Recreation

The Borough of Moosic has six parks for public use and enjoyment located throughout the four wards. Anyone living in Moosic Borough and would like to book an event at Mercatili Segilia Park are asked to call the Moosic Borough Office at (570) 457-5480.

Ward 1 is the home of the Moosic Little League teams, including T-Ball. It also contains tennis court and playground equipment for young children as well as a basket ball court. It is located behind Minooka Ave. on Petro Court.

Ward 1 also contains the William T. Quinlan Complex located off Spring Street. This multi-purpose field is the HOME field for the Riverside School District baseball team. It also serves as the home field for the Moosic Raiders Football team, Moosic Borough Teener League and Moosic Adult Softball team. It contains playground equipment and basketball court.

Ward 2 has a playground located off Irene Lichak Court and is equipped with the newest playground equipment, a tennis court and a basketball court.

Ward 3 has the Ken Smerdon Field, which contains new playground equipment and a basketball court.

Ward 4 is the home of the Moosic Red Wings Girls Softball League and is located at the Kobesky Field off Lydon Lane. It is also used as a Soccer Field and contains a batting cage and new playground equipment for young children.

Ward 4 will also boast of a Mercatili Seglia Park which is home of the New Children's Centennial Park. It contains a Gazebo, Pavilion and picnic tables and benches. The lighted walkways can be enjoyed by all ages but will be especially attractive to older adults. With the help of the Borough and the Children's Centennial Park Committee, this park is especially attractive for family outing and special events for all ages. Although the Borough of Moosic has acquired new playground equipment, through various recreation grants for each of the parks located through the various wards in the community, we are especially proud of the Centennial Children's Park. The playground committee is pleased with the newly acquired equipment, which has been installed by the employees of the Department of Public Works of Moosic Borough. Residents of the community can now enjoy the park while their children enjoy the playground.

The Recreation Committee of the Borough is proud to announce the addition of playground equipment to the Mercatili-Segilia Park, which was made possible through a donation made in memory of Bernie Sklanka. And also the Centennial Park Playground Committee has placed a toddlers section in addition to the playground equipment.

A new playground will grace the Elm Street area in lower Moosic. The Borough has accepted a parcel of ground from an area developer and has placed playground equipment at the site. We are pleased to add this addition to the Moosic Borough Park system.

As a whole the community is quiet, friendly, safe, and giving. During the fall and winter seasons the children have a warm place to play at the Moosic Youth Center. The Center is a non-profit agency. It is the home of the Biddy Basketball, and during the evenings you can find children playing basketball, pool, ping-pong, and doing arts and crafts. The Youth center is also involved in a wide range of social activities including the MYC Teen Club, Boys and Girls Club of Scranton is sponsoring an After School Program, and the Moosic Lions Club. The center can also be rented for parties and other events.
