Beautiful colors in October! Well-maintained park with beautiful trees! Fun to go to at any time of the year. read more

Mills Park is an AOK place to visit, especially if you're thinking about picnicing, walking, skating, or biking. Tip: There happens to be a Swim Center that's conveniently located right next door :-) Over and above the Swim Center, also immediately adjacent are several decent places to eat. read more

It's alright but some areas super run down, the courts in particular are pretty trashed. I do not appreciate the bum sleeping on the grass either. Looks like CC is slowly becoming Reno. read more

Mills Park is absolutely stunning! So many trees for shade and lots of room to walk around. It is well kept. We came recently for the Nevada State Fair (which was an absolute joke and will certainly not come again - but I do not believe that is the fault of the park as the location is lovely). We ended up riding the train, which for $2 a person is a great deal! It was so fun and a great little adventure. The train depot has a lovely little model train in it and fun things to look at. If I lived in Carson City, I would certainly spend more time at Mills Park. read more

Been going to this park for years. We used to walk the trails here almost everyday. Last time at the park we were walking our dog after a time away from our regular walks. We had no idea that dogs were not allowed even on leash. We did not notice signs or we woukd not have stopped. We got a warning from a park ranger who took down our information. We were told if we have the dog there again we could get fined. We were told where the dog parks are located. We follow the rules when we are aware by signs posted. Not even sure why dogs aren't allowed. The get many homeless persons who ha g out there and some have a dog plus lots of geese who leave droppings on the grass and walks. We like the location and the train for kids that runs in summer. Plus local events take place here. Just need to remember that no dogs allowed. read more

No dogs allowed. I was surprised to see the sign not allowing dogs. This is probably the first park I've seen that doesn't allow pets. This is a nice park otherwise. A lot of space so even if it was crowded, there wouldn't be an issue finding a spot to enjoy time with friends and family. There were very few people at the park on this Saturday afternoon and last weekend before school starts. The air quality from the fires likely kept people away. read more

This is a lovely park with lots of mature trees, a small railroad, skateboard area , a little creek, play areas and this summer the new location for the Farmers Market on Sundays. It is a great resource for family fun. read more

Since they opened the park to leashed dogs it has turned into piles of poop everywhere and owners not leashing their pets. I was there today and of the 4 dogs present 3 were completely off leash and none had recall. It's sad that there are so many selfish people who can't follow rules so others can enjoy the park as well. read more

Mills Park has a walking trail, a playground, a skate park, and a fitness path. There is plenty of parking and clean bathrooms. They also have a small train to ride during the summer months. This is the main park in Carson, and where a lot of events are held. The only downside is that there are some questionable characters who hang out in this park, at times. Last time I was there, some guy was sleeping in his truck in the parking lot. Because of this, I tend to only come to Mills Park with other people, as I don't feel completely safe by myself. read more

Being from Reno, I rely heavily on yelp's help to find places where my kids can be entertained while spending a day puttering around new towns. My son was taking a final eight hour hunter's education course and I didn't want to drop the kids off anywhere for the whole day. So I went to the great yelpers of the area for some help and was guided to this nice park. With a small creek that the kids could play in, the well kept green grass areas, picnic tables, and playground, the kids had plenty of room to play and enjoy the nice afternoon. As an added bonus, this park is directly next to the community pool that is a great place to swim. Bathrooms were closed so that was a slight bummer. But the Park was full of families, lots of kids, and even a birthday party; which is saying something for an April afternoon in northern Nevada. Check it out. read more

This was our second year coming to the Nevada State Fair here. Having grown up in Sacramento with the CA State Fair, it's hard to call this a fair. To me it's really a small carnival. It mostly consists of some rides and food booths, a few craft and trinket booths, a little area selling items from the old west era. The setting is ok however with nice grassy areas for parents to sit and watch. We always buy an unlimited wrist band on Groupon for $15 (instead of $30) which makes it reasonable, and we take the kids for an end of school year celebration. If you go on the early side, it's less crowded and I round recommend that if you have younger children. In the late afternoon and evening, you get more teens and a more rowdy crowd and much longer lines. There are some old park bathrooms available that are in need of updating and they add portable bathrooms for the event. If your kids like carnival rides like ours, it's probably worth it but that's pretty much all I would go for, unless you need a greasy carnival food fix. read more

Driving through Carson City and stopped to find a skatepark to let my children get their wiggles out. Skatepark was perfect. This park is well kept with beautiful grassy meadows & tons of picnic tables. We even got to take a train ride around the park. read more

The boys both 12 had a blast trying out their scooters at Mills Park! The Wheelhouse a really awesome Carson skate shop had just tricked out their scooters and they rode like a dream! I highly recommend both places, first The Wheelhouse for the items you need to make your skate or scooter go fast and make those radical turns, then head over to Mills Park in Carson City. Or if heading to Gardnerville try out Lampe skate park which could be the best park in the area. Its just off the main drag with parking close and full view of the park, a grass park nearby as well as restaurants, coffee shops, fast food, gas and quick stops. read more

Carson city parks and recreation department does a very good job of maintaining this park. The grass is green, trees and shrubs are well-maintained and the playground equipment looks good. I have attended several events here through the years and used to hang out on my lunch breaks when working in the area. This is one of the better locations if you are looking to hold a large scale event. The pony express pavilion has plenty of capacity to hold lots of people and there is usually ample parking for them as well. read more

Mills Park is great. It's even greater whenever there's a state fair here. We can have hours and hours of entertainment for the weekend.

Invited by a friend to go to the park. Had never been here before. Its a nice park. Lots of grassy area's as well as pleanty of shade from huge trees. Very clean, except for the animal poop on the sidewalk. They have a train to ride that cost 2$ a ticket or 3 for 5$. Its a nice ride through the park. Though there was some sort of fitness event going on there still was pleanty of parking. The bathrooms were even very clean which was wonderful. Nicely stocked with t.p. read more

Mills park is a beautiful park. Whether you want to play volley ball, tennis, horseshoes, or soccer there is a place for you at mills park. My little one loves the little train ride and the train models set up, and running inside the "train station." Plus, the people that run the train are quite friendly. Even though neither of my kids skate, one of the things I like the best about this park is the skate park section. It is so important for kids to have somewhere to go and something to do so they stay out of trouble. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the toddler playground is in full sun and gets too hot to play on. With all of that space and all of those wonderful trees, you would think the playgrounds would have been placed in atleast partial shade. That aside....What a fantastical place!!! read more

didnt know that they had roller skating here during the summer.. you think they would advertise more.. read more
