Having a park in Liverpool Township had long been a dream of many. In
1999 Township Trustees purchased about 23 acres of land next to the Rocky
River, west branch, for this purpose. It is conveniently located behind
the Depot in downtown Valley City. Access is from Center Road (SR 303).
Turn north at the Fire Station onto Maple Street.
The name Mill Stream Park was chosen because a mill race ran through the
Park area in the 1800's. A commemorative mill wheel, from the Mill Race
Ride at Cedar Point Amusement Park, has been restored and is now in place.
Improvements are steadily being made as shown by this timeline.
