BOARDMAN - After years in the making, the Forest Lawn Stormwater Park is scheduled to officially open at the end of the month.

The ABC Water and Stormwater District will celebrate the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, October 29, at 10:30 a.m.

The former site of Market St. Elementary School, Forest Lawn Stormwater Park was an initiative developed by the ABC District and Boardman Township to address local flooding and stream erosions impacting nearby neighborhoods.

Not only will the park benefit flood management, it will feature a green space preservation that will improve water quailty.

There will also be a recreational area and walking path for visitors to enjoy.

Forest Lawn Stormwater Park is located at 5555 Market Street in Boardman.
