The Recreation Department coordinates all city sponsored recreational activities, programs, and facilities within Willowick. We also collaborate closely with youth sports leagues such as Willowick Baseball, Willowick Soccer, Willowick Football, and the Willowick Swim Team to coordinate facility use and program schedules. The Department also works closely with a number of civic non-profit agencies and organizations such as Lake Metroparks and the Willowick Chamber of Commerce to positively influence recreation opportunities.

The department has three full-time staff members. We also work extensively with the Parks Buildings and Lands Division of the Willowick Service Department. Collectively we are all dedicated to provide the residents of Willowick well-maintained modern facilities and beautiful parks. The department is proud to boast about the Richard J. Bonde Activities Center at Manry Park, the Willowick Senior Center, the water playground at Dudley Park, and the numerous recreational facility upgrades and improvements within the city.
