Hiking Mill Creek Canyon Earthworks Park

With natural and sculpted landforms sketched up by designer Herbert Bayer, small water features throughout and a grassy canyon to walk through, this urban green space is a unique place for hikers to explore. 

Fun fact: The park isn't just aesthetically pleasing and recreationally enjoyable — it's also functionally important. The park helps manage the flow of Mill Creek.
