Recreation/leisure activities are many and varied. The city of Morgantown has 6 parks, 2 pools, baseball and softball fields, tennis courts and much more for all ages. Just east of the city is Cheat Lake, an 1800 acre body of water that is ideal for swimming and boating. Close to the lake is Cooper’s Rock State Forest where one can view nature from a scenic overlook, hike, fish, hunt, picnic and just relax.
The Morgantown area enjoys a unique balance of cultural events. West Virginia University’s College of Creative Arts and the Monongalia Arts Center are just two of the groups providing events for all ages all year around.
