At the last Board of Selectmen meeting in February, Sons of Italy President John Romano presented a $50,000 check donation to the Town of Wilmington for the Yentile Farm Recreational Facility. This was the second installment of the $100,000 that the organization committed to contribute toward the building of the park and its structures.
The park at Yentile Farm Recreational Facility, located at 9 Cross St., has been open since 2017. Current Town Manager Jeff Hull explained that it was in the early 2000s when then Town Manager Michael Caira made a deal with the bank to purchase the 20-acre parcel from a developer who had planned to put in housing.
