Old Mill Park (identified as Wax Orchards Park in correspondence and initial planning by King County) was established in 2022. Working together, King County leadership and dedicated staff succeeded in reaching agreement with the previous owner, combining public funds from several sources (Conservation Futures, Parks Levy funds and farmland preservation programming) to complete the purchase. Old Mill Park Friends came together to organize community involvement around important decisions affecting care and stewardship of the park, and to develop an effective working relationship with King County Parks, other community groups and an interested public around shared values.
