Old Mill Park, sometimes called "Spencer's Pond," is a unique open space area, blending recreation and history into one beautiful setting. Located in the Old Mill neighborhood, it features a segment of the Big Cottonwood Trail, a charming footbridge, and beautiful shade trees and spring flowers. The pond acts as a catchment basin for debris from Big Cottonwood Creek, and is typically full of water in the springtime.
Following the Big Cottonwood trail eastward, visitors can read informational plaques that narrate the early settlement history of this area, including the history of the adjacent Cottonwood Paper Mill, often referred to simply as the "Old Mill."
