Park 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.
In the summer of 2021, a portion of the System Development Charge funds for this project were used to purchase the adjacent 22,000 square foot property at 1949 SE 122nd Avenue to create a new park entry from SE 122nd Avenue and increase the total open space provided by Mill Park to approximately 6.2 acres.
Thanks to funding from Park System Development Charges, PP&R secured funds to improve this park. Improvements to Mill Park were guided by the park's 2017 Master Plan and included a playground, splash pad, central lawn, gathering area, picnic shelter and tables, community garden, paved pathways, public art, and other park amenities.
All dogs must be leashed in this park.

Citywide condition atlasAcross 62 assessed assets at this park, 2%are in poor or very-bad condition (rated 4–5). Pooled from the City's public assessment layers — buildings, bridges, playgrounds, courts, fields, fences, paths and amenities.
Condition is rated 1 (good) to 5 (very bad); blank means not yet assessed and is excluded. Park trees are inventoried separately and not counted here. No repair costs — those aren't published.
Repair ledger
Assessment dates are copied from the public Parks Amenities layer. Old dates mean this source does not publish a newer assessment for that asset, not that we have confirmed no newer internal inspection exists. PP&R does not publish itemized repair costs, so this ledger shows needs without dollar figures.
Picnic Table is flagged because the public asset record shows critical condition (public code 5).
PP&R does not publish an itemized repair cost for this record, so none is shown.
