History

The Mill Park property was purchased in 1986, with the additional property on SE 122nd Ave acquired in 2021. 

Mill Park began as a 5.7 acre park next to Mill Park Elementary. It had an informal soft-surface walking trail, open lawn, and mature trees, but was otherwise undeveloped. Thanks to funding from Park System Development Charges, PP&R secured funds to improve this park. 

Most of the park improvements are now complete, and the park is open to the public. The picnic shelter will be installed later this spring, and a community celebration will be held following that. Visit the Mill Park improvement project webpage for the latest information.
