YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Crews will be working for approximately ten weeks to give the Mill Creek Parks Lily Pond a face lift.

Improvements to the Lily Pond will include benches, a drinking fountain, boardwalks and an information kiosk to make the park more enjoyable.

This is a $334,000 project and is funded by the Hine Memorial Fund of the Youngstown Foundation and the Ohio EPA Surface Water Improvement Fund.

Funds have also been contributed from other companies and foundations.

Due to construction, the entire Lily Pond area and connecting hiking trails will be closed for approximately 10 weeks.
