Peterson Park and Clock Tower

Town One Streetscapes, a not-for-profit corporation formed on August 9, 1997, works to assist Poland Village and Poland Township in improving the curb appeal of their main roads through the installation of sidewalks, trees, and lighting to create a safe community for all generations. Peterson Park was created through the leadership of the Peterson and Scotford families. Raymond W. Peterson, born and raised in the Youngstown area, was a committed family man, successful businessman, and active in community affairs, and his love of Poland inspired his family and friends to support the effort and dedicate the park in his name. John and Judy Scotford, residents of Poland since 1963, donated the funds to purchase the land for the park, and John also developed numerous properties in Poland Village, most notably Town One Square, that enhanced the center of Poland. The clock tower was built in 1999 and enhanced in 2004 to accommodate the carillon and bells, and both the park, the clock tower, and the street trees were made possible through generous contributions and in-kind donations from individuals and companies.
