Mammoth Creek Park
Overview
If you're looking to get outside right in town, Mammoth Creek Park offers convenient access to casual outdoor recreation. From mid-May to early November (weather permitting), grassy lawns, playground equipment, picnic tables and a shaded creek for wading make the park a great place to spend a warm-weather afternoon. Plus, you can enjoy spectacular views of Mammoth Mountain and the Sherwin Range. With connecting bike paths and a trolley stop nearby, you can easily access the park without a car. Or, if you choose to drive, parking is available.
