Mammoth Creek Park — Attraction in Mammoth Lakes

The park was nice. They had signs about keeping dogs ON LEASH. They had poop bags in a stand for you to obtain for FREE yet people kept taking their dogs OFF leash and allowing them to POOP without bothering to pick it up. I asked the people to put their dogs ON the leash and politely asked them to pick up after one of the dogs. She looked at me and took her foot and slid dirt over the poo and flung it between the large rocks where children had been playing moments earlier. Later a couple approached me and praised me for my courage to do that and how happy they were that I did. Turned out the person who did it provided services for their wedding and she was disappointed in them as well. She said she witnessed these same people allowing an even bigger dog poo and NOT pick it up. INCREDIBLE! I give it a 4 as it was not properly maintained and I stepped on dog poo from another dog. There was a nice play structure but clearly animal control needs to take a few more sweeps...

Green, clean and sounds of a flowing creek overcome the unsuspecting 4 to 100 year old visitor. The play place has sandy goodness where many kid’s size 13 shoes find safety and abrasion in the shade of the towering pine trees.

Notice the views of Mammoth Mountain and Sherwin Range from the park. Desire to run or ride your bike? If yes then this is the perfect push off point for accessing the Mammoth Trail System. Try the town loop for 7.3 miles.

Restrooms are stocked and cleaned regularly and this park has natural granite boulders, monument and a under street tunnel to keep you rolling on your bike, in motion in your Newton’s or just safe from rain, wind or wonderful...

This is my favorite park in Mammoth Lakes. In the summer they put up a shade structure which makes it nice and cool the play. This playground has activities for all ages. There are a few benches on the North side with several tables in the area to eat snacks. It is close to the main part of town which means it is really popular and there is a path from 3 directions which means you can walk, run, or bike there.

Currently one of the sticks to hit the metal tubes to make music is broken and missing and there is a red knob in the little kids area...
