mills park

Compact, pleasant area for a stroll and great squirrel watching! Oak Park is great for walking but we were happy to rest our feet on a bench for awhile.

This is such a nice park for a stroll - we like to cut through on our bikes. I always have to go by the beautiful mansion and admire the front porch. Went on a tour of the house and loved to imagine what the area looked like at the turn of the century.

Mills Park is next to the lovely Pleasant Home. It has a nice winding sidewalk and is nicely landscaped. Its popular with dog walkers and joggers. Located near the Marion Street business and restaurants, it's a good place for a stroll after eating out or shopping.

One of the really nice parks in Oak Park. Just enough trees to have both shady spots and sunny spots, plenty of room for frisbee-playing, and there's the historical society in the middle.I came here twice during a weeklong period with my boyfriend, and both times we saw people pass through with absurd quantities of canines on-leash. Think Robin from How I Met Your Mother. Hilarity.There's no playground equipment or baseball diamond at this park, as at so many others, which sets it apart in a nice way. Definitely for an older crowd, by which I just mean it's tot-free. Come with a dog (or ten), a ball, a frisbee, a picnic (I recommend PB&J wrapped in a tortilla with rice krispies, but tI would recommend that any time, any place), a beach towel, some SPF 30, and some great company, and you'll be right at home.
