The most recently incorporated city along our creeks, Millcreek is surrounded by natural assets, including Mount Olympus to the east, the Jordan River to the west, and Mill and Big Cottonwood Creeks on either side. When compared to the other seven municipalities along our creeks, the City is the second most expensive, in terms of affordability, and has the third highest median home value [01].
Millcreek has the second highest amount of buried and impaired creeks [03]. Much of Mill Creek (the city’s namesake) and Big Cottonwood Creek flow through private property. Scott Avenue Park is the only established green space along one of the creeks within the municipality. It features a detention pond, community garden, and large grass lawns. A small stretch of Parleys Creek flows along the northern boundary of the municipality by the mouth of its canyon—the start of the infamous “Shoot the Tube.”
