Elyria residents on the south side celebrate the South Park Recreation Center, a $1.6 million project seen as overdue by City Councilman Herman Larkins. He recalls that a south side center has been sought since the 1940s, with earlier attempts stalled by disbelief after long delays. A dedication and ribbon cutting are planned with choirs and speeches by officials and community leaders.
