

Mill Creek Park is on the west side and if that park isn't enough for you, then you just cannot be satisfied.   the city should shut down these small, little used parks.  There just isn't enough money to maintain all this superfluous stuff anymore.
