Set on the banks of babbling Mammoth Creek, right on the Town Loop, with spectacular views of Mammoth Mountain and the Sherwin Range, Mammoth Creek Park West is a favorite warm-weather spot for locals and visitors alike. Featuring grassy lawns, play equipment, natural granite boulders, parking, restrooms, picnic tables and the NEW Community Recreation Center, home to the LA Kings Ice at Mammoth Lakes, an Olympic ice rink operating from October to April, and the Mammoth RecZone, offering a multitude of court sports, summer camps, and community events and activities. There’s a nice, shaded stream bank, too, where kids can wade in the creek and runners can soak their weary legs in water that only recently was snow.
