YOUNGSTOWN — Effective today, several roads within Mill Creek Park will close to vehicular traffic for the winter season.

The roads that are closed are High Drive between Chestnut Hill Drive and West Cohasset Drive, Chestnut Hill Drive between Canfield Road and High Drive, and Calvary Run Drive between Belle Vista Avenue and Milton Avenue.

Park officials said during the seasonal closure, the roads remain open for recreational use, including hiking, cross country skiing and sledding.

In addition to creating unique winter recreation opportunities, the closures provide important operational and environmental benefits, such as reducing snow and ice removal costs and minimizing the environmental impact of deicing salt.

All roads will reopen in the spring as weather and conditions allow.
