Mill Race Park, Urban park in Columbus, Indiana, US.
Mill Race Park spans 85 acres along the convergence of Flat Rock and Driftwood rivers, featuring an observation tower, covered bridge, and recreational facilities.
The area transformed from an impoverished neighborhood known as Death Valley in the 1930s to become the first version of Tipton Park in 1963.
The 84-foot observation tower and architectural elements, designed by Stanley Saitowitz, incorporate red painted metal artistry throughout the structures.
Five parking areas serve visitors accessing the basketball courts, boat ramp, fishing spots, and shelterhouses equipped with electrical outlets and water facilities.
The park integrates natural flooding patterns into its design, with an earthen amphitheater positioned to remain above water during high river levels.
