The Wiles Hill Community Center- 287 Eureka Dr. Morgantown
The Wiles Hill Community Center (WHCC), the former Wiles Hill Grade School, served Morgantown's fourth ward as a local elementary school for approximately 80 years. In 2005, the school and surrounding property was purchased by BOPARC from the Monongalia County Board of Education and added to the City Park System as a Community Center and Park.
WHCC is open to the public Monday-Friday, 8am-7pm (café hours differ) and provides a diverse offering of programs, rental opportunities, and memberships for the entire community. What's happening on "The Hill"? Take a look below!
