Confirmed from Mill Stream Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Clean, spacious park featuring playgrounds and trails.
What runners say about Mill Stream Park
“It’s well maintained with a nice track to walk, a playground and an open field.”
“A very fun and beautiful little park, lots of open field space to let your littles run and a good sized playground to play on.”
“When I lived this way I would walk my dogs in this park as well.”
Love the peace and beauty of the park. Great place to get in touch with your self. Pray here as I walk. See God everywhere, grass, trees, water animals, the wind and stars, moon and sky. Good way to start the day with my dog.
Great park. We attend so many events here. Very clean and spacious. Great views and very spacious. Nice playground. Tons of parking. Awesome walking path. The actual bathrooms are the best part.
Love this park!! There is sooo much beautifully kept green space as well as one of the best playgrounds I’ve seen. The playground isn’t huge but the things on it are so unique and fun! Definitely fun for all ages but there is more to enjoy for kids between the ages of 3/4-10/11, in my opinion.
This park is amazing! My now husband found it by accident years ago, and he and I used to visit daily. We took beautiful wedding photos there and now bring our kids to play on the playground. Walking track, scenery, playground, pavilion, restrooms with real plumbing, this park has it all! Go visit.
