Here are some of the best parks and playgrounds within Mahoning County, Ohio!
–Wick Park Recreation Area Playground and Splashpad – Mill Creek Park
This park was one of my kids’ favorite parks! There is a huge playground and an area for little kids. They also have a newer splash pad that is working in the summer months. In the winter, they have a sled riding hill!
And of course, there is the rest of Mill Creek Park to explore, like the Lily Pond, Ford Nature Center, Fellow Riverside Gardens and much more!

Playground with an older concrete splashpad.

Boardman park has 3 playgrounds! The main big wooden one, a smaller one and Tot’s Town, a playground for younger children. There’s also a stroller friendly paved path in the woods and smaller paths that branch off it. As well as a Frisbee golf course, tennis, basketball and pickleball courts, pavilions and ball fields.

This park has a wonderful playground as well as a gravel path through the woods. In the winter, they have a sled riding hill!
