Good park to relax and enjoy on the weekends. There are musicians playing songs and people exercise here. A lot of space and clean, well designed.

We went to Mitchell Park on a Saturday and spent some wonderful time there.
Magical Bridge Playground is truly one of the standout play areas in the area! Parents can relax in the shaded section equipped with benches and tables while their children explore the diverse range of attractions, including roller slides, steep slides, regular slides, and various spinning contraptions and swings.
The park also offers amenities like artificial grass and cardboard pieces for sliding.
Adjacent to the playground is a library, providing convenient access to bathrooms and a quiet spot for reading or decompressing. Ample parking makes it easy to access, and the park's spacious layout includes volleyball courts, a dedicated children's area, and plenty of open grassy spaces for picnics.
During our visit, we encountered a vibrant mix of park-goers, from moms pushing strollers to high schoolers enjoying volleyball, and even dog walkers. Observing the diverse tapestry of life in the park was quite fascinating, highlighting the beauty of nature and community.
Given the excellent weather and the park's natural charm, we're already planning our next visit. It's a wonderful place to celebrate the outdoors and everything nature has to offer.

I play pickleball here. Six permanent courts with another 8 or so, converted tennis courts with temporary nets. These temp courts will be converted soon to permanent. Great group of people, all different levels of play.

My daughter loved the Park specially Magical bridge. There are lots of playing options for kids for all ages. Also very good place for picnic. It has big ground where you can sit and relax, have food and enjoy the afternoon. There was also a local band was performing and had a great time. There is no parking or entry fee for the park however can help magical bridge to expand by donating. Small banners posted for donations. You can easily spend 2-3 hours here.

Mitchell Park is an underrated gem. You'd think a random park in suburban hell couldn't be that interesting, but this place is in fact a wonderland of sounds, sights, and experiences.

At Mitchell Park I have seen battles being fought, I have seen planets colliding, and I have seen Will-O-Wisps beckon you into the depths of the forest. All to the sounds of pickleball, the eternal sport that THRIVES in Mitchell Park.

Part of the best day of my entire life was spent at Mitchell Park. A day I will never forget, an experience that will always stay with me. Mitchell Park is a glorious, majestic beacon of life, excitement, and beauty. If you visit, you will leave with a renewed sense of appreciation and gratefulness for people, the universe, and your own life. If you're looking for something to do on a random Sunday afternoon, spend it here, in the best park in the entire universe.
