Mill Creek Park Suspension Bridge

The Mill Creek Park Suspension Bridge spans 86 feet across Mill Creek, connecting the eastern and western sections of the park with steel cables and timber deck.

Charles Fowler from the Youngstown Bridge Company designed this National Register of Historic Places structure in 1895 following Volney Rogers vision for decorative park entrances.

The bridge earned multiple names through time including Silver Bridge, Cinderella Bridge, and Castle Bridge, reflecting its integration into local community identity.

A substantial rehabilitation project in 2007 reinforced the structural integrity of the bridge while maintaining its original design elements through federal and local funding.

This bridge stands as the oldest among six bridges within Mill Creek Park, featuring a 32-foot width that accommodates both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
