Gazebo Photos

The BOPARC Master Plan (2002) envisioned a gazebo on the playground at Wiles Hill Park, across Eureka Drive from Wiles Hill Elementary.  The Wiles Hill Neighborhood Association (WHNA) committed to building the gazebo if the City of Morgantown would pay for the materials.  Morgantown City Council provided $3,000 for materials and the project got underway in the summer of 2003.  The project has been completed but for a Weather Vane to top it off.
