Mill Race Park

[3][4] In the late 1980s a redesign and update was awarded to Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, resulting in the completion of the current design of Mill Race Park in 1993.

The site features a loop road around the perimeter of the park, path systems, and two small lakes connected by a wooden bridge.

Key design features include a circular lake to contrast the soft natural curves of the surrounding river.

An earthen amphitheater, inspired by Native American earthworks found in the Ohio River Valley, is located at the end of a broad field, and forms a crest of land that remains above the water during floods.

An interpretive boardwalk that ties the existing park wetland to a path system that continues into the surrounding community.
