Boardman Park - Recreation Facilities

The park features nature trails, two beach volleyball courts, tennis courts, a hike & bike trail, the Maag Outdoor Arts Theatre, vending machines and several baseball fields. One of the most popular areas of the park is Kids' Town, a large wooden playground complex built in October 1993 by thousands of volunteers from the community.

Music in the park...Boardman Park, with the support of annual sponsors, provides weekly musical entertainment throughout the summer months. Performance schedule times and dates are available in late Spring here.

Opening soon… the Lariccia Family Bocce Pavilion. This open-air pavilion will provide two (2) regulation bocce courts, which will be the first public courts in Mahoning County. Additionally, because of its unique design, a portable floor system can be placed over the Bocce Courts; thereby, providing 5,800 square feet of floor space under roof. This feature will give the Pavilion a multi-use dimension, facilitating Park District programs, special events and other Community functions.

The Pavilion is named after one of the Park’s most generous supporters - Anthony J. Lariccia and his family. Mr. Lariccia has not only contributed to the completion of the Bocce Pavilion, but most generously supported the renovation of Boardman’s most prominent landmark – St. James Meeting House. Mr. Lariccia is definitely an individual who cares deeply about and supports a diversity of Community projects and organizations; thereby, enhancing the quality of life throughout our Community. Thus, to pay tribute to this community-minded individual and his family, the Board of Park Commissioners appropriately named this one-of-a-kind facility – The Lariccia Family Bocce Pavilion.

This colonial-styled facility with its lighted cupola was designed by Robert Mastriana of The 4M Company and built by Brock Builders, Inc. will definitely be a well used and appreciated addition to the Park District, and is pursuant to the Park’s mission – to provide a diversity of recreational facilities and programs.

The Courts are reservable in 1 ½ hour time slots for a $10 fee {both Courts at the same time - $15}, with the Park providing the Bocce Sets. When the Courts are not reserved, Open Play will be permitted on a first-come-first-serve basis. For more information, please call the Park Office, Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 4:30 PM.
