Mill Creek Nature Park is a municipal park located in the Town of Riverview which combines outdoor recreation with nature conservation.
The Mill Creek Nature Park Facebook page is administered by The Friends of Mill Creek. The park entrance is located at the south end of Runneymeade Road.
In 2012 local students, residents and community stakeholders crafted the vision for Riverview’s Mill Creek Nature Park: A flourishing local and regional destination for nature, play and sport that achieves a sustainable balance between conserving the natural ecosystem and fostering sound economic development.
Charged with stewarding the Mill Creek Nature Park vision and development is the Friends of Mill Creek Committee. The “Friends” are a committed group of community volunteers whose contribution of expertise and time are dedicated to working with the Town of Riverview and guiding the development of the Mill Creek Nature Park.
The Friends of Mill Creek goals are to increase sustainable year-round use of the park trails and spaces, build and nurture partnerships with community organizations and groups that share in the park vision, and foster opportunities for conservation education. They do this through ongoing awareness and engagement activities, trail development and overseeing installation and servicing of park amenities.
Personal connections with the natural world are powerful. These connections are critical to our health and social well-being. They nurture our vitality and creativity, and they encourage ties with the land that are centuries old.
